A Look Back at ODBD's February Release

 Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' February 1st release.  I created a tent card using Flourished Happy Easter stamp, new Little Lamb Die and coordinating older release Sheep Single Stamp.  I also used some of the new designer papers from the new Easter Card Paper Collection and Pastel Paper Collections. Be sure to visit the ODBD Blog for even more design team inspiration.  The links are listed after today's project.

I started out with a 5.25 by 5.25 white card stock base.  I also cut another piece of card stock measuring 5 x 2.5  to create the base it would eventually rest on.  I scored the narrow side (2.5 inches) every 1/4 inch and folded to create my base.  After adding a lovely floral print and stamping my sentiment in the center (Happy Easter Flourish) I added a bit of polka dotted pattern on the outside.  I used the Double Stitched Circles Die to create my gallery along with one larger circle die to create the "frame."  I adhered the gate fold stand to the bottom inside of my card with adhesive tape and added a bit of green grass (Grass Die).  I stamped this darling little lamb (Sheep Single) on Copic compatible paper and lightly colored him.  Once I was satisfied with the coloring, I pulled out the new Little Lamb Die and cut my image out.  I created the fun flowers with white card stock and Pretty Posies Die.  After cutting, I inked each blossom with a soft purple distress ink on the edges and a bit of soft yellow inside.  I moistened each blossom layer with a water mister and worked the blossoms with my hands and a paper shaping tool to reach the desired effect.  A bit of greenery (Fancy Foliage Die) adorns the corner.  

So here are some of the items you see today...

Mid Month Bonus Die Release at Our Daily Bread Designs

There is a certain serendipity in the little surprises in life.  Like when the person in front of you at the fast food drive thru pays for your coffee or when a thoughtful motorist stops and lets you cross the parking lot.  It's the simple things that bring a smile to your face and thankfulness to your heart.  Today, Our Daily Bread Designs has pulled together a collection of dies as a special mid month release.  And I have a couple of projects to share featuring them.  

First a special Lily Die that coordinates with the lovely Beauty stamp set. 

I started with a card stock base measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches.  I cut a light mint DP for the base from ODBD's Pastel Paper Collection and used the Flourished Star Pattern Die with white card stock for the next layer.  ODBD's Double Stitched Rectangles Die set and polka dot DP from the Pastel Paper Collection create the final layer.  I added a sentiment layer and mat using the Stitched Ovals Die.  I chose my sentiment (stamped with Versafine Onyx Black) from ODBD's February stamp set, Many Thanks.  I stamped the image (ODBD's Beauty) on Copic compatible paper and after coloring used the NEW coordinating Lily Die to cut it out.  I added a bit of foliage (Fancy Foliage Die) along with a pearl flourish.  

So here is the new die...

which coordinates with this set...

And I used this February release for my sentiment...

And here is a fun tag I created using the new Lily Die and 

Tag Trio Die...

I used the Tag Trio Die to create a polka dot tag and added a white card stock frilly tag also created with this set.  I used ODBD's With Much Thanks stamp set for the sentiment and added another colored image (Beauty) to the bottom.  A bit of seam binding helps me tie it all together and adorn the gift.  

Here are the new items you see...

ODBD and Cardmaker Blog Hop!

 Welcome!  Thank you so very much for stopping by!  I am so excited to be a part of today's Our Daily Bread Designs and CardMaker hop!  For today's hop we are taking a look at some of ODBD's Christmas stamps, dies and papers.  I couldn't wait to go through my stash and make another Christmas card for my stash.  For this project I used ODBD's Christmas Tunes stamp set...

I started with a rich burgundy base measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches.  I slightly smaller gold card stock mat frames the distressed designer paper from ODBD's Christmas Paper Collection 2015.  I added a gold rectangular die cut (Double Stitched Rectangles Die) and a curved sentiment (Christmas Tunes) panel created with the Leafy Edged Borders Die.  A paper poinsettia created with ODBD's Peaceful Poinsettias Die and greenery (Fancy Foliage Lovely Leaves Die sets) finish the spray.  I love the contrast of the formal gold card stock with the distressed DP...    

So here are some of the Christmas items you see today...

So let's go straight to card number #1 

featuring the new Beauty   

stamp set AND the new Leafy Edged Borders Die...

I started with a rich raspberry card stock base (4.5 x 5 inches) and added a white card stock mat.  I used the new Leafy Edged Borders Die  to cut my white lace layer, silver poster board layer and designer paper over lay.  I stamped my image with Memento Ink on Copic compatible paper and colored it to resemble a stargazer lily.  I fussy cut the image after completing it and nestled it on top of a white die cut panel (created with the Stitched Ovals

die) along with greenery from the Fancy Foliage Die.  I stamped my sentiment with a rich raspberry

ink on white card stock and hand cut the panel to create a banner.  I tucked a pearl spray along with a few random pearls on the edge.  

And now for my second card using Plant a Garden...

Here, I started with a brown card stock base also measuring 5.5 x 4.25 inches.  I then chose a plank like designer paper from Our Daily Bread Designs' Rustic Beauty Paper Collection. 

I elected to cut strips of the paper and adhere it to my base as if it were a true fence...  going so far as to add a z shaped brace with dimensional foam on top.  I stamped the image on Copic compatible paper (Plant a Garden) and colored it with Copics.  I lightly sponged on Memento's Olive Grove ink on the bottom and Summer Sky on top to mimic the sky.  I created the flower spray with the new Pretty Posies Die. 

I cut flower layers and leaves with white card stock and colored each with distress ink.  I spritzed them lightly with water and shaped them with a stylus and mouse pad.  I used an older die Sunburst Background Die,

to created the base for the flower "buds" you see...   

So here are the new items you see for this special mid month release...

A Look Back at Our Daily Bread Designs' July Release

Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs' July Release.  Here are a couple of cards I created using You Are My Angel, Blossom, Welcoming Window Die, Window Shutter and Awning Dies and Flower Box Fillers Die.  For more inspiration using the July Release be sure to visit the ODBD Blog.

I began with a white card stock base and added a shabby base using the Shabby Rose Paper Collection and a die from the Flourished Star Pattern 

set.  I added the window die and base (Welcoming Window Die) along with shutters and awning (Window Shutter and Awning Die).  I added greenery created with the Fancy Foliage Die and blossoms created with the new Flower Box Fillers Die set.  I stamped the sentiment (You Are My Angel) with black ink and finished it with a die from the Antique Labels and Borders set.  Did you notice the double awning?  I cut one layer out of the gingham DP and another out of white card stock and trimmed it peek out from the gingham panel.  So FUN!!

So here is a clean and simple card using some Washi tape and a fun image colored and fussy cut from ODBD's Blossom stamp set.  

This has a white 5.5 x 4.25 inch card stock base with Real red matting and white sentiment base.  I placed the coordinating fabric Washi tapes and added my colored blossom with dimensional foam.  I tucked a few springs of greenery and twigs die cut from the Fancy Foliage Die set.  I stamped the sentiment with black Versafine ink directly on the main panel.  So simple and easy!!!

SO here are the items from this month's collection....

and some old favorites...
