A Look Back at ODBD's November Release

Happy Friday!  Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' November Release.  It's hard to believe the month is nearly over!  Thanksgiving will be here soon and then Christmas!  In honor of our Savior's birth, I created a card using the Poinsettia Wreath  stamp and coordinating Poinsettia Wreath Die.

For more inspiration using the November Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog.

 

Here are the products I used today...

Poinsettia Wreath Die

 

And if you look closely you will find an older release,

the Quatrefoil Pattern Die

 

 

 

First I created my card base using a shaped die.  I then used my Quatrefoil Pattern Die to cut out another layer and used the shaped die to create a lattice layer.  If you look closely you will see I placed tiny adhesive pearls at the center of each quatrefoil.  I used the same shaped die that created the base (in two graduated sizes) to create a frame and added it with dimensional foam to the top.  I stamped the sentiment (black ink) on white card stock and used a label shaped die to create the sentiment panel.  I stamped the image on Copic compatible paper before coloring the greenery with a combo of YG17 and YG67.  I used R24 and R27 for the poinsettias and a mixture of G24 and Y17 for the centers.  After coloring, I used the coordinating die to cut out the image and added it (slightly above the top card edge) with dimensional foam.  I like how it elongates the card by placing it a bit off the page.  So what do you think?

CAS173 ~ Merry Christmas ~

It's Christmas in June!  I created my first Christmas card this week.  I promised myself I would not fall behind and have to mail out cookie cutter store cards this year!  To make the task less intimidating, I opted to do a clean and simple card for SplitCoast's weekly challenge.



I traced the chipboard "m" on DP and cut the paper letter out. I then glued it to the chipboard base and inked all the edges with distress ink. I altered my sentiment by masking off the letter "m" and some other embellishment with scotch tape before inking. I then removed the tape revealing the letter I needed to stamp. After stamping, I placed the chipboard letter where desired with dimensional foam. For interest, I drew a line around the edges. Thanks for stopping in! See ya soon!
