Hi, everyone! Here is a sneak peek of the new "Hyacinth" set by Our Daily Bread designs, which will be included in the April New Releases. Don't forget.....the ODBD April New Release Blog Hop will start at 8 am EST tomorrow....and that's no April Fool's joke!! :)
The newly crowned Queen For The Day over at Splitcoast is Sharon aka smadson....congrats, Sharon!!!! I fell in love with the design of this gorgeous card and just had to case it (copy and share everything) in order to create a sympathy card for a friend.
The frame/image stamp from the "Hyacinth" set was stamped twice; one was cut out with the Spellbinders Labels 26 die set and the second I cut out the inside frame to pop up with foam tape. The designer paper is SEI from my scrap bin....I was too lazy to look up the name!
Thanks for visiting !!

Hi, everyone! I recently made my famous (buttery) Pineapple Upside Down Cake and just had to make a tag and recipe card to go with it with the new baking sets from Our Daily Bread designs! I chose coordinating colors so that the tag and recipe card would mimic the cake.
The tag was made with the "Baking Gift Tags Set", cut out with the "Recipe Card and Tags" Die set, then adhered to a wooden skewer which I cut in half with my wire cutters.
It is so easy and fun to create your own recipe cards with the baking sets from ODBD! I stamped the "Gingham Background" stamp with saffron ink onto cream cardstock first, then cut out the recipe card using the ODBD Exclusive Spellbinders "Recipe Card and Tags" die set. Using a Stamp-a-ma-jig stamp positioner, the "Recipe Card Lines", "Recipe Card Icons", and "Recipe Card Categories" were all stamped onto the card. The hard part was hand-writing the recipe! :)
Here is the front of the recipe card.....the entire recipe I will list below.....so easy and soooo good!!
***************************************************************************
Pineapple Upside Down Cake by Angella Crockett:
Ingredients:
1 "Butter Recipe" Yellow Cake Mix (Plus eggs required for cake mix.)
3 Sticks of Real Butter - 1 for cake mix, 2 for topping (I prefer salted butter.)
2 Lg Cans of Pineapple Slices (or one large and one small can.....if you want extra pineapple to eat while you are baking, use two large cans!)
Maraschino Cherries are optional.
Directions:
Mix 2 sticks melted butter with 1 cup brown sugar (or more) in a 9x13 baking dish. Drain juice from pineapple, but do not discard. Place pineapple rings in brown sugar/butter mixture; add cherries to center of pineapples. Place baking dish in the freezer. Prepare cake mix, using pineapple juice instead of water. Remove baking dish from freezer. (By freezing the butter/sugar mixture for a few minutes, it makes spreading the cake batter much easier.) Spread the batter evenly into the baking dish. Bake at 15 degrees less than the cake instructions suggest. Baking the cake will take longer than normal since it is much thicker. Use toothpick or cake tester to ensure that the cake is done in the middle. Note: the top of the cake will be brown by the time it is fully baked. After cooling for ten minutes, place cookie sheet over the dish and turn the cake upside down to reveal the pineapple goodness!! Allow to cool at least 30 minutes. Enjoy!!

Hi, everyone! I'm so excited to share a sneak peek with you of the upcoming April stamps by Our Daily Bread designs, which will be released on April 1st.
Three of the new sets this month were designed to fit the Spellbinders Labels 26 die set. I used Labels 26 to cut this shaped card, plus cut the two panels which were stamped with "Romantic Floral Designs". The sentiment is from the new "Morning Glory" set. The frames were stamped in navy blue and colored with pink....one of my fave color combos!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Stay tuned for more sneak peeks this week!!

Hi, everyone! Today I am enjoying a much needed "snow-day".....yes, a snow day....in the last week of March! I am a big chicken when it comes to driving to work in bad weather....I'm blessed to have a boss who understands! So.....since I'm not at work, I plan to stamp, stamp, stamp!!!
I used three challenges in the making of this card today. The Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is the wonderfully talented Jennifer Timko aka jentimko. I chose this beatufiul CAS card to re-create. The Clean and Simple Challenge today is to use a lined stamp only....no solid stamps, so I chose the Lilac stamp along with a sentiment from Be Joyful, both from Our Daily Bread designs. The Technique Lover's Challenge is to create a monochromatic project.
***Please note: before you look at the card and say, "Ewww....it doesn't match!", let me tell you that purple tones do not photograph well........in real life, the ribbon does match the rest of the card!! :)
Thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned for some sneak peeks of the upcoming April sets by Our Daily Bread designs!!!

Hi, everyone! My great-niece turns two today....this is her birthday card. I don't have many cutesie stamps for toddlers, so I opted for the Cupcake Plate, Gingham Background, and Baking Tag Sentiments from Our Daily Bread designs. I used the Inspiration Challenge for the colors and the Queen For The Day Challenge for the layout of the card. The IC is to choose an item from Madewell....I chose this beautiful purple dress with yellow and coral flowers. Val aka Greywolf is this week's Queen for the Day.....congrats, Val!!! I chose this beautiful card, though once I finished I realized that I should have had a rectangle behind my image....oops!

Hi, everyone! This is a birthday card I made for my Mom using the PussyWillow image from the new Happy Spring set and one of the verses from Bookmark Scriptures, both sets by Our Daily Bread designs. The vase was created by cutting out one of the 2010 Heirloom Spellbinder Ornament Dies from designer paper, then the top and bottom of the ornament were trimmed off. I saw this idea on Splitcoast Stampers quite a few times.....I don't know the stampers' names, but I thank them for such a clever idea!!

Hi, everyone! This was one of the quickest cards I've made in a while.....yay!!! I opened my drawer of trial and error scraps and die cuts, happened to see the Brocade piece and SB Floral Oval die cut next to each other, and I saw the CAS design in my head instantly! All I had to do was sponge the center, stamp the sentiment from the new "Sentiments Collection 2", add a few pink pearls at the top, a couple of sprays of Glimmer Mist and I was done!!
