A Look Back at ODBD's March Release

Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' March Release.  Here is the card I created for today using Sweeter Than Honey, Zinnia, Beautiful Borders Die (an older release), Zinnia and Leaves Die and the new Blooming Garden Paper Collection. 
 
 
Today's card incorporated a sketch along with two coordinating DP's from the new Blooming Gardens Paper Collection.  The card base is a warm yellow with a double layer of ecru and pink card stock.  A lacy die cut (Beautiful Borders Die) rests under the skewed panel with sentiment.  I colored the honey jar with Copics and after fussy cutting added a bit of pink and white Baker's twine.  The honey bees came from the Zinnia and Bee Happy sets.  The Zinnia set has a coordinating Zinnia and Leaves Die set which makes cutting the bee a breeze.  But to show the versatility, I opted to hand cut the one from the Bee Happy set.  A bit of dimensional foam and some glitter glue...  so FUN! 
 
Here's the ODBD products I used...
 




 
 

Thanks for spending a few moments of your day here!!

~ The Ends of the Earth ~

Welcome to my little corner of the world!  I hope this post finds you well.  Things have been busy around here as I prepare for the end of the work week.  
Today I have a simple card featuring a stamp and die set from Our Daily Bread Designs' March release along with a stamp from the new Anniversary Release. 
If you haven't had a chance to check them out please do.  The designer paper is also from an Our Daily Bread Designs product, the Blooming Garden Paper Collection.


I stamped the sentiment (Scripture Collection 12) directly on the DP.  The card base is white card stock with a double layer of moss green and sunflower yellow.  The zinnias (Zinnia stamp set) were stamped on Copic compatible paper and colored a soft yellow and pale lavender.  I staggered the images with dimensional foam and added die cut leaves (Zinnia and Leaves Die).
 
Here are the ODBD products I used...
 



 
Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Don't forget to pay a visit tomorrow as the Our Daily Bread Design Team will revisit the March release.  It promises to be a great day!
 
Blessings...

WAW124 ~ Psalm 17:15 ~

Welcome!  It's time for another 
inspirational challenge at Word Art Wednesday.  

Check out the Word Art Wednesday site for all of the details including this week's digital scripture image, how to link your creation AND info on our fabulous prizes! 
 
A special thank you to the Verses Rubber Stamps and Deedee's Digis for graciously providing our prizes this week.   And an extra shout out to Deedee's for providing a beautiful image for me to work with this week called Cup of Joy. 

And this week, I am blessed to share our scripture digi taken from the book of Psalms...


I chose to print my image (Deedee's Cup of Joy) and the scripture on white card stock.  I used a Spellbinder die (Gold Labels Four) to cut and emboss the panel.  My base is simple white card stock with a layer of lavender card stock.  I embossed another white panel with a chevron (Darice) EF from my stash before adding the sentiment panel.  Do you see the purple sponging?  I also added a lavender seam binding bow and a few pearls to the die cut.  So fun!  I love working with spring colors! 

Thanks for joining me this week!  Until next time...  blessings!

Happy 6th Anniversary Our Daily Bread Designs!

Good morning dear friends!  I have a very special celebration to share.  This month, Kelley and Rick Holland, celebrate 6 years of creating beautiful and inspirational stamps at Our Daily Bread Designs.  It is an honor to work for such a wonderful family and I am blessed to have made so many fabulous friends on this journey!  Happy Anniversary to Kelley, Rick and Our Daily Bread Designs!  Here's to many more to come!
 
Now you can't have an anniversary without a party!  So to celebrate we are having a blog hop!  Three winners will be randomly chosen from the comments left on the designers' blogs.  They will receive a $25 Gift Certificate to the ODBD store to be used toward the purchase of ODBD stamps.  ONE LUCKY commenter will be randomly chosen to win the 2014 ANNIVERSARY BUNDLE!!!!!  You have until March 18, 2014 at 9:00PM EDT to leave your comments!  The winners will be posted on the ODBD blog on March 19th.  Be sure to check there to see if you have won! 
 
Each year the team submits a quote, sentiment or scripture that speaks to our heart.  Kelley and crew go to work creating a stamp with the chosen words.  I selected a scripture from the book of Mark that comforts my heart when times are tough...
 

 
I used a couple of layers of pink card stock before adding some lovely designer paper from ODBD's Heart and Soul Collection.  Several layers of white and pink die cuts nestle under the sentiment panel.  A few mulberry roses garnish the side and if you look closely you will see a few pearls scattered around the corners.
 
 
 
 
For my second project I chose a lovely sentiment chosen by one of my team members from the book of Psalms and included in this lovely collection...

 

 
This time I chose a deep pink card stock to coordinate with designer papers from ODBD's Heart and Soul Collection.  Look closely and you will see the Quatrefoil Pattern Die and another classic image Grow in Grace.  I fussy cut bits of a second stamping of the dogwood image and glued them onto the first die cut.  It gives the illusion of the flower going off the page.
 
Here's a closer look.  See the Flower Soft centers? 
 
 
Here are some of the other products I used along with the Scripture Collection 12 set. 
 
 
GROW IN GRACE
