Our Daily Bread designs October New Release!

Hi, everyone! Welcome to the new release party for Our Daily Bread designs! To see all of the new stamps and dies, more designer samples, and prize info, check out this post!

Here are the new and previously released items featured in my projects today:

My first project is a diorama card.  I used to make these from scratch and it was very time consuming with all of the measuring and cutting.  Now, the ODBD Custom Diorama with Layers Dies set cuts all of the pieces perfectly plus gives instructions on how to assemble it.....woo hoo!!!! Once assembled, the diorama folds to fit into an A6 size envelope...pretty amazing!  I used burgundy cardstock to cut out the diorama frame, City Skyline border and Oval Die (mat) for the scripture verse. All of the white layers (Icicle Border, Snow Crystals, Curvy Slopes, and windows of the buildings) were cut out of Shimmery White cardstock....the camera did not reveal the shimmer unfortunately.  Both the snowflake paper, scripture panel and backdrop to the city scene were all from the ODBD Christmas Paper Collection 2015.  The scripture verse stamped onto the ODBD Custom Pierced Oval is from the 'Christmas Card Scriptures' set.  Tiny yellow gemstones were added to coordinate with the gold tones in the paper.

Two borders were cut with the ODBD Custom Icicle Border Die....one was adhered to the inside and one to the outside of the diorama.

Next up is a nameframe which I made for my niece's birthday, using the new ODBD Custom Cloud Borders Dies, ODBD Custom Neighborhood Border Die, ODBD Custom Large Letters Dies, and the tiny hearts from the ODBD Custom Clouds and Raindrops Dies set.  The gingham paper used for the letters and houses is from the ODBD Shabby Rose Paper Collection.  To create the hillside, the Neighborhood Border was cut from the same piece of green cardstock twice.  I just lined up the die with the first cut and used temporary tape to hold it in place for the 2nd cut.  The die was used twice with the gingham designer paper, then the little houses were trimmed by hand and glued on top of the green panel.  Since the trees were already green, I just highlighted them with markers.  I used the same resizing technique with the clouds border so that it would reach across the frame in one continuous panel.

Here is a matching birthday card to go with the framed gift.  I used the same ingredients as the frame, plus the ODBD Custom Large Numbers Dies, 'st' from the ODBD Custom Numbers Dies, and the HB sentiment from the ODBD Custom Happy Birthday Dies set.  Once the scene was adhered together, the panel was cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies.

Thanks so much for hanging out with us today!

Have a happy, blessed October!!

The Lord is Good - Name Frame Gift

Hi, everyone!  This week's Friday Free4All Challenge over at Splitcoast is to pay tribute to one of your neighboring states with your project.  I live in Indiana and my project today features the state of Kentucky in several ways: this nameframe is for my niece who lives in Kentucky, the grassy hills represent the hilly/mountainous regions, plus being in nature in the countryside is so spiritual, hence, the scripture verse. The following items from ODBD were used to create this frame: Scripture Collection 11, Butterfly and Bugs, ODBD Custom Dies: Butterfly and Bugs, Large Letters Dies, Fence Die, Grass Hill Die, Grass Lawn Die, Clouds and Raindrops, Pierced Circles, Circle Ornaments, Flower Box Fillers.  The letters were cut out three times each, once from the polka dot pattern from the ODBD 'Rustic Beauty' Paper Collection, once from white, and once from plum.

Thanks for visiting today!

Woodland Nameframe and Card

Hi, everyone! This week's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to find inspiration from the Society6 store.  I was looking for some help to make a nameframe and card with a woodland theme and this hilarious Vikings Metal Print was just the ticket! I was planning to use realistic animal stamps, but then went with 'Under the Stars' from Stampin Up.  The bear and raccoons were colored with sponges using masking then popped up with foam tape. The trees were stamped with an un-named Inkadinkado stamp.  The following items from Our Daily Bread designs were also used: ODBD Custom Grass Hill Die, ODBD Custom Alphabet Dies, ODBD Custom Pennants Dies (retired), and ODBD Custom Clouds and Raindrops Dies (template for sponging the clouds).  Generally I do not like to mix stamp companies, but with personalized gifts, I have to use what I have on hand.

Here is a closeup of the frame scene:

This is the matching card.  I used all of the same items as the frame, but added a sentiment from the 'Noah's Ark' set by Our Daily Bread designs and the panel was cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies.

Here are the new and previously released items featured in my projects for today:

My first project is a birthday card for my great niece who just turned one!  The scene was sponged with aqua first with a scratch paper mask to create the water, then the clouds were sponged over a template cut out with the ODBD Custom Clouds and Raindrops Dies. The flamingos and sentiment are from the 'Tickled Pink' set; the flamingos were cut out with the ODBD Custom 'Flamingos' Dies. The number one was cut out with the ODBD Custom Large Numbers Dies.  The sentiment was stamped once in black and again in hot pink then fussy cut and popped up over the sponged scene.  The polka dot frame was cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies out of the ODBD Boho Bolds Paper Collection.  A white satin bow was added in the corner.

The matching frame went with the birthday card, for Kynna's room.  The scene was sponged in the same manner as the card, then the flamingos from 'Tickled Pink' were popped with foam tape after being cut out with the ODBD Custom Flamingos Dies.  Here are the other items featured in this framed gift: ODBD Custom Frangipani Dies, ODBD Custom Hibiscus Dies, ODBD Custom Tropical Leaves Dies, ODBD Custom Fern Dies, and the ODBD Custom Alphabet Dies.

Pooh Bear Name-frame Gift and Card

Hi, everyone!  Today I would like to share a card and name-frame created back in November for a new little bundle of joy in our family, our new niece, Molly!  In order to match Molly's nursery, since I do not own any Pooh stamps, for both the card and nameframe, I fussy cut the Pooh characters out of some scrapbook paper.  For the card, I started by cutting out the pink panel with the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rectangles Dies, then cut out the circles with the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Circles Dies.  The sentiment is from the 'Pennant Flag Verses' set; the sentiment and mat, along with the pennants at the top were cut out with the ODBD Custom Pennant Flags Dies and ODBD Custom Double Stitched Pennant Flags Dies.  Peeking through the circle cut-outs is a panel which was stamped with the ODBD 'Gingham Background' stamp; the white mat at the bottom was cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies set.  The tiny hearts are from the ODBD Custom Umbrellas Dies set.

For the frame, Pooh scrapbook paper was used for the background and the fun image.  The following items from Our Daily Bread designs were also used:  ODBD Custom Double Stitched Pennants Flags Dies, ODBD Custom Pennant Flags Dies, ODBD Custom Alphabet Dies, ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies, ODBD Custom Clouds and Raindrops Dies (sponged clouds), ODBD Custom Grass Hill Die, ODBD Custom Fence Die, ODBD 'Little Girls' stamp set (sentiment).

Royal Birthday

Hi, everyone!  Today I would like to share a nameframe gift and matching card for my great-niece, who is turning two!!  The castle is from 'Special Girl', the scripture is from a retired ODBD set 'Childred of God', the fence across the bottom was cut out with the  ODBD Custom 'Gilded Gate' Dies, and the little hearts were cut with the ODBD Custom 'Umbrella' Dies (available April 1st) and added to the glittery chipboard letters.  After stamping the castle, I continued the cobblestone path to the gate by drawing it in by hand, then the scene was sponged using masking to protect the images. Ha, now it is clear to all that I am a stamper, not an artist! :)  I would have added some flowers to the fence, however, there was not enough room in the shallow frame....boo hoo!

Here is the matching card which also features the 'Special Girl' set, along with some new dies from Our Daily Bread designs (available April 1st).  The frame was cut out with the ODBD Custom 'Lacey Layered Squares' Dies and I used more of the tiny hearts cut out with the ODBD Custom 'Umbrella' Dies.  The card layout is based on this beautiful card from Lisa aka countrybeamer, who was named this week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast.....congrats, Lisa!!!

Thanks so much for visiting!!

God bless!
