Our Daily Bread designs January New Releases!

Happy New Year, everyone!!!  Our Daily Bread designs is ringing in the new year just right, with some amazing new stamps, dies, and one of the most gorgeous paper collections yet!!!  You can see the entire new line-up HERE on the ODBD Blog, along with samples from my designer sisters and info on how to win new goodies! (Please note: prize information will be shared on ODBD's Social Media instead of on the blog.)

Here are the new items featured in my two cards for today:

For my first sample, the pistachio card base was cut out with the new ODBD Custom Center Step A2 Card Die; the beautiful pattern from the 'Romantic Roses' Paper Collection was cut out with the ODBD Custom Center Step Card A2 Layers Dies.  The peony and leaves from the 'Hello Friend' Stamp/Die Duo set were stamped, colored, cut with the custom dies, then popped up with foam tape.  The sentiments from the same set were stamped directly onto the designer paper.  Clear gems were added for embellishments.

My second card was created with the 'In My Heart' Stamp/Die Duo set.  The hydrangea was stamped multiple times onto the A2 card base, using masking.  The blossoms were water-colored, the leaves colored with markers and pale yellow was sponged around the flowers.  Another hydrangea was stamped, cut out with the custom die and popped up with foam tape next to the scripture verse.  Liquid pearls were added to the flower centers and a few yellow sequins were added.

Thanks for visiting today!

Blessings,

ODBD Sneak Peek January Relase

Hi, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from the World Market site......when I saw this bottle of rose green tea,the pattern on the label reminded me of this wood grain designer paper from the 'Romantic Roses' Paper Collection from ODBD.  I have also used the following items for my card today:  'Hello Friend' Stamp/Die Duo, ODBD Custom Center Step A2 Card Die, ODBD Custom Center Step A2 Card Layers Dies, ODBD Custom Decorative Vase Die, ODBD Custom Pierced Ovals Dies, and the ODBD Custom Ovals Dies. Baker's twine and sequins were added for embellishments. (Products will be available on January 1.)

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have a blessed weekend!

ODBD May New Release Blog Hop!

Hi, everyone!  Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs May New Release Blog Hop!!!!  

If you have hopped here from Chris Olsen's fabulous blog, you are in the right place.  If not, please head over to the ODBD Blog and start from the beginning.....we sure don't want you to miss a thing!  Hop from blog to blog, leave a comment, then return to the ODBD Blog and let us know that you have finished.  You have until Thursday, May 2nd at 8 pm EDT to complete the hop.  There will be three prizes awarded, a $20, a $30, and a $40 gift certificate to the ODBD Store.....yay!!!  (Gift certificates must be redeemed during the month of May.)  Winners will be announced on the ODBD Blog on May 3rd.

For my project today, I have used the Cathedral Window - Marble stamp and the ODBD Exclusive Spellbinders Cathedral Window And Border Dies set.  The window stamp was stamped multiple times in versamark on white cardstock, then embossed with clear embossing powder, then colored with a sponge dauber in pink and accented with a pink marker.  Four window frames total were cut out with the custom die set, two of which were hand trimmed for the side of the Center-step design, the other two make up the "door". (I had to cut two separate frames so that the swinging door had a frame top edge and the top arched piece also had a framed edge at the bottom.)    The sentiment at the bottom, plus the stamped frame are from the "Mini Tags 1' set.  For the finishing touches, Zva Creative pearls and roses were added, along with some Cheery Lynn Designs 'Fanciful Flourish' small and large and satin ribbon.  To learn how to create a center-step design, check out the tutorial HERE on the ODBD Blog.

(For those of you wondering, the photo is my own wedding photo from twenty-one years ago! Oh, to be so young and HOT again! lol!!!!)

On the back of my center-step card is the new "Butterfly Mini" stamp.....one of many new "Stamped By.." stamps.....yay!!!!  The Antique Labels and Border Die Set was perfect to show off my new stamp, but I forgot to leave room at the bottom for my name.....oops!!!!  :)

Below are "The Waves on the Sea" and the "Fishing Net" Background, also released today, plus a card which I shared earlier for a sneak peek.  I LOVE having more sets available for masculine cards.....these are perfect!!
