Our Daily Bread Designs "Quilts"


Hello everyone!

Today's card was made using Our Daily Bread Designs "Quilts" stamp set. 

After stamping and heat embossing the quilt image with Extra Fine Embossing Powder (Clear), I colored the image using Spectrum Noir.  I then used Our Daily Bread Designs Double Stitched Squares to cut out the image and several layers so that I could set them one inside another. 

I also used Bazzill's Diamond Paper, Gold Brads, and a little Grosgrain ribbon.  The sentiment (also from the "ODBD Quilts") is popped on a little dimensional adhesive.

For this second card, I used another sentiment from ODBD "Healing Prayers", the new ODBD "Filigree Frames" die set, and the ODBD "Vintage Flourish Pattern" die for the background. After die cutting the sentiment frame and the background, I left the paper in the die and then stenciled a little pink ink over the cut-out areas.  The Filigree Frame is set on dimensional adhesive and then I added ribbon to finish it off.  The blue papers are from the new ODBD Boho Bolds Paper Pad.

Our Daily Bread Designs Soulful Stitches Collection


Happy Tuesday everyone!

Today's card was created using the Our Daily Bread Designs "Soulful Stitches Collection" paper pack. This paper pack is full of soft colors and pretty images. 

I selected one of the papers that had this rocking chair on it, die cut it out using the ODBD Circles, then layered it up with more circles die cut with the ODBD Double Stitched Circles.  I then used the ODBD Double Stitched Rectangles for the base and added a sentiment from the ODBD Thank You Sentiments stamp set.  I also used some dimensional adhesive under the circles and the sentiment.  

You can barely see it, but I added a border along the bottom using a ODBD Beautiful Borders die.  
 I cut it from the same paper as the background because I just wanted a little extra detail, but it is hard to see in the photo.

Our Daily Bread Designs "Keys to Happiness" Gate Fold Card


Hello everyone!

I just wanted to share this gate-fold style card with you today. I created it using Our Daily Bread Designs "Keys to Happiness" stamp set, the ODBD Bitty Blossoms Dies, ODBD Lovely Leaves Dies, the ODBD Keys dies, and the ODBD Double Stitched Circles.  I used one of my favorite paper packs from Our Daily Bread Designs called "Rustic Beauty Collection."  


Our Daily Bread Designs Keys dies are so detailed and they have a key ring die included, so I just had to try to make a little key ring of these beauties.  I cut them from heavy card stock, inked them up with some bronze and gold, and then heat embossed the front and the back to make them 
shiny and sturdier. 


I placed a blank panel on the inside of the card so there is enough room to write a little note to the recipient of this card. 

Here are the products I used:

ODBD March New Releases "Key to Happiness" & "Superstar"



Hello everyone! I am so excited to be a guest design team member for
Our Daily Bread Designs this month. 

Our Daily Bread Designs is releasing two new stamp sets today! This first card above was made using the "Keys to Happiness" set.  There are five sentiments in this set and each one shares
a great little bit of wisdom.

The circles were cut using Our Daily Bread Design's "Double Stitched Circles" and "Circles" dies.  These two sets work great together for when you want to alternate a regular circle with a detailed, stitched one.

I also used ODBD's "Lovely Leaves" die set, the ODBD "Bitty Blossoms Dies" set, the ODBD "Keys" die, and the ODBD "Blushing Rose Collection" papers.   I did some inlay work in the squares using the "Bitty Blossoms" dies because they are the perfect size for this (less than one inch each.) 




This second card was made using the new ODBD "Superstar" stamp set.  I created the background by stamping the three different stars included in the set, die cut the panel with the "Double Stitched Rectangles" die and the star using "Double Stitched Stars", added some "Beautiful Borders", and used ODBD's "Pastel Paper Pack" papers for it all.

Prize Information:
Three randomly selected winners will each receive a $25 gift certificate to the ODBD Store just for commenting on the Design Team cards!
