Mid Month Bonus Die Release at Our Daily Bread Designs

There is a certain serendipity in the little surprises in life.  Like when the person in front of you at the fast food drive thru pays for your coffee or when a thoughtful motorist stops and lets you cross the parking lot.  It's the simple things that bring a smile to your face and thankfulness to your heart.  Today, Our Daily Bread Designs has pulled together a collection of dies as a special mid month release.  And I have a couple of projects to share featuring them.  

First a special Lily Die that coordinates with the lovely Beauty stamp set. 

I started with a card stock base measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches.  I cut a light mint DP for the base from ODBD's Pastel Paper Collection and used the Flourished Star Pattern Die with white card stock for the next layer.  ODBD's Double Stitched Rectangles Die set and polka dot DP from the Pastel Paper Collection create the final layer.  I added a sentiment layer and mat using the Stitched Ovals Die.  I chose my sentiment (stamped with Versafine Onyx Black) from ODBD's February stamp set, Many Thanks.  I stamped the image (ODBD's Beauty) on Copic compatible paper and after coloring used the NEW coordinating Lily Die to cut it out.  I added a bit of foliage (Fancy Foliage Die) along with a pearl flourish.  

So here is the new die...

which coordinates with this set...

And I used this February release for my sentiment...

And here is a fun tag I created using the new Lily Die and 

Tag Trio Die...

I used the Tag Trio Die to create a polka dot tag and added a white card stock frilly tag also created with this set.  I used ODBD's With Much Thanks stamp set for the sentiment and added another colored image (Beauty) to the bottom.  A bit of seam binding helps me tie it all together and adorn the gift.  

Here are the new items you see...

Merry Monday ~ A Flowerpot Card ~

Good morning!  Today, I have a flower pot card featuring some of the items from Our Daily Bread Designs.

I used ODBD's Flower Pot Card to create my card base, adding custom trimmed paper from the new Pastel Paper Pack and lace trim created with the Beautiful Borders Die set.  I lined the sentiment panel (which slides in the pot) with coordinating paper and stamped a lovely sentiment from the new Many Thanks stamp set.  I added a custom blossom created with ODBD's Pretty Posies Die.  I created all of these blossoms and leaves with white card stock and then colored the center of each blossom with a soft yellow distress die and the petals with a rich purple distress ink.  After each blossom dried, I spritzed it with water and then used a mouse pad, shaping tool and my fingers to shape and distress each blossom.  After they dried to the shape I wanted, I glued the desired layers together.  I have one larger blossom on the sentiment panel (which slides into the pot) and two smaller blossoms glued to the pot.  I added a few foliage sprigs from ODBD's Fancy Foliage Die.  I chose a simple sentiment from the Many Thanks stamp set and stamped it on the bottom corner.  A couple of DP scraps and this cute Easter Eggs Die helped create this two layer egg adorning the other corner.  

Here is the card with the sentiment panel removed...

So here are the new items you see from this month's release...

Release Day at Our Daily Bread Designs

Good morning and welcome to release day at Our Daily Bread Designs!  We have some fabulous stamps and dies to share this month, including some that coordinate with old favs!  And check out the end of today's post for information on how you can play along for a chance at an ODBD gift certificate!  First I have a few cards to share beginning with this project featuring a new stamp, two fabulous paper pads AND a fun die coordinating with an Easter stamp classic...

I started with a white card stock base and a bit of mint green DP from ODBD's Pastel Paper Pack.  A mix of patterns from ODBD's Easter Card Paper Collection are joined with a border die.  I stamped the cute lamb image on Copic compatible paper and colored him up before using the new Little Lamb Die to cut him out.  I stamped the Flourished Happy Easter sentiment with a soft lavender ink before using a few of ODBD's oval dies to cut and frame it.  A medium die cut bow created with fun polka dotted paper from ODBD's Pastel Paper Pack adds a fun touch.

So here are the new items you see...

and some old favorites...

Isn't he cute????

 Aren't those new pastel papers yummy?  Here is another project featuring some lovely plaids, patterns and polka dots AND a lovely tag...

 

I started with a soft pink card stock base and added a bit of plaid and floral DP.  For interest, I separated the layers with an edged die.  I stamped the sentiment on vellum (Many Thanks) and highlighted it with white embossing powder.  I cut the panel out with a rectangular die before nesting it over this amazing die cut egg created with the new Boho Egg Die.   A custom paper flower and leaves adorns the corner.  And the tag?  That little gem can be found in the new Easter Card Paper Collection.

So here are the new items you see...
