A Look Back at Our Daily Bread Designs' December Release

Good morning and welcome to today's look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' December Release.  I created a card for today's post using Pennant Flag Verses stamp set, Double Stitched Pennant Flags Die and coordinating Pennant Flags Die.  For more inspiration using the December Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog.

I started with a white card stock card base measuring 5.5 by 8.5 inches, scoring and folding at 4.25 inches.  I then added a red card stock base measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches to create my base.  I pulled out ODBD's Majestic Medallion Die and cut the soft silver frame and DP layer.  (You can find the DP in ODBD's Holly Jolly Paper Collection.)  I then added a die cut layer using red card stock.  I embossed the sentiment (from ODBD's Pennant Flag Verses) on red card stock and added additional banners using the nested Double Stitched Pennant Flags Die and Pennant Flags Die.  

So here are the December release items you see used today...

and a few old favorites...

Don't forget to visit my design team sisters to see what they have cooked up for you as well!  Thanks for stopping by and sharing a bit of your day!

Blessings...

Good morning!!!  Thanks so much for stopping by!  Today I have a simple card using silver poster board, white and black card stock along with some fun papers from Our Daily Bread Designs.  Plus it features the new July stamp release, You Bless Me.  I chose a very simple color scheme for this...  I wanted the image and sentiment to shine...

I stamped the sentiment on white card stock with a soft gray ink before adding my sentiment with a bold black.  The image is a beautiful glad...  one of my favorite summer flowers...

I love how this image can be colored and yet look so elegant with a simple outline...

Here is one of the new dies from this month's release that I used also...

SO let's get into the specifics...  

Layer by layer...

1. Black Card Stock (CS) measuring 4.25 by 11 inches, scored and folded at 5.5 inches
2. White CS cut and embossed with ODBD's Majestic Medallion Die
3. Silver Poster board mat cut slightly larger than the next layer (about 1/8 inch) - popped up with dimensional foam
4. Chalkboard Designer Paper (DP) from ODBD's Chalkboard Paper Collection; cut and embossed with ODBD's Pierced Rectangles Die
5. Silver Poster Board cut and embossed with ODBD's NEW  **Ornate Ovals Die**
6. Black CS cut and embossed with ODBD's NEW **Ornate Ovals Die**
7. White CS cut and embossed with ODBD's Pierced Ovals Die
8. Stamped image (light gray ink) with ODBD's NEW **You Bless Me** and then sentiment with black ink
9. Recollections pearls adhered to all four corners

Here are some of ODBD's classics you see on this project today...

F4A327~ You're Sweet ~

This week's Free 4 All Friday Challenge at SCS (Splitcoaststampers) is to make a card that reflects what you like to do, or wish you could do, in your free time.  Unfortunately, like many others, I have zero free time.  I keep telling myself that if I budgeted my time better...  but with job demands, life demands...  we've all been there, right?  

So for me, I would love to have time to have a real flower garden.  Specifically, I would like a heritage garden full of hollyhocks, sweet peas and roses...  lavender...  you get the idea!  I love the idea of having a beautiful garden like something my great grandmother would have had!

So for today's challenge I colored a couple of rose images from Our Daily Bread Designs' Tea Time stamp set and went to work.

Happy Saturday!  I hope you find yourself warm and dry this morning!  The weather is a bit soggy in my neck of the woods...  It almost feels like we are in a 40 days and 40 nights kinda of weather pattern...  lol...  And I'm sure when Noah was filling the ark, a couple of these creatures were happy to hop on.  I often wonder if they were a bit mischievous...  

Someday, when I get to heaven I may just find out the answer to that...  But today, I have a special card to share featuring North Coast Creations' Thanks a Bunch stamp set and coordinating Monkey & Bananas Die set...  plus a few items from our sister company Our Daily Bread Designs'...
