ODBDSLC260 Glory To God

Hello Friends!

Woohoo!! It’s time for the new Shining the Light  ODBDSLC260  “Double Embossing (Heat and Dry) ” Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!

Heat embossing was one of the first techniques that I discovered when I started stamping sixteen years ago and I still think it is a very easy way to add elegance to a card. 

I decided to use the brand new Elegant Embellishments clear stamp set (with the coordinating Elegant Embellishments dies) along with the Vintage Flourish Patterns Die for the dry embossed background.

To create this card:

Stamp Sets- Elegant Embellishments, Dies- Vintage Flourish Patterns Dies,
Elegant Embellishments Dies, Vintage Label Dies, Christmas Collection 2015 6x6 

Emboss a piece of White cardstock using the Vintage Flourish Patterns Die (I love the fact that these dies can be used to cut, emboss or just emboss) and trim the panel.

Cut a piece of the Christmas Collection 2015 6x6 Paper using the Vintage Labels Die and adhere to the center of the white embossed panel.

Ink the Elegant Embellishments stamps using Versamark™ ink, stamp onto white cardstock and heat emboss with Gold Embossing Powder.

Another view- it is difficult to see the two tone gold/silver
embossing on the upper left ornament 

Use the Elegant Embellishments Dies to cut out the ornaments, add the Gold Cord trim and mount the ornaments to the card front (using dimensional foam for two of the ornaments).

Add the 5/8” Gold Satin Ribbon bow to the corner and mount the entire panel onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock.

Adhere the entire panel to the white card base and add the Gold Cord bows to the ornaments along with the Pearls to finish off the card.

I am so thrilled to be designing alongside the talented ODBD Design Team and hope you will check out all of my DT sisters:

Chris, Diana, Paula and Robin.

Hi Again Friends!!

This card was created for the Splitcoaststampers’ Hope You Can Cling To  HYCCT1520 Robin’s “Candy Striper Comfort”Challenge (to create a card using Red and White Stripes) so I decided to create another Christmas card.

I am also going to link this to the Splitcoaststampers’ Way To Use It WT532 “Redand White Only” Challenge.  

If you have not had a chance to do so, I hope you will find the time to visit both of the above galleries- great designs from all!!

To create this card:

Using Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink, stamp the ornament with the opening for the sentiment from the Our Daily Bread Designs (ODBD) Elegant Embellishments onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.

Position the sentiment and stamp it into the center of the opening with Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink as well.

Use the Big Shot™ with the Elegant Embellishments Dies to cut out the stamped ornament, two of the detailed ornaments from another piece of Whisper White cardstock and two of the solid ornaments from Cherry Cobbler cardstock.

Emboss a piece of Whisper White cardstock with the Stripes Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder (these stripes are difficult to see in the photo) and layer this panel onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler cardstock.

Cut a strip of the red striped paper from the ODBD Christmas 2013 6x6 Paper Collection and attach it to the card front with a sewing machine using a zigzag stitch.

Add the crochet lace, 1” Cherry Cobbler Grosgrain Ribbon and the ornaments using dimensional foam and Gold Twine.

Mount the entire panel onto the Whisper White card base and add the Pearls to finish off the card.
