Rewind and Revisit Our Daily Bread Designs' October Release

Welcome!  Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' October Release!  Here is the card I created using Christmas Pennant Row stamp, Matting Circles Die and Peaceful Poinsettias Die.  I also used some old favorites...Pennant Row Die, Fancy Foliage Die and Circle Ornaments Die.

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

Here's my project...

I started with a stone colored card stock base and a white card stock mat.  I used the Matting Circles Die and Circle Ornaments Die to create my watch fob "window."  I stamped the sentiment (Christmas Pennant Row) in an evergreen shade on white paper and used the coordinating Pennant Row Die to cut it out.  I just love this new poinsettia created with the Peaceful Poinsettias Die.  The Fancy Foliage Die adds lovely greenery sprigs highlighted with holly found in the Circle Ornaments Die set.  I love Christmas projects, don't you? 

Here's the items you see!

~ We Miss You ~

Good morning!  Today, I have a card in honor of a member of our active military serving overseas.  It is so difficult for those who wait at home for their loved one to return.  It is just as hard for the person serving.  I would imagine it is a terrible feeling when you must miss important things like birthdays, anniversaries and holidays.  Some servicemen even miss the birth of their children!  Many men and women are forced to leave their children behind when they ship out.  It is that type of devotion and service to country that demands our continued prayers for them.  For without their sacrifice, we wouldn't be free.  I wanted to create something that would tell this person how much his family misses him and how blessed they feel to be serving at home.

 

I used the individual Alphabet stamps to create my word "bless" and added them to the bottom layer created with the banner stamp from the Patriotic Pennants stamp set.  I used the Patriotic Pennants set to stamp the stars and striped banner and the coordinating die shown below to cut them and the yellow ribbon.  I hope they enjoy sending it as much as I did creating it!

Hello and welcome to another work week!  That rolled around entirely TOO fast, didn't it???  Today I have a recycling charmer to share.  I decided to pull out some cardboard and incorporate it into my project.  A little shabby, office chic...  in honor of the first day back...

I started with a dark chocolate brown card base and added a leaf green mat.  I then cut a piece of cardboard (straight from an old box) and peeled the top layer off.  I wanted to reveal some of that cool corrugated texture inside...  I stamped my sentiment (the new Our Daily Bread Designs' set, Pennant Row in chocolate on white card stock and used the coordinating Pennant Row Die to cut it out and add a dark brown scalloped mat.  I used the Asters and Leaves Die to create my sunflower.  I cut two layers of petals in gold, glued them together and pooled a large center of Glossy Accents adhesive.  I then sprinkled brown flocking powder on to create the "seeds."  And because I can only imagine what that day will be like as Mercy Me so beautifully sings...  I added an amazing die cut cross using Ornamental Crosses Die.  I get chills thinking about it...  

 

Here are just a few of the items you see here today...

 

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Don't forget to stop back Thursday for our monthly look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' release.
