ODBD ~ A Friend ~

 Good Friday morning!!  Thanks for taking a few moments out of your day to drop by.  Things are busy here.  I've spent several days this week on the road traveling with my job and as such haven't had as much time to craft.  :-(  I do want to share a card I created using some of the new releases at Our Daily Bread Designs.  If you haven't had a chance to check this new collection out, please do!  I love harbingers of spring and you know when flower stamps come out...  it MUST be on it's way!   

 

I started with a white card stock base (4.25 x 5.5) and added a distressed DP from ODBD's Blooming Garden Paper Collection.  I bet you didn't know that ODBD ventured into designer paper.  And the beauty of each collection...  they coordinate with the ODBD stamps I have!  Now that makes crafting SO easy! 

I then added a die cut using ODBD's Daisy Chain Background Die.  The layered Zinnia was colored with Copics and die cut using the Zinnia and Leaves Die.  You can also find the cute lady bug die on that same set!  I stamped my sentiment on white CS and used ODBD's Antique Labels and Border Die to frame it.  Now if those daffodils would just peek their pretty little yellow heads out...  ***sigh***

 

Here's a look at the products I used

 

Thanks again for stopping by!  Don't forget to visit in the coming days as I have a new release to share for North Coast Creations.  It promises to be fun!

Welcome!  It's time for another 

inspirational challenge at Word Art Wednesday.

A special thank you to the Flying Unicorn, My Creative Classroom and Docerela Stamps for graciously providing our prizes this week.

This week we travel to the Old Testament, specifically the book of Ecclesiastes...

For today's card, I chose to use an apple green color with white card stock.  I used a lovely daisy chain die on the bottom and added a few scattered pearls.  I printed the sentiment on white and matted it before placing it slightly askew on the panel.  A stamped and Copic colored die cut bee finishes it off!  I can't wait for spring!  How about you? 

Until next time...
 Blessings

FS370 ~ Let Friendship Bloom ~

Good morning!  Today's card is for the weekly Featured Stamper challenge at Splitcoast.  The Featured Stamper this week is Mynnette!  She has a wonderful gallery that you can admire HERE.  I chose one of the Floral Sentiment sets from North Coast Creations and went to work.

I stamped the image with Memento's Desert Sand on white card stock and added a rich sentiment with Espresso Truffle.  I die cut the image with a Spellbinder die found in the Office Supplies set and matted it with a distressed brown and vanilla DP.  I added both with dimensional foam to the white CS base and added a deep coffee colored ribbon!  So easy!  I love quick cards that I can add to my stash.  Thanks for reading and stopping by!

FS369 ~ Blue Hawaii ~

 

Happy Saturday!  It is a beautiful day here in the bluegrass state.  I took the opportunity to mop my floors, do some grocery shopping and clean my car!  And even though I am just a little tired, it was well worth it!  I hope this day finds you doing the things that matter to you.  

 

Today I am sharing a card I created to for the Featured Stamper challenge at Splitcoast.  I used a simple blue and white color scheme, embossing the focal mat with a "Hawaiian" themed embossing folder..."  Now, if I were only soaking up the sun on the beautiful beaches there...  **sigh**

I inked the sentiment in Memento's Danube Blue and framed the sentiment panel with some lovely blossoms from my stash.  The ladybug stamp may be found in this month's Our Daily Bread Designs release, Zinnia.  And the lovely scripture may be found in ODBD's Bee Happy set.  Aren't they yummy???

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Until next time...

 

Blessings!!!!

A Look Back at North Coast Creations' Latest Release

Today we are taking a look back at North Coast Creations' February Release!  Here is the card project I created using NCC's Floral Sentiments 4.  If you look closely you might even see some SEQUINS!  ;-)

 

Here's the set from NCC called Floral Sentiments 4

 



 

and some fun dies from Our Daily Bread Designs 

called Beautiful Borders...



 

This card certainly helped clean out my paper scrap stash!  I pulled out several patterns with various shades of purple.  I colored the image (with Copics) and used a scalloped die to help it pop.  A rich purple seam binding bow adorns the side.  And yes, you do see three lilac colored sequins in the top right hand corner!  I couldn't resist trying out the new trend!  Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to visit my fellow "Coasters" and share the love!  {{hugs}}

Welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs' March Release and Blog Hop!

Good morning!  Welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs'  March release!  I am SO excited to share this month's release with you!  If you are in the mood for spring (and who isn't????) this is the perfect release for you!  Flowers, sweet sentiments and bees, oh my! 

 

And to make browsing our design teams' projects even more special, three winners will be randomly chosen from the comments left on the designers' blogs.  The winners will receive a $25 gift certificate to the ODBD Store, to be used toward the purchase of Our Daily Bread Designs' stamps.  You have until March 2, 2014 at 9PM EST to make  your comments!  The winners will be posted on the ODBD Blog on March 3rd, so be sure to check the ODBD Blog to see if you are a winner! 

 

So on to the projects I have for you including one featuring a new background die, Daisy Chain...

 

I used gold for the card base with a layer of white and black.  I topped those with the new Daisy Chain Background die cut.  I stamped the sentiment on white and framed it with the honey jar and wand stamped by masking the two together.  Each were colored with Copics and then fussy cut.  I added a bit of dimensional glaze to the jar for added depth.  The bee (found on the Zinnia set) was die cut with the coordinating Zinnia and Leaves Die.  A little dab of glitter glue makes my little bee shine! 

 

And the products you see here...

And my second project, a gate fold card featuring an image from Zinnia and sentiment from Bee Happy on the outside (along with beautiful papers from ODBD's Blooming Garden Papers Collection...)

 

 

and an image with sentiment from Bee Happy on the inside...

 

 

The beautiful papers on this card are also from ODBD.  The outside has a few layers of die cut goodness including the new

Zinnia and Leaves Die for the sentiment matting and bee die plus a few oldies, like the Circle Ornaments Die (sentiment panel) and Fancy Foliage Die.  The base for this card is black card stock with kraft matting under all of the ODBD papers.  And I added glitter glue to this little bee's wings too!  :-)  

 

So here's a peek at the other items I used...
