A Look Back at Our Daily Bread Designs' December Release

  Happy Friday!  Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' December release.  If you haven't picked up a gift for the stamper on your list and/or someone needs to pick up something for you...  look no further!  These sets are designed to work together to create beautiful cards for all occasions!  And speaking of occasions...  it's hard to believe the month is nearly over!  Today's card will go to a dear friend who is struggling.  She needs a bit of encouragement and I pray this will do the trick!

 

 

and some of the products I used...

 

Ornate Borders and Flowers

 

coordinating

 Ornate Borders and Flower Die

 

 No Words

 

and  Fancy Foliage Die

 



 

Now for the layers....  I used a Spellbinder die and embossing folder to create my card base.  I cut 4 dies from the Ornate Borders and Flower set, split them in half and layered them under another fancy die (in white card stock).  I stamped the border image in a soft green and the sentiment in black before using the coordinating die to cut and emboss it.  I garnished the top with mulberry roses and white vines from the foliage die along with greenery from that same set.

I am having so much fun working with this month's Our Daily Bread Designs' release!  (Ok, I have fun EVERY month working with the new stamps!)  My husband swears the smell of new stamps is intoxicating for me!  ;-) 

 

Here's a decidedly frilly project using some new papers in my stash and a whole lotta dies, frills and glue!  It has so many components it reminds me of my Mom's Jam Cake recipe she pulls out every Christmas!  Those cakes are a whole lotta work but boy do they taste FABULOUS! 

 

So here it is, completely calorie free and in honor of my baking analogy...  there's a real honest to goodness doily tucked in there!

 

and the ODBD products I used...

Blessings...

Welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs' December Release

Welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs' December New Release Hop! 

This month we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  His life given for us, was the most precious gift ever given!  This month, we are sharing some lovely sets that help you express your thanks, uplift a friend or just remind someone you are thinking of them!  Sentiment sets are so handy!  And when you have a coordinating set that includes everything from a background to dies...  well...  it's FABULOUS!

AND you have a chance to get your hands on these or other ODBD stamps of your choosing!  How, you ask?  Three winners will be randomly chosen from the comments left on the designers' blogs to receive a $25 Gift Certificate to the ODBD Store, to be used toward the purchase of ODBD Stamps.  You have until December 2, 2013 at 9:00 p.m. EST to make your comments!  The winners will be posted on the  ODBD Blog on December 3rd, so be sure to check back there to see if you won!

So would you like to take a peek at these new sets? 

Here's one using Ornate Frame Sentiments, Ornate Borders and Flowers plus the coordinating Ornate Borders & Flower Die...

 and here are what the complete sets look like...

 

I stamped the Ornate Border image with a Danube blue ink on white card stock.  I used the coordinating die to cut out the image.  I scored a second piece and used the die to cut out a coordinating hinged back.  (Make sure your die is above the fold so you have a hinge to glue your focal image on.)  I stamped the top sentiment layer (with smaller ornate border stamp) and used the die to cut it out as well.  I split the blue die cut in two and added the halves to the bottom for interest.  A couple of blue rhinestone finish it off!  I just love it!   

Now this one uses the Ornate Background stamp, Ornate Borders and Flowers along with the No Words set.  The Ornate Borders & Flower Die ties it all together. 

 

and here are the ones I added into the mix...

 

I scored the white card base with a triangular pattern and stamped the ornate pattern (light gray) on white card stock.  I used a gray CS to mat it before positioning it with dimensional foam.  I added my own rosette (created by scoring a 12 inch piece of gray card stock at 1/4 inch intervals).  I used the Ornate Border stamp to create my sentiment panel (plus coordinating die) and added the sentiment in black (No Words set).  A few strategically placed pearls finish it off! 

So what do you think?  Didn't I tell you these sets would help fill out your stamping needs?  Now, don't forget to stop and share the love with the other "Sticks" for chance to win!  Thanks for stopping by!  {{hugs}}
