Metallic Masculine Stars

Hi, everyone!!!  I was planning to make a birthday card for my nephew, using the 'Reach for the Stars' set and ODBD Custom 'Sparkling Stars' Dies from Our Daily Bread designs, so when I saw the Sketch Challenge at Splitcoast today, I just had to play along!!!  All of the metallic stars were cut out with the 'Sparkling Stars' Dies, the sentiment from 'Reach for the Stars' was copper embossed onto white, then sponged with gray.  The background is AWESOME new designer paper from Our Daily Bread designs, called the 'Winter Collection 2014'......each of the 12 designs appears to be metallic but are easy to photograph since they do not reflect light like shiny or metallic papers.......Michelle Laycock designed this paper pack......she is a genius!!!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hot Pink Sparkling Stars

Hi, everyone!!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Monika aka Monia......congrats, Monika!!!  She has one super amazing gallery....wow!!!!  It took a while to choose, but I finally went with this beautiful winter card so that I could play with my new ODBD Custom 'Sparkling Stars' Dies.  The 'sparkle' sentiment is from 'Christmas Pennant Row', stamped in hot pink then cut out with the ODBD Custom 'Pennant Row' Dies.  The bows were cut from the ODBD Custom 'Pennant Swag Die'.  The background was embossed with a star embossing folder, then several sizes of stars cut from the 'Sparkling Stars' die set were popped up with foam tape.  All of the edges were highlighted with Dazzling Diamonds glitter glue, plus the finished card was sprayed with Pearl Glimmer Mist.  This was very difficult to photograph.....metallic pink cardstock, glitter, plus Glimmer Mist.....quite the challenge!! :)

Here are the products featured in my post today:

My first sample features the new ODBD Custom Sparking Stars Dies with gold glitter paper, the ODBD Winter Collection Designer Paper pack, an embossed background with the ODBD Custom Vintage Flourish Pattern Dies, and a sentiment from "Reach for the Stars" which was heat embossed in gold on a banner cut from the ODBD Custom Pennants Dies. 

For my second sample, a quote from "Reach for the Stars" was heat embossed in copper onto the cardstock panel, then three of the ODBD Custom Sparkling Stars Dies were adhered with removable tape and cut out from the panel.  Using the same dies, I cut the stars out of the Rustic Beauty Designer Paper Collection, plus made a 5-layer button for a simple embellishment.  (Learn how to make your own 5-layer buttons here.) The four smallest stars were cut from the same paper and adhered onto the panel.   The top panel was popped up with foam tape to give dimension to the cut outs.....the designer paper stars were adhered to the card below.

Thanks for hanging out with us today!!!

Have a very blessed weekend!!

Thanksgiving Tree

Hello!!!  Today's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Annette Allen aka Clever Creations....congrats, Annette!!!  I chose this beautiful card to case because of the interesting layout with the designer paper corner design.  I have used the following sets by Our Daily Bread designs to make this Thanksgiving card:  'Autumn Tree' (image), 'Thank You' (scripture verse), 'Ornate Border Sentiments' (xoxoxo stamped into the tree), plus the Rustic Beauty Designer Paper Collection.  Thanksgiving will be here in a flash and I still have several cards to make!  I might use this layout again and switch up the colors and designer paper!!

Thanks for visiting with me today!

God bless!

Congrats to Julia!!

Hi, everyone!!  It's been a busy week with not much time for stamping, but I'm catching up today by playing along with the Featured Stamper Challenge over at Splitcoast.  This past week's artist is Crafty Julia......congrats, Julia!!  I chose this beautiful card to recreate since I loved the layout!!  Today's Inspiration Challenge is to choose a photo from Felix Doolittle's site.....I fell in love with the gorgeous colors of this calling card.  For my card, I used the Hydrangea single and a sentiment from Sentiments Collection 2, along with the ODBD Custom Beautiful Borders Dies, all by Our Daily Bread designs. The image was stamped onto a white panel, then I used the "out of the box" technique by using a ruler and exacto knife to cut across the panel just up to the image (on top and bottom), then cut the top and bottom of the image with scissors.  The outside edges of the panel were sponged in light blue and the image was watercolored with re-inkers and a paintbrush. After adhering the border die cuts, I sprayed Pearl Glimmer Mist then added liquid pearls to the flower centers.

Thanks for visiting with me!!

God bless!!

God is Good All The Time!

Hey, everyone!!! Eeek, I haven't stamped in over a week.....I was going through withdrawal!! I'm behind on my birthday list, so I had to get back into the groove, especially when I saw the Sketch Challenge at Splitcoast.  This is a birthday card for my nephew who loves the color red. I LOVE this sentiment....I may wear out this stamp!! Both the clock and sentiment are from 'God's Timing' from Our Daily Bread designs and the dies I used are from two coordinating sets, ODBD Custom Matting Circles Dies and ODBD Circle Ornaments Dies.

Before I go, just want to remind you that the Autumn and Thanksgiving stamps and dies from Our Daily Bread designs are on sale this week.....check out the details HERE!!

Sparkle! Triple Challenge Combo

Hi, everyone!  I have used several challenges in the making of this card.  This week's 500th Color Challenge at Splitcoast is to use one of four color combos.....I chose the winter combo.  Also, the Clean and Simple Challenge is to use piercing, so I couldn't pass that up!!!  Also, the ODBD Shining the Light "Anything Goes with ODBD Stamps" Challenge is still underway, so I will be linking up to that as well.

I have combined the new "Christmas Pennant Row" set (sparkle pennant), cut out with the ODBD Custom "Pennant Row" Dies, along with the "Warm Wishes" set.  When I first saw the "sparkle" sentiment, I immediately thought of using it with a snow scene.  After stamping and coloring the scene, I added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter glue and irridescent gemstones for some sparkle.

Thanks again for stopping by!!

Blessings,
