Our Daily Bread designs Stamp Show Apron!

Hi, everyone!  Only three more days until the March New Release Blog Hop over at the Our Daily Bread designs Blog!  Today I have another sneak peek to share.....this features the "Apron and Tools" set, one of two new ODBD Exclusive Spellbinder die sets to be revealed.  As soon as I saw this adorable apron, I knew that I wanted to make an ODBD Stamp Show apron, like the one I will be wearing this weekend at the Indianapolis show.  I used the Our Daily Bread Designs stamp from the Seed Packet stamp set....too bad I didn't have a tiny lighthouse to stamp on there as well!

I cut out a shaped card with the Apron Die with black cardstock and the scissors from silver metallic.  The company name was stamped in White Stazon with a Stamp-a-ma-jig stamp positioner, then a white gel pen was used for the "stitching".  Some black eyelets were used to thread the ribbon through.  If you visit the ODBD booth at the Indy stamp show, you will be able to see this in person this weekend!!  Speaking of stamp shows, check out the show schedule HERE to see if ODBD is coming to your area!!

I will be submitting this for the ODBD Shining The Light Challenge, which is "Black and White (or cream)"......let's see your black and white creations!!!  I will also be submitting this to the "Twist of Faith" Card Challenge, which is stitching, faux or real.

Thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

Happy Spring!

Hi, everyone!!  Today's Clean and Simple Challenge over at Splitcoast is to choose a CAS card from the amazing gallery of Ceal Pritchett aka simplybeautiful.  I have been a fan of Ceal's work for many years and did not want to pass up the opportunity to case one of her cards......I fell in love with this beautiful one layer sympathy card.  I used the Pussy Willow image from the upcoming new set by Our Daily Bread designs, called "Happy Spring" (will be released on March 1st).

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a wonderfully blessed week!!

ODBD Sneak Peek - Strawberry Cake!

Hi, everyone!  Today I am sharing some new stamps by Our Daily Bread designs, which will be released on March 1st.  The background of my card was stamped with the new "Gingham Background" stamp and the "Cake Single" image was layered over the doily from "Birthday Blessings".

This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Andrea Hayes aka stampinandrea....congrats, Andrea!!  There were so many incredible cards in her gallery to re-create, but I decided on this cute square card with the gingham background and doodling.

Thanks for visiting with me today!

Blessings,

You Are Such A Blessing To Me

Hi, everyone!  Today's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast is to choose a pin from Designs by Lucinda as your inspiration.  I fell in love with this gorgeous Dream Flower Pin....one of my fave colors is amethyst and who doesn't like a bit of pearl and glitter too?!

This card was so easy and so fun....I will be making more like this, but with different images.....learning how to do CAS, clean and simple, has really taken some stress from me since my "normal" cards used to take several hours.

I stamped the "Daisy" image and sentiment from "Flourished Verses" (both from Our Daily Bread designs), colored the image with sponges and markers, sponged around the edges, added glitter pen to highlight the flowers, then added the ODBD Fence Die.  Easy Peasy!!! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a blessed weekend!!

Birthday Chalkboard

Happy Friday, everyone!!  This week's Queen For The Day over at Splitcoast is the wonderfully talented Carole aka ckbythesea!  Congrats, Carole!!  I chose this beautiful card from Carole's fabulous gallery.  This is a birthday card for a dear friend of mine....I hope she likes it!!

The stamp I have used for this is from one of the new chalkboard sets by Our Daily Bread designs, called "Chalkboard - Birthday and Thank You"...there are two stamps in this set.  I love that there are so many options with these chalkboard stamps....ink them in any color, emboss them, color the white sections, or go with the straight black and white......too fun!!

Thanks for stopping by for a visit!  Have a very blessed weekend!!

For my sample today, I am using a stamp from the NCC Crazy Critter line....Fishing Buford.....isn't he too cute?!

"Fishing Buford" was stamped onto white cardstock, colored with markers, the waders were paper-pieced using gray designer paper from Basic Grey, the image was fussy cut and popped up on foam tape over a simple scene which was sponged using scratch paper masking.  The sentiment was cut letter per letter from different words in the ODBD "Large Scrapbook Words" set.

Thanks for hopping along with us at North Coast Creations!
