Our Daily Bread Designs The Good Seed

Hello everyone!

Today's card has been made using Our Daily Bread Designs The Good Seed rubber stamp set and ODBD's "Blooming Garden" paper pack. It is really starting to feel like Spring and this flower pot with tools in it motivates me to get outside and do some gardening. 

After stamping and heat embossing the image I colored it with Spectrum Noir. I then used Our Daily Bread Designs Double Stitched Circles to cut it out and add some layers. I used a Tri-Fold Shutter Card pattern I found on line just so I could have some extra fun with these garden papers. 

I used ODBD's Bitty Blossoms and Lovely Leaves Dies to cut a couple flowers and then added a little blank square for a pick-me-up message for a friend.

Our Daily Bread Designs April 2016 New Releases- Quilts!

Hello everyone!

Today's cards have been created using Our Daily Bread Designs newest
goodies for April and they all are quilt themed!!! 

This first card was made using the new ODBD Star Quilt Stamp and ODBD Quilted With Love Stamp Set.   I also used the ODBD Small Bow Die, ODBD Beautiful Borders Die, ODBD Double Stitched Squares Die  and ODBD Squares Die .  This beautiful paper is from the
ODBD Cozy Quilt Collection. 

To make the little lace around the square I took one of the Beautiful Border dies and cut it down to fit. I added little die cut hearts to the corners where the pieces met up.   I stamped the quilt in "Rhubarb Stalk" Memento Ink (it is a reddish color) and colored it up with Spectrum Noir.

You can find the ODBD Blog here for more information:

This second card was made using ODBD Log Cabin Quilt Die, the ODBD Quilted With Love Stamp Set and the ODBD Americana Quilt Collection.

I die cut three of the Americana Quilt papers and then die cut a forth one from Bazzill Diamond card stock for the frame. I used a few pieces from each of the Americana Quilt papers to make a little pattern (and all the extra pieces are being used to make more quilts for cards.)

To put the quilt together I covered a piece of regular white card stock with ATG and then put the frame down first. I was then able to lay in all of the other pieces right onto the
sticky ATG inside the frame. 

I also used the ODBD Beautiful Borders Die, ODBD Ornate Hearts Die (for the little heart), and the ODBD Double Stitched Rectangles.

Looking Back at the ODBD March New Releases "Keys To Happiness" & "Superstar"

Hello everyone! 

Today we are taking a little look back at Our Daily Bread Designs March New Releases items. For more inspiration for the March releases be sure to visit the ODBD Blog:

ODBD Blog

This card was made using the ODBD Keys To Happiness stamp set and one of the ODBD Keys dies. 

I also used one of the ODBD Leafy Edged Borders to make the layers look like ruffles. I die cut each one using papers from ODBD's Pastel Paper pack and the Easter Card Collection paper pack. 

To make the key a little sturdier, I die-cut it in heavy card stock, stamped with Gold ink and heat embossed with extra fine embossing powder. 

This second card was made with the ODBD 

Superstar stamp set.

 I created this one by stamping the large and small stars multiple times to make a background. I heat embossed each one with Extra Fine Embossing Powder after stamping because I love it when stamped images have a little shine to them. I also used a ODBD Double Stitched Stars Die to cut out one more star and popped it up with a little dimensional adhesive on the center star (kind of hard to see from this angle though.)  I used one of the dies from ODBD Leafy Edged Border Die to make the thin red and blue border pieces running down the side of the star panel and then added the sentiment.

ODBD Healing Prayers & Old Glory Paper

Hello everyone!

For today's card, I used the new Our Daily Bread Designs "Healing Prayers" stamp set,  the newly released ODBD "Old Glory" Paper Pack and ODBD's Circles & ODBD's Double Stitched Circles. These two sets work great together when you want to layer up some circles. 

I wanted to try to make a card that could be sent to anyone and using the Old Glory papers and the simpleness of the Double Stitched Circle Dies made it easy.

Our Daily Bread Designs "Keys to Happiness" & Door

Hello everyone!

Today I wanted to share another card made using a sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs "Keys to Happiness" stamp set that was just released March 1st.  The sentiments in this set all have something to do with doors or keys and I wanted to pair one with an ODBD Door stamp. 

I used ODBD Blushing Rose Collection papers and die cut the little flowers using ODBD Bitty Blossoms dies.  I layered the flowers on a floral vine cut using the ODBD "Foliage & Leaves" die.  The square was cut using ODBD Double Stitched Squares die. 

I colored the door using Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers (I love how easily they blend), added a few pearls in the flowers, and finished it off with a little satin ribbon. 

Thank you for stopping by!

ODBD SLC #272 Scripture & Lace

Hello everyone!

Today's card is for Our Daily Bread Designs Shining The Light Challenge #272 asking 

for "Scripture & Lace."  Here is a link to the challenge:

ODBD SLC #272

I decided on a sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs Porch Stamp Set and the lace was created using ODBD Beautiful Borders. The background paper is from ODBD Blushing Rose Collection and there is even a little lace printed on this paper (however it got a little covered when I decided I wanted flowers, leaves and more.) 

The flowers and leaves were cut using ODBD Bitty Blossoms Die (I love this set) and I used the ODBD Foliage & Leaves Die for the fancy leaf vine.  The flowers and leaves were cut from ODBD Blushing Rose Collection paper.  The flower vine was cut on white card stock and colored a pale green with Spectrum Noir LG1. 

When I think of lace I always think pearls, so I added a couple of little pearls in the flower centers and a couple of heart shaped buttons just for fun. 

I wanted really simple circles for the sentiment so I used the ODBD Circles Die and also used one that is just a touch bigger from the ODBD Circle Ornament Die set.  I set the circles on some dimensional adhesive tape to offset the height created by the flowers (so that it will go through the mail a little easier, I hope.)
