Celebrating You

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is ponygirl2.  I chose this beautiful card from her gallery to recreate today using the 'Pottery' image and sentiment from 'Celebrating You', along with the following ODBD Custom Dies: Double Stitched Rounded Rectangles, Rounded Rectangles, Double Stitched Pennant Flags, and Pennant Flags.  The designer paper is from the ODBD Vintage Ephemera Paper Collection. After stamping the image in cocoa, I cut a mask in order to sponge the shadows below them.  My intentions were to make this card for a co-worker's birthday for next week, but it ended up looking more girly than masculine, so I may keep it in my birthday stash for later.

Happy Spring

Hi, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from the Rosenberry Rooms site.....I loved these colorful wall letters, such a fun decoration for a kid's room!  For my card, I have used partial sentiments from the 'Easter Greetings' stamp set, along with the ODBD Custom Letter H and ODBD Custom Letter S, ODBD Custom Double Stitched Pennant Flags Dies, ODBD Custom Pennant Flags Dies, ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies, and a colorful design from the ODBD Beautiful Blooms Paper Collection. The letters were double stacked and popped up with foam tape.  Brown pearls accented the designer paper. Due to the spring theme, I will also be submitting this to the Fan Club 'Spring Fever' Central Theme Challenge.

Glorify Him

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Carlene aka Chatterbox-1....congrats, Carlene!!  I cruised her entire gallery and finally picked this super cute card.  I used the following elements in my card for today: masculine theme, gears, linen thread, banners, and a wonderful message for the recipient.  The following items were used in the making of my card today:  ODBD God Verses 2, ODBD Custom Large Banners Dies, ODBD Custom Steampunk Gears Dies, and a pattern from the Artistic Outpost 'Vagabond Treasures' Paper Collection. The card base was cut out with the largest banner die using the Shaped Card Technique; the scripture panel was cut out by hand after tracing the inside of the die which was used for the mat.

Happy Birthday to Lisa at Our Daily Bread designs!!

Hi, everyone!  Today we are throwing a surprise birthday celebration for Lisa Somerville, who works behind the scenes to keep the ODBD machine running smoothly! Lisa is the un-sung hero who keeps our team organized, writes the posts and tutorials for the ODBD blog, Facebook, social media, adds new products each month to the ODBD store and gallery, and much, much more! We are so grateful for all that Lisa does for our team and for the entire company!  Thanks, Lisa!!!

In honor of Lisa on her birthday, Kelley has released (secretly, without Lisa knowing it) a special new Stamp/Die Duo set, called 'Friend to Friend'.  Check out all of the team projects here on the ODBD Blog.  Pssst......if you comment on the ODBD Blog on the birthday post for Lisa, you have a chance of winning one of five 'Friend to Friend' sets!!!

Along with the awesome 'Friend to Friend' set, here are all of the items featured in my two card samples for today:

My first card features the 'Friend to Friend' Stamp/Die Duo set, along with the ODBD Large Banners Dies and ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles.  The background was created by dabbing several colors of ink onto a craft sheet, spritzing with water (and glimmer mist), then 'mopping' up the ink with cardstock. Colorful sequins were added as simple embellishments.

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Denise aka Visa Visa....congrats, Denise!  I chose this super cute balloon card to recreate today.  My plan was to use the ODBD Custom Big Balloon Die, but it's buried somewhere on my messy desk!  Instead, I used the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Circles Dies, balloon end from the ODBD Custom Circle Ornaments Dies set, ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rectangles Dies for the framing, ODBD Americana Quilt Paper Collection, and sentiment from the 'All God's Blessings' Stamp/Die Duo set.

Global Handmade Hope Felt Alphabet Wall Hanging
Happy Saturday, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from the Global Handmade Hope site.....when I saw this adorable wall hanging, I knew I wanted to use these colors along with some of the new large alphabet dies from Our Daily Bread designs.  I started by creating a panel using the Ink, Spray, and Smash Technique with blackberry, lilac, and pink inks.  When the panel was dry, I used the following ODBD Custom Dies: Pierced Rectangles, Letter Y, Letter A, and Exclamation Point  along with a sentiment from 'Celebrating You'.
