Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs November 2016 Release!

Hi Friends!

Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs November 2016 Release Blog Hop!! Christmas is almost here and I just love all of the stamp sets and dies in this new release.

I know that you will not want to miss the inspiration from the rest of the ODBD “Breadsticks”Design Team and we would love to have you hop along with us- see more details below...

My first card features the new ODBD Jingle Bell Time stamp set along with the new ODBD Snowflake Season Collection 6x6 Paper Pad and previously released ODBD Pierced Rectangles Dies and ODBD Lavish Layers Dies.

I absolutely love this Jingle Bell Time image- so much fun to color!  I used water-based markers to watercolor the image and background- added a bit of layering for a quick and easy card!

My second card features the new ODBD Snowflake Sky Die, ODBD Snow Crystals Dies along with the previously released ODBD Noel Border Die.

To create the background, I inked the ODBD Snowflake Sky Die with raspberry distress ink, stamped onto white cardstock and spritzed with water.  

Once the panel was dry, I decided that the image was not defined enough so I die cut and embossed the ODBD Snowflake Sky Die from white and raspberry cardstock, layered over the stamped background and added the raspberry ODBD Noel Border Die along with the ODBD Snow Crystals Dies plus a bit of shimmer and rhinestones to finish off the card.

 I hope I have inspired you today and that you will take the time to visit the rest of my ODBD Design Team Sisters to check out their gorgeous creations!

ODBD Pre-Order November 2016 Breadbasket Bundle

ODBD Pre-Order November 2016 Christmas Lights Bundle

Pre-Order November 2016 Snowflake Dies Bundle

I am sharing a quick card using the dies from the new ODBD Snowflake Dies Bundle along with the ODBD Noel Border Die (from the ODBD October 2016 Release)  :-)

To create this card:

Die cut and emboss the following pieces from silver foil paper:

1). ODBD Snowflake Sky Die

2). ODBD Snow Crystals Dies (a few small snowflakes as well as larger one)

3). ODBD Noel Border Die

Die cut and emboss the following pieces from white cardstock:

1). ODBD Noel Border Die

2). ODBD Snow Crystals Dies (a medium snowflake) ** Confession time- this was not in my original plan but some adhesive could not be removed from the silver foil border of the ODBD Snowflake Sky Die cut, so this snowflake was added to cover it up- now you know the rest of the story- lol! **

To assemble the card:

Adhere the die cut ODBD Snowflake Sky Dies to a piece of white cardstock, add the gray triple ribbon satin bow (wrapping the ends of the ribbon behind the panel) and mount the panel onto the gray card base.

Layer the silver foil ODBD Noel Border Die cut onto the white ODBD Noel Border Die cut, trim the long end and mount onto the card front.

Add the various ODBD Snow Crystals Die cuts to the card front (use dimensional foam for the large snowflake in the center) and adhere rhinestones to the snowflake centers.

Add the rhinestone embellishment to the ribbon bow along with the larger snowflake to finish off the card.

Quick and easy, perfect for creating multiple Christmas cards!

Thanks again for taking the time to stop by- I hope I have inspired you to create something this week.  Hugs and have a blessed weekend, my friends!  

Our Daily Bread Designs October 2016 New Release Reminder

Hi Friends! 

Today we are taking a look back at the Our Daily Bread Designs October 2016 Release on the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog today and I am sharing two cards- a fairly simple card along with a fancier Z-Fold card.

I hope you have had a chance to check out the post on the Our Daily Designs Blog-  I know that you will not want to miss out on the gorgeous inspiration from the rest of the Design Team, affectionately known as the "Breadsticks"!

My first card features the new ODBD Joys of the Season along with the new ODBD Merry Christmas Border Die and the previously released ODBD Pierced Rectangles Dies and ODBD Lavish Layer Dies.

To create this card:

Die cut and emboss a piece of cherry cardstock with the ODBD Pierced Rectangles Dies, a” silver satin ribbon strips and mount onto the white card base.

Ink the ODBD Joys of the Season tree image with embossing ink, stamp onto a piece of white cardstock and emboss with silver embossing powder.

Create a mask from sticky note paper for the snow banks, mask the area for the snow banks, ink and stamp the ODBD Joys of the Season tree image with embossing ink, stamp on each side of the main embossed tree image and emboss with silver embossing powder.

Once the embossing powder has cooled, use a silver metallic pen to draw a line to define the snow banks.

Die cut and emboss the stamped panel with the ODBD Lavish Layers Dies and mount onto the card front with dimensional foam.

Die cut and emboss the ODBD Merry Christmas Border Die from silver metallic and cherry cardstock, layer the silver die under the cherry die cut and finish off the card by adhering the layered die cut to the front of the card.

My second card is a bit more elaborate and features the ODBD Fun & Fancy Folds Z Fold Card along with the October 2016 Release ODBD Noel Border Die, ODBD Holy Night Die, ODBD Our Savior’s Birth stamp set, ODBD Christmas Card Collection 2016 6x6 Paper Pad and the previously released ODBD Dies- Beautiful Borders, Pierced Rectangles, Splendorous Stars, Shining Star and Tag Trio.

To create this card:

Die cut and emboss the following from dark navy cardstock:

1). Noel Border Die

2). Holy Night Die

3). Splendorous Stars Die (second to the largest die and the smallest die)

Die cut and emboss the following from white cardstock:

1). Beautiful Borders Dies (cut 3 borders)

2), Tag Trio Dies

3). Pierced Rectangles Dies

4). Shining Star Die

To assemble the card:

Using the ODBD Fun & Fancy Folds Z-Fold White Card base, measure and cut pieces of dark navy cardstock to cover the panels of the Z-fold card.

Measure and cut pieces of the ODBD Christmas Card Collection 2016 6x6 Paper Pad to cover the lower front and inside of the Z-fold card.

Measure and cut a piece of white cardstock to cover the front large panel of the card.

Layer the ODBD Noel Border Die cut along the front edge of the Z-fold (trimming off the excess on the end) and cover the edge with one of the ODBD Beautiful Border Die cuts (trimming the ends as needed).

Stamp the verse and sentiment from the ODBD Our Savior’s Birth stamp set with dark navy ink- the verse onto the ODBD Tag Trio Die cut and the sentiment onto the upper right hand corner of the ODBD Pierced Rectangles die cut panel.

Add the stamped ODBD Tag Trio Die cut to the center panel with dimensional foam and mount the second ODBD Beautiful Borders Die cut to the top (again, trimming as needed to match the angles).

Mount the ODBD Pierced Rectangles die cut panel onto a piece of dark nay cardstock, trim close to the edge and mount onto the outer panel of the Z-fold card.

Add the ODBD Holy Night Die cut pieces (I trimmed off the shepherds and wisemen from the original die) and mount the last ODBD Beautiful Borders Die cut at the top of the panel (matching to the center panel and trimming the edges).

View showing all three panels open :-)

Mount the layered ODBD Splendorous Stars and Shining Star die cut onto the upper left hand corner of the card front and add rhinestones to the center of the layered stars as well as to the top of the tag in the middle panel of the Z-fold and the two stars on the ODBD Holy Night Die panel.

Measure two pieces for the belly band- one from white cardstock and the other a bit wider from dark navy cardstock (make sure you allow room to slide over the closed card).  

Adhere the ends in the back and attach the organdy navy triple ribbon bow with the rhinestone embellishment in the center to finish off the card.

I hope I have inspired you and that you will find the time to create something this weekend!

Thanks again for stopping by- hugs and have a blessed week, my friends!
