Woodland Serenity

Hi, everyone!  This week's Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoast is to use wooden images, embossing folders, stencils, etc.  For my quick card, I chose to combine the 'Wood Background' and 'Seek Me' stamp set, along with the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rectangles Dies.  The Wood Background was inked in Crumb Cake, spritzed with water, then stamped onto white cardstock.  The trees from 'Seek Me' were inked in Mossy Meadow and over-stamped onto the wood image. Three faux brads were punched out and added to the corner.

Thanks for visiting today!

Our Daily Bread Designs December New Releases

Hi, everyone!  Another month has flown by and it's time for another new release from Our Daily Bread designs!  Check out all of the new stamps and die sets HERE, along with more samples and details on how to win some goodies!

Here are the ODBD products featured in my two projects for today:

My first card is a flip fold design.  The card base was cut out of chocolate cardstock using the ODBD Custom Vintage Labels Flip Fold with Layers Dies; the extra layers were cut out with hunter green and white using the ODBD Custom Double Pierced Vintage Labels Dies and coordinating ODBD Custom Vintage Labels Dies.  The designer paper layers are from the ODBD Christmas Paper Collection 2017.  The stamps used are from the new 'Seek Me' set and the die cut accents were cut with the ODBD Custom Pinecones Dies. The first photo shows the front of the card when it is closed.

This is the open view which shows another scene and scripture on the back of the flip panel.

My next card also features the 'Seek Me' stamp set, ODBD Custom Double Pierced Vintage Labels Dies, and ODBD Custom Vintage Labels Dies.  Both tree stamps from 'Seek Me' were used to create this scene, with the same ink, but stamped off for lighter shades.  The 'Wood Background' was inked in moss green, stamped onto the card base, then spritzed with water and stamped onto a piece of recycled cardboard.  The stamped cardboard layer was cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies.  Linen thread and trees and the buck cut from the ODBD Custom Trees and Deer Dies were added as finishing touches.

Thanks for hanging out with us today!

God bless!

You Are Awesome!

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Michele Wright aka The Cow Whisperer....congrats, Michele!  I chose this awesome card to case using this week's Color Challenge.  Instead of a marbled stamp, I created a background with alcohol inks then chose a die cut sentiment instead of images.  Since I didn't have any of the new Stampin Up colors, I chose 'Stream', 'Butterscotch', and gold alcohol inks to create a marbled background on Yupo paper. Once the panel was finished, it was cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies.  The sentiments are from the 'You Bless Me So' Stamp/Die Duos; the 'You' was cut from black and the sentiment was stamped onto gold metallic cardstock.  Since I don't have Nuovo drops or enamel dots for dessert for the Color Challenge, I cut five tiny gold stars with the ODBD Custom Sparkling Stars Dies.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Marbled Hello

Hi, everyone!  This week's Inspiration Challenge site over at Splitcoast is Caspari.....I chose these marbled napkins as inspiration.  For my card, the marbled background was created by blending alcohol inks onto a Yupo paper panel which was cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies. The ODBD Custom 'Hello' Die was cut from the panel and twice from brown cardstock for layers to create the Eclipse technique.  Pearl sequins were added for simple embellishments.  This card will go into my birthday card stash.

Love and Hugs with Alcohol Inks

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Crystal Komara aka crykomara.....congrats, Crystal!!!  Crystal had several awesome cards in her gallery on which she used alcohol inks.....I chose this awesome design to case today so that I could practice with my alcohol inks.  I also loved the clever layout with the vellum circle and die cuts.  For my card, I began by adding pink, purple, teal, pearl, and gold alcohol inks to Yupo paper, blended them with the mixative, cut the panel with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies, added the vellum circle which was cut with the ODBD Custom Pierced Circles Dies, trimmed the edge, then matted the panel in eggplant. Gold metallic cardstock was used to die cut the larger rectangle, the butterfly from the ODBD Custom Bitty Butterflies Dies, and the 'hugs' from the ODBD 'Hugs' Stamp/Die Duos set.  Gold heart sequins were added to coordinate with the other gold touches.

Faithfulness, Mercy, and Love

Hi, everyone!  I pray that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday...I sure did!  Today I would like to share a quick card which I mailed out earlier this week to a dear friend.  The leaf image, sentiment and script background are all from 'Randi's Song' by Our Daily Bread designs, stamped onto an ivory panel which was cut out with the ODBD Custom Pierced Rectangles Dies.  To get the different color variations, I used the "stamping off" technique with Cajun Craze, More Mustard, and Rich Razzleberry inks.  The script stamp was inked in Crumb Cake, stamped off, then stamped to fill in between the color blocks.  The ribbon and card base are Rich Razzleberry.
