~ Oh, Holy Night ~

Today's post will be very short.  I do have a card to share.  The last few days I have found my mind elsewhere...  I am sure your thoughts and prayers are like mine...  focused on those in the path of Hurricane Matthew.  We have friends and family located on the coasts of Florida and North Carolina.  I can't imagine what these folks are going through.  I do know that our heavenly Father is our anchor during life's storms.  I pray he places His arms around all of those in the path of this terrible storm. 

And today's card featuring the new ODBD dies, 

Holy Night Die and Noel Border Die...

Word Art Wednesday 250 & 251

Good morning and welcome to a new bi-weekly challenge at Word Art Wednesday!  This week we have a wonderful digital image featuring scripture from Psalms.  To find the digi scripture featured and details of how you can play along in the #250-#251 challenge pop over to Word Art Wednesday for all the details.  But before you check it out, take a moment to look at the card I created using this week's featured digi!

I started with a white card stock base measuring 4.25 by 11 inches, folded and scored at 5.5 inches.  I cut a slightly smaller DP panel using The Paper Studio's The Shoppe on the Square Paper Pad.  I added a die cut overlay (Spellbinders' Grateful Lattice) in white CS using dimensional foam.  I used Our Daily Bread Designs' Pierced Rectangles Die to create a frame and their Small Bow Die for my vellum panel.  I printed the sentiment on vellum with my inkjet printer.  I chose the specialty paper function when printing and used a heat gun to insure the ink was set.  ODBD's Pierced Rectangles cut and framed the sentiment.  I just love the soft look of vellum, don't you?  Don't forget to hop over to the WAW site to play along and see what the other designers have created!  

Blessings...

ODBD ~ Sweet and Smiling

Unfortunately, I love sweets!  If I could have a steak or a piece of cake...  I will choose cake!  Cookies, tarts, pie...  they all old their own allure.  But when I need to limit my caloric intake...  a cupcake is my go to treat.  There is something about that combo of icing and cake in a limited amount that satisfies the sweet craving.  So this time, I used the Beverage Cup Die to create my faux cupcake.  It even has sprinkles!  

So here are a few of the items you see including a fun sentiment from the September release, Seasons Change...

and the Beverage Cup Die...

Plus a few old favorites...

Thanks for stopping by!  Please join me tomorrow for the Wednesday Word Art Challenge.  Plus later this week on October 1st, I have a few wonderful projects to share with new ODBD products.

Blessings

~ Give Thanks, A Double Display Card ~

Today, I have a double display card to share using a pre-made card base from Our Daily Bread Designs' Fun & Fancy Folds Collection.  I also had the chance to use a couple of products from the September release including the A-MAIZE-ING stamp set and coordinating Indian Corn Die. 

I started by measuring each section of my card to cut my Kraft CS base and designer papers.  I chose a polka dotted design from ODBD's Ephemera Essentials Paper Pad and a fun print from ODBD's Vintage Ephemera Paper Collection.  I stamped the image (from the A-MAIZE-ING stamp set) on Copic compatible paper and after coloring, die cut it using the coordinating Indian Corn Die.  I created an oval die cut Kraft base using ODBD's Pierced Ovals Die and added my image with dimensional foam.  I stamped the sentiment with a rich dark ink on Kraft and cut one with ODBD's Stitched Circles Die and created a banner with the other.  I adhered both to the front so they will show when closed but still remain a part of the design when opened (as shown.)  

So here are the new items you see...

  

and a few old favorites...

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day!

A Look Back at Our Daily Bread Designs' September Release

Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' September Release.  Here is the card I created using Seasons Change stamp set and coordinating Wheelbarrow Die.  I also incorporated the new Grass Hill Die and Grass Lawn Die.  For more inspiration using the September Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog along with my design team sisters.  

I started with a white card stock base measuring 5.5 x 8.5 inches, scored and folded at 4.25 inches.  I cute a slightly smaller grass green card stock mat and added another mat created with ODBD's Rustic Beauty Paper Collection.  I added layers of green card stock grass using the new Grass Hill Die and Grass Lawn Die.  I used ODBD's Fence Die along with white card stock to tuck in a bit of "fencing."  I stamped the image (from the new Seasons Change stamp set) with black Copic compatible ink on Neenah Solar Crest CS.  I colored the image with Copics (see listing later in the post...) and die cut it with the coordinating Wheelbarrow Die.  I stamped the sentiment on card stock and used ODBD's Ovals Die and Stitched Ovals Die for my layers.  

So here are the new items you see...

and a few old favorites...
