Butterfly Blessings

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Tracie Clary aka taclary....congrats, Tracie!!  I chose this amazing card to case today due to the striking colors and clean layout. I used the same layout and color scheme, but instead of a stamp for the background, I used the ODBD Custom Flower Lattice Die.  The middle sized butterfly from the 'Trois Jolies Papillons' set was stamped in black, colored in aqua and yellow, then cut out with the ODBD Custom Tres Papillons' Dies and popped up with foam tape.  The sentiment is from the 'Sunday School Teacher' set and the white panel was cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies. 

Thanks for stopping by!

October Blessings Calendar Page

Hi, everyone!  Here is the next finished page of the birthday calendar I am working on.  The new ODBD Custom Stitched Leaves Dies were perfect to complete this page!  The leaves were cut out with various polka dot patterns from the ODBD Fall Favorites Paper Collection and the ODBD Christmas Coordinating 2015 Paper Collection.  Instead of stamping a sentiment, I used the ODBD Custom Blessings Border Die since it was the perfect size for the bottom of the calendar page! The tiny little accent leaves were cut from the same paper collections using the ODBD Custom Lovely Leaves Dies.

Thank you for visiting with me!

Upsy Daisy Thank You

Hi, everyone! This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Rochelle aka beechwood....congrats, Rochelle!!  Her gallery is full of amazing fancy folds, punch art, and super creative projects!  I have not used the Stampin Up 'Upsy Daisy' set in many years, so I chose this gorgeous card as inspiration today. Though my card is CAS, I used the same colors to sponge the background. The sentiment was masked so that only half of the sentiment stamped (the other half says 'for your friendship'). The panel was cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies and matted with olive.  This will be mailed to my in-laws since they bought us a new pc when they heard that my 'dinosaur' was crashing. :)

Thanks for visiting with me today!

Wild Rose Calendar Page

Hi, everyone! This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from the Victoria Trading Company....I chose this gorgeous lawn chair to help decorate the May page of a birthday calendar I am working on for a gift.  The wild roses from 'Fragrance' were stamped in Stazon Jet Black, then colored with sponges and markers.  Using masking, Ranger Antique Linen ink was sponged around the flowers as in the lawn chair. The sponging in the photo is not flattering but it looks okay in the real.

Here are the items used in my projects for today:

My first project is the September calendar page from a birthday calendar which I am working on....one page down, eleven more to go! :)  The sunflower image and sentiment from 'Be A Sunflower' were stamped in Stazon Jet Black, then colored using both masking/sponging and with markers.Please click on the photo for a larger view.

Next up is fun card I made with the following items:  ODBD Custom Rounded Rectangles Dies, ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rounded Rectangles Dies, ODBD Custom Stitched Leaves Dies, ODBD Custom Blessings Border Die, ODBD Custom Lovely Leaves Dies (tiny leaves), and a striped pattern (which I cut at an angle) from the ODBD Fall Favorites Paper Collection.

My last card is on the Clean and Simple side.  I started by cutting a shaped card with the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rounded Rectangles Dies.  The sunflower pattern paper from the ODBD Follow the Son Paper Collection was cut with the same die as the card base, but was 're-sized' to adjust the width.  The image from 'Be A Sunflower' was stamped, cut out with the ODBD Custom Sunflower Die, and popped up with foam tape.  An extra flower was stamped in order to cut out the center section and pop up for dimension.

Thanks for hanging out with us today!

You Are My Sunshine

Hi, everyone! This week's Inspiration Challenge is to find inspiration from Beau-Coup....I chose this Fall Leaf Candy Dish photo. I chose a pattern from the ODBD 'Follow The Son' Paper Collection to match the (table top?) in the inspiration photo, along with the 'Be a Sunflower' set which fit perfect with the colors of the dishes.  The image was cut out with the ODBD Custom Sunflower Die.  The card base and designer paper were both cut out with the ODBD Custom Rounded Rectangles Dies (the designer paper was cut using the Die Re-sizing Technique to alter the width.) Due to the wrinkles in the leaves, I will also submit this to the 'Wrinkle In Time' Fan Club Central Theme this month. (Please note: the stamps, dies, and paper for this card will be available October 1st at Our Daily Bread designs.)

Thanks for stopping by today!  Come back tomorrow for the ODBD October New Release party!!

This Land Was Made For You and Me!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Beverly aka ruby-heartedmom...congrats, Beverly!!  Wow, what an awesome gallery!!  I chose this cool card to recreate....instead of using color blocking, I used four star panels cut out with the ODBD Custom USA Flag Die.  The star frame was cut out using two dies from the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Stars Dies and the inset star was cut with the ODBD Custom Sparkling Stars Dies set.  The tiny silver stars and red strip borders were leftovers from another card made with the flag die.  The sentiment is from the 'Let Freedom Ring' set.  The red strips were mitered at the corners to create the frame.

Thanks for stopping by!
