This lovely ornament is part of a new stamp set from Our Daily Bread designs called 

Holiday Ornaments 2.  It is stamped with versamark and heat embossed with gold embossing powder.  

I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to place the sentiment inside the ornament.  The designs in this set coordinate with Spellbinders Holiday Tags Dies!  This is a fun set to play with!  

Have a wonderful day!  See you again soon!

Baubles, Bells or Anything Hanging

I hope you all had a wonderful day with family and friends on this day of Thanksgiving!  I am stuffed! What about you?  And so, now it is full speed ahead until Christmas!  I love the holidays!  

I made this card for the Shining the Light challenge on the Our Daily Bread designs blog!  The challenge is 'Baubles, Bells or Anything Hanging'.  This gorgeous ornament is from the new ODBD set called Ornaments 2.  This set was designed to coordinate with the Spellbinders 2011 Heirloom Ornaments Dies.  I stamped the ornament, cut it out and added Stickles to the design.  I also cut out the sentiment with another Spellbinders die and tied it on with a pretty lace bow.  I added some beads to hang down over the ornament with silver cording.  The ornement is placed over a layer of white that is embossed with the Spellbinders Fleur de Lis Square.  I added little green Zva pearls and sprayed the card with Marshmallow Glimmer Mist to complete the card!  Voila!  Another card done!  See you again soon!!!

Love and Joy

Hi everyone!  I am entering this into several challenges.

  

TSTR88-Shabby Pastel Christmas

SNTODBD48-Festive Christmas

IC311-SCS Inspiration Challenge

CCC11-Christmas Card Challenge November

  The sentiment is from one of this month's new sets by Our Daily Bread designs called Sacred Season.  I cut it out with a Spellbinders Labels Four.  I don't have a clue who the maker of the designer paper is but it's pretty!  It already has a shimmer to it and I embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder for extra texture.  The cut out behind the pink pearls and the white leaves are canvas cut outs that are sprayed with several shades of Glimmer Mists.  Well, the leaves are sprayed with Marshmallow and Dazzling Diamonds so not much color on those.  The flower is by Prima.  I wound gold cording around pink tulle and then attached the bow.  The tulle was glued down over the lace with Beacon glue. Thank you so much for stopping by!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend and see you again soon!

Midnight Wishes

Happy Thursday!  I made this for the Midnight Madness sketch challenge this week!  This is a new set from Our Daily Bread designs called Warm Wishes.  I colored it with copics and added stickles here and there.  I used Spellbinders dies for the image and a snowflake cuttlebug embossing folder on the designer paper.  The silver wire ribbon is Martha Stewart and the silver bows are made with SU! cord.  I added a pearl swirl and Marshmallow Glimmer Mist to complete the card!  

Thanks so much y'all for coming by!  See you again soon!

Warm Wishes

Hi there!  Here is another card I made with one of the new sets released for November from Our Daily Bread designs called Warm Wishes!  Such a cute little snowman scene!  And look at that cool window!  It's a custom Spellbinders die for ODBD!  The possibilities are endless with this die!  I stamped the snowman scene with brown ink and layered the window over it.  This is layered over another sheet of white card stock that is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.  Then I added stickles for snow, pearl swirls and a pretty Bow Easy bow!  Hope you had a great Monday!  See you again soon!

I used the lovely new set called Sacred Season.  I colored the pine cone with copic markers in brown tones and cut it out.  I covered it with Diamond Glaze and then covered the snow with stickles and set it aside to dry overnight.  The background designer paper is StampinUp!.  I stamped the sentiment and framed and it with the Spellbinders ODBD custom Elegant Ovals die. I glued down lace and ribbon and a pretty Bow Easy bow in a slant across the frame.  I added a pretty Zva pearl flourish then the little pine cone and then sprayed the card with Marshmallow Glimmer Mist!

there are two more of each design behind the two that you see!!  I seriously love these Sepia Card Toppers from Flower Soft!  I colored them with copic markers, stamped the sentiment from the Mistletoe Tag Set on three of the toppers, and added Polar White Flower Soft!  I made the bows with my Bow Easy and glued them down.  The background is a Sizzix embossing folder.  

The final addition was a few sprays of Marshmallow Glimmer Mist!!!

ODBD Christmas Card Challenge

Good morning!  There is a new Stamping in Time with Betty posted on the ODBD blog this morning!  Betty's assignment is to make Christmas cards!  Well, that helped to get me going as I am committed to making Christmas cards all year long and had not met my commitment for June yet!  And today is the last day!!!  ARGH!!!  Anyway,  I kept it simple to make it go faster!  And I made ten!!   Wahoo!  Anyway, I used the Christmas Blessings set and stamped the sentiment in the blank area of the Cuttlebug embossing.  I added red rhinestones on some until I ran out, and did a few cards with silver rhinestones.  I made ten perfect bows with my Bow Easy and glued them on to complete the cards. 

The card bases are SU! Baja Breeze and the vanilla layers are by The Paper Studio.
