A Look Back at ODBD's November Release

Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs'  November 1st Release.  For today's look back, I chose to use the new Born This Day stamp set, Lovely Leaves Die and Medium Bow Die.  For more inspiration using the November Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog.

 I started with a white card stock base and added a slightly smaller layer of gold CS and more white.  For my final layer, I pulled out two designer papers from ODBD's Winter Paper Collection and the Christmas Paper Collection 2015.  I used the Leafy Edged Borders Die to add a curved edge to my gold pattern paper before stamping the design with watermark ink on more gold CS.  After embossing with white EP, I trimmed and edged the corners before placing.  A few sprigs of greenery (Lovely Leaves Die) and poinsettia (Peaceful Poinsettias Die and Merry Mosaics Die) adorn the corner with one lone pearl nestled in the center.  I added a fun paper bow in the corner using the new Medium Bow Die.

So here are the new items you see...

and some old favorites...

 

 Please take a few moments to stop by and see what the other design team members have cooked up for you!  Thanks so much for visiting and I hope you have a blessed day!

ODBD ~ The Savior Reigns ~

And thank goodness He does!  Welcome!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  My husband and I did a bit of local sightseeing.  We visited a few craft stores and took in the beautiful fall foliage!  It is hard to believe that November is just around the corner.  And if I doubted it for a minute the deluge of garland, ornaments and wrapping paper at our weekend stops only reinforced that Christmas is around the bend.  This year, I have stashed a few cards away already...  so I don't get that glazed over eyes...  deer in the headlight look...  that often comes about the day after Thanksgiving.  Today, I pulled out a few old ODBD favorites plus the recent Christmas Carols stamp set release....

 I started with a white card stock base and added a slightly smaller mirrored silver poster board mat.  I used ODBD's Flourished Star Pattern Die to cut another white mat out and added a slightly smaller DP layer (found in ODBD's Winter Paper Collection.  I cut a die layer using the star die and then stamped my sentiment on with black ink.  A white poinsettia (from the Peaceful Poinsettias Die)

and foliage (from North Coast Creations' Flourished Vines Die) finish it off.

Here is the recent stamp recent stamp release I used today...

A Look Back at Our Daily Bread Designs' October Release

Good morning and welcome to a special look back at this month's Our Daily Bread Designs' October 1st release.  Here is the card I created using Christmas Tunes. For more inspiration using the October Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog. I started with a 5.25 x 5.25 rich red card stock base and layered it up.

I chose this sentiment from the new Christmas Tunes set and used the coordinating Vintage Labels Die to cut it out.  A bit of greenery and a lush poinsettia (Fancy Foliage and Peaceful Poinsettias Die) set off the corner.  If you look closely you can even see a couple of jingle bells in the mix!  I adhered two sheets of the new Christmas Paper Collection 2015 pages together and folded them back to create my pocket.  The Doily Die and Ornate Borders and Flowers Die accent it. 

So here are the items you see today...

and some old favorites...

Don't forget to stop by and visit my design team sisters to see what they have created!  Thanks as always for stopping in!

So here is my first project featuring the new Delightful Decorations stamp set, coordinating Delightful Decorations Die and new Christmas Collection 2015 paper pad. 

 I started with an ecru card stock base measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches and added a rich burgundy mat.  I trimmed the DP down slightly smaller and adhered it to the mat panel.  I stamped my ornament and greeting on ecru card stock before using the coordinating die to cut it out.  I added a Christmas spray to the corner using a few older favorites to create the branches, holly and poinsettia.  

Here are the new items you see...

 

 

 

But, wait!  I have another one to share using the Christmas Carols stamp set and more lovely paper from the Christmas Collection 2015... 

 

 

I started with a burgundy card stock base and added a layer of gold poster board.  I LOVE this snowflake print DP, don't you?  I added a gold doily mat with the burgundy doily die on top.  I stamped the sentiment on white card stock and lightly sponged it before removing from the die.  A white poinsettia and leaves adorn the corner...

~ I Am the Gate ~

Thank you for stopping by.  I must extend my deepest apologies for my absence this past week.  We had a double whammy in our household last week with the loss of a family member and my own struggle with illness.  I find myself with an odd mix of emotions, both sad and happy.  I am sad that my uncle is no longer with us, however, I am happy to know he is rejoicing in Heaven.  There are worse things then death my friends.  The project I have today has been languishing on my desk.  I created and photographed it well over a week ago but just haven't had the heart and/or resolve to post.  I think the scripture is quite fitting.  I feel certain my Uncle would love it!

And the products you see today...

Now on to my projects for the month...  The first features the new Nutcracker  image colored with copics and layered up!

I stamped the image on Copic compatible paper and colored the image similar to some real nutcrackers on found on the internet.  I opted for a Kraft card base (5.5 x 4.25) and matted my DP with black card stock.  I added a variety of distressed papers, including a book print, music notes and traditional Christmas print.  I added a few die cuts accents from our sister company, Our Daily Bread Designs.

Here's the single image, Nutcracker...

the sentiment from an earlier release, 

 Old Fashioned Santa

and ODBD products...

Fancy Foliage Die

Peaceful Poinsettias Die

And now on to the super fun Snow Angel Murphy,

 or as I loving call him "Saint Murphy..."

Here's the image you see...

and the sentiment from 
Old Fashioned Santa

I couldn't resist coloring Mr. Murphy like one of my beloved Saint Bernards!  I started with black and white card stock for my base and matting.  I then added a burlap and snowflake print DP.  The image (colored with Copics) takes center stage with just a bit of glitter glue around him for added effect.  This one certainly brings me love and joy!  

Now don't forget to stop by and comment at each designer's blog along the way!  And if you get turned around visit the NCC Blog to get back on track!
