A Look Back at the August 2016 ODBD Release

Hi Friends! 

Today we are taking a look back at the Our Daily Bread Designs August 2016 Release on the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog today- what a fabulous release!!

My card features the new ODBD With Sympathy (Stamp/Die Duo-Clear Stamps) along with the new ODBD Flower Lattice Die in addition to ODBD Sweet As Perfume and ODBD You Bless Me from the July 2016 Release.

To create this card:

Cut the strips of ODBD Chalkboard Collection 6x6 Paper to fit the panels of the ODBD  Fancy Folds-Tri-Shutter 2.

Cut a square from white cardstock using the ODBD Double Stitched Squares Dies and stamp the sentiment from ODBD With Sympathy (Stamp/Die Duo-Clear Stamps) using archival black ink.

Cut and emboss a piece of white cardstock with the ODBD Lacey Squares Dies, mount the stamped  Double Stitched Squares die cut onto the frame and adhere to the front panel of the ODBD Tri-Fold Shutter 2 card.

Ink the ODBD Sweet As Perfume and ODBD You Bless Me floral images using archival black ink, stamp onto white cardstock and watercolor with the archival ink.  Fussy-cut each image, mount the ODBD Sweet As Perfume image onto the main panel using dimensional foam.

Die cut and emboss a piece of white cardstock using the ODBD Layered Lacey Ovals Dies, stamp the sentiment from the ODBD With Sympathy (Stamp/Dies Duo- Clear Stamps) with archival black ink and layer the ODBD You Bless Me gladiolus image onto an oval die cut.

Die cut and emboss a piece of white cardstock using the Flower Lattice Die, trim to fit onto the center panel  and right hand panel of the ODBD Tri-Shutter 2 Card, add the layered oval die cut onto the right hand panel.

Die cut two pieces of black cardstock with the Sympathy word die from the ODBD With Sympathy (Stamp/Dies Duo- Clear Stamps), layer the pieces together and mount onto the front panel of the card.

Add Pearls to the flower centers as well as the corners of the focal square and the Flower Lattice Die centers to finish off the card.

I had so much fun designing this card and using the ODBD Fancy Folds- Tri-Shutter 2 Card made it so easy!  I am also going to link this card to the Word Art Wednesday #244-#245 "Anything Goes" Challenge  as well as the Simon Says Wednesday "Make For the Border" Challenge (both sites have a fabulous DT and entries in their galleries). 

Again, I hope you have a chance to check out the inspiration from the rest of the "Breadsticks" at Our Daily Bread Designs- gorgeous examples from all!

ODBD July 2016 Release- Sending Hugs

Hi Friends!

I have been stamping away this week and will be able to post some of those creations with you later this week and next, but in the meantime, I wanted to share with you another card using the July 2016 ODBD Release Stamps, Sweet As Perfume and You Bless Me.

I just love the artwork of these gorgeous flowers and since I am allergic to the fragrance of flowers, I can have fun creating these flowers without worrying about an asthma attack- lol!!

I am linking this card to the Word Art Wednesday #240/#241 “Anything Goes” Challenge as well as the Tic-Tac-Toe #14 Challenge (third row – add dimension, intricate dies and ribbon).

To create this card:

Layer a piece of ODBD Chalkboard 6x6 Collection paper onto white cardstock, trim and mount onto the black card front.

Die cut and emboss the Vintage Borders Dies from white cardstock, adhere the large frame directly onto the card front and add the smaller border frame with dimensional foam.

Ink the sentiment from You Bless Me with embossing ink, apply gold embossing powder, heat set with a heat tool and die cut/emboss with the Layered Lacey Ovals Dies.

Add the sentiment to the card front along with the black triple satin ribbon bow (wrapping the ends around the card front and trimming the one end that will be covered by the flowers).

Ink the floral images from Sweet As Perfume and You Bless Me with an embossing ink, apply gold embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, “fussy-cut” each of the embossed images and layer onto the card front with dimensional foam.

Mount the entire card front onto the white card base and add pearls to the flower centers as well as the corners to finish off the card.

Thanks again for stopping by to visit- hugs and I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend!

Our Daily Bread Designs- July New Release Reminder

Hi Friends!

I hope all of you are having a great week so far!  Today we are taking another look at the July 2016 Release from Our Daily Bread Designs and I am sharing a card that I created using the brand new Sweet As Perfume stamp set, Layered Lacey Ovals Dies, Vintage Borders Dies and the previously released Vintage Flourish Pattern Dies.

I just love the floral images and intricate dies in the July 2016 Release, don't you?  

I have never been to Hawaii, but I understand that they use the frangipani flower in leis (the flower is also known as the plumeria), so I "googled" the flower to try to obtain some color options and chose a multicolored flower for this card:-)

I am also linking this to The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge- day #4.  

  

To create this card:

Using Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink, stamp the frangipani flower image from the Sweet As Perfume stamp set onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp a few more of the images onto scrap paper and create masks, mask the flowers to continue to stamp the rest of the border/corner.

Using an waterbrush along with water-based markers (So Saffron and Sweet Sugarplum) watercolor the petals and Pear Pizzazz with Garden Green for the leaves.

Trim the panel and fussy-cut around the edges of the flowers.

Use the Big Shot™ with the Vintage Flourish Pattern Dies to cut and emboss the background die, mount onto a piece of So Saffron cardstock, trim and mount onto a piece of Garden Green cardstock, trim and mount the entire background onto the Extra Thick Whisper White card base.

Die cut and emboss the center panel from the Vintage Border Dies and mount onto the center of the Vintage Flourish Pattern Die cut piece.

Die cut and emboss the medium oval from the Layered Lacey Ovals Die and stamp the sentiment from Sweet As Perfume with Stāz-On® Jet Black Ink.

Add the flower border along with the sentiment using dimensional foam.

To finish off the card, add Pearls to the flower centers as well as a few on the sentiment oval and apply Clear Wink of Stella® to the petals.

Stamp Sets: Sweet As Perfume (ODBD)

Ink/Mediums: Stāz-On® Jet Black; So Saffron, Sweet Sugarplum, Pear Pizzazz, Garden Green markers; Clear Wink of Stella®

Paper: Whisper White, So Saffron, Garden Green

Accessories: Big Shot™, ODBD Layered Lacey Oval Dies, ODBD Vintage Border Dies, ODBD VintageFlourish Pattern Die, Waterbrush, Pearls

ODBD July 2016 New Release

Hello Friends!

Welcome to the July 2016 Our Daily Bread Designs Release!!  I am so excited to announce that in addition to being on the Artistic Outpost Design Team (which is a division of Our Daily Bread Designs), I am now on the Our Daily Bread Design Team affectionately known as the “Breadbaskets”!   

This is an amazing Design Team and I am so thankful and honored to be able to create alongside these talented women :-)

Wow!  The ODBD July 2016 New Release has four gorgeous floral stamp sets along with three spectacular die sets- I absolutely love all of the images, plus my mother loved flowers, especially irises, so this release is near and dear to my heart :-)

 I know that you will not want to miss the inspiration from the rest of the Breadbaskets, plus we would love for you to hop along with us- see more details below :-)

My first card uses the You Bless Me stamp set along with the Layered Lacey Ovals Dies, Beautiful Borders Dies and the Soulful Stitches 6x6 Paper Collection.

I decided to stamp the image several times, watercolor with water-based markers, fussy-cut the flowers to layer with dimensional foam and added a few pearls to finish off the card.

My second card features the new Sweet As Perfume stamp set with the Ornate Ovals Dies, Beautiful Borders Dies along with the Heart and Soul 6x6 Paper Collection.

I pulled out my sewing machine to stitch the Heart and Soul paper to the card base with a zig-zag stitch, watercolored the flower image with water-based markers before fussy-cutting and layering onto the dies with dimensional foam. 

I had fun designing with these gorgeous sets and I hope that I have inspired you as well :-)
