Hi, everyone! The stamping marathon continues! This is day four of a week long stamping event for Fan Club members over at Splitcoast. After this event is over, I may have to take a couple of days off to give my aching bod a rest! :)
First up is a card which was created for the DTGD18ohmypaper! challenge. I love peachy and raspberry type colors together, so I combined a peach and two different pink nail polishes for the Nail Polish Marbling technique. Fill a plastic disposable container with 1/4 inch of water, slowly add drops of nail polish to the water. Use a stir stick to gently move the colors around, then lay your cardstock on top of the water to pick up the swirled colors. Remove it with tweezers and let it dry completely on a paper towel. Once the panel was dry, I used the Eclipse Technique with the ODBD Custom Hello Die. There are four layers of rose paper layered in the word die to give good dimension without using foam tape.
My next card was created for the DTGD18abbysmom2198 challenge. A strip of designer paper was still on my desk from the waterfall card from yesterday, so I decided to use it up for this card. The quote is from a retired set from ODBD, 'Apple Seed' and was stamped onto a panel cut with an apple die. The background panel was dry embossed with a large polka dot folder. Linen thread and three brown pearls were added as embellishments.
Next up is a card which was created for the DTGD18snietje challenge. The designer paper I picked out for this fancy fold is from the ODBD Shabby Rose Paper Collection, the scripture verse is from 'Love Scriptures' and the three words dies are from ODBD but are now retired. The three tiny hearts on each side were cut with the ODBD Custom Clouds and Raindrops Dies set.
My next card was created for the DTGD18Ashjoy challenge. I chose the 'Pansies' set from North Coast Creations. The image was stamped in Stazon Jet Black, water-colored, fussy cut, then popped up with foam tape over a panel cut with the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Ovals Dies.
My next card was created for the DTGD18margscardcrazy challenge. The cupcake was cut out with the ODBD Custom Cakes & Candle Dies set, the candle was cut out with the ODBD Custom Birthday Candles Dies and the circle panels were cut out with the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Circles and ODBD Custom Circles Dies. The sentiment is from 'Celebrating You'. After the cupcake was cut, sponged, assembled and then popped up, Stickles were added to the flame and the rest was painted with Pearl Glimmer Mist. Some sparkly red sequins were added just for fun.
My last card for this post was created for the DTGD18rainy challenge. I chose this cool underwater scene from the ODBD God's Beauty Coloring Pages plus a quote from 'The Sea' stamp set. The scene was both water-colored and colored with markers. Three tiny pearls were added for a finishing touch.
Thanks so much for visiting!

Hi, everyone! One of my younger brothers got married on Saturday and this is the card I made for him and his new bride! Their wedding colors were royal blue and lavender, so I used those colors for the card. The floral image panel is just one of ten designs (4 of each design) from the ODBD 'God's Beauty' Coloring Pages set. After water-coloring the flowers, the center of the coloring page was fussy-cut out to create an aperature. The panel was popped up with foam tape for dimension. The sentiment is from 'Wedding Blessings' and the royal blue panel was cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies.
Thanks for visiting with me today!

Hi, everyone! I have a confession.....I am totally addicted to American Ninja Warrior!!! Not only are the obstacle courses very challenging and the athletes are all amazing, but I love to hear each of the contestant's stories, plus the announcers make it even more fun! Why am I bringing this up, you ask? Recently Akbar Gbaja-Biamila (one of the announcers) wore the most beautiful blue suit with a yellow shirt under it. Each time the camera pointed at Akbar, I wanted to run to my stamp room to make a card!!!! When I saw the Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast, I knew that today was finally the day that the inspiration came to life! This week's Inspiration site is Lang by Calendars.....this gorgeous blue and yellow calendar jumped right out at me!! For my card, I chose one of the floral prints from the ODBD God's Beauty Coloring Pages, colored the flower centers with yellow then coated them with a clear glaze pen. The flowers were water-colored with Brilliant Blue ink. Once the leaves were colored with an Old Olive marker, the center of the coloring page was fussy-cut out and the panel was popped up on foam tape over a Barely Banana panel which was cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies. The word dies are from the ODBD Custom Inspiration Words Dies set and the tiny hearts are from the ODBD Custom Umbrellas Dies set. I will also be submitting this to the May Fan Club 'Mother May I?' Challenges since I will be saving this for my Mom's birthday....these colors will melt her as they did me!!
Thanks for stopping by today!

Hi, everyone! Welcome to the June New Release party for Our Daily Bread designs! This month Kelley has released more beautiful dies, stamps, and another collection of Coloring Pages!!! See the entire release HERE, instructions regarding prizes, plus some amazing samples from my designer sisters!
Here are the products featured in my two samples for today:
My first card features one of the floral patterns from God's Beauty Coloring Pages. The flowers were colored with light yellow and light pink markers; the center of the page was fussy-cut out and the edges trimmed off. The coloring page was popped up with foam tape over a vanilla panel which was cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies set. The bible verse is from Scripture Collection 3, which I chose to coordinate with the 'Believe' word die from the ODBD Custom Inspiration Words Dies set.
My next project is a fancy fold card which features the new 'Brother in Christ' stamp set, along with the following items: ODBD Custom Lever Card Dies, ODBD Custom Lever Card Layers Dies, ODBD Custom Sparkling Stars Dies, ODBD Custom Double Stitched Squares Dies, ODBD Custom Fence Die, and the Stars and Stripes Paper Collection. The image was stamped in Stazon Jet Black, then sponged with red and navy. This is the front of the card, closed and ready for an A2 envelope.
This is the open view of the lever card. The sentiment panel was sponged with the same inks to match the image panel and the same designer paper was used throughout.
Thanks for hanging out with us today!

Hi, everyone! This week's Color Challenge 689 over at Splitcoast is to use Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Cucumber, Berry Burst with bonus points for adding flowers. For my card, I chose to color a design from the ODBD 'God's Beauty Coloring Pages' collection. The turquoise background was water-colored and the images were colored with markers (please don't look too close...there are a lot of oopsies!) The triple-layered die cut word was cut out with the ODBD Custom Inspiration Words Dies; the coloring page and white mat were cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies. (Note: the coloring pages and word dies will be available June 1st.)
Thanks for stopping by today!
