A Very Merry Christmas

Good morning!  Hope you are having a great week!  

I am loving the new ODBD sets this month!  My card today features the new Jingle Bells set!  I colored the image with copics.  Then I added liquid applique to the snow areas and 'painted' the rest of the image with stickles for an icy look.  I framed it with Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics and a Spellbinders Oval.  The branches and swirly die cuts are from the ODBD Custom Dies called Fancy Foliage and the sentiment tag is from the ODBD Custom Recipe Card and Tag Dies.  I made the pretty little bow with Becca's Peg Bow Maker.

Here is another look:

Now on to my card!

You may remember this card from last month using one of the images from the Garden Mini set.

I had colored the fruit as peaches to go along with last month's Peaches, Strawberries, Pickles theme.  

But they are really.....

Red Delicious Apples!  I colored them with copics and cut them out with a Spellbinders Oval.  The background is a Spellbinders Marvelous square frame with the new ODBD Custom Decorative Corners Dies!  I cut two out to make a square background!  I then added the tiny bow made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker to complete the card!

 And here is my second card:

This Little Drummer Boy is adorable!  I colored him with copics and cut him out.  He is popped up on a frame made with Spellbinders A-2 Matting Basics Dies.  The baby Jesus is from the set called The Babe and the star is from Away in a Manger.  I added a little rhinestone to the star to complete the card!

And that is it for me today!  

Here are all the ODBD supplies I used today:

So Berry Sweet!

Good morning!  Today, the ODBD designers are taking a look back at our August release!  Such fun sets to play with!  Who doesn't like being blessed with a bountiful garden!!!   Today, my card features the Garden Minis set and the Strawberries set!  I am using the sketch from the ODBDSLC166 this week.  I am also entering this to the Word Art Wednesday challenge #93-Anything Goes (with scripture or encouraging word).  I colored the mini basket of strawberries with copics.  The scalloped circle die cuts are from the ODBD/Spellbinders Recipe Card and Tags dies and the background is the ODBD/Spellbinders Quatrefoil Pattern die.  I made a frame with Spellbinders A-2 Matting Basics dies (using Scor-Tape to adhere the background to the frame) and the bow was made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker.  I then added the button to finish the card!  One thing I don't mention much is that I use my Scor-Buddy at least once for EVERY single card I make!  I love having that little tool right at my fingertips!  

Here are the August sets I used:

Gazebo Through the Window

Hey y'all!!!  I wanted to try my hand at the TLC on SplitCoast this week to create a window on the front part of the card with the image and sentiment on the inside.  And I just had to have this beautiful Gazebo from North Coast Creations peeking through!  My window was created with Spellbinders A-2 Matting Basics, Spellbinders Ovals and the ODBD/Spellbinders Quatrefoil Pattern Die.  I added pearls to the Quatrefoil Pattern and then cut the flourish with the ODBD/Spellbinders Fancy foliage Die.  Then I added a seam binding bow I made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker!

Here is the inside:

The inside is also a frame made with the Spellbinders A-2 Matting Basics and the Spellbinders Ovals.  I colored the Gazebo with copic markers.   The sentiment is from the ODBD Hyacinth set.  

Here is a close up look!

Just For You!

 Hi everyone!  So glad you stopped by!  

Today, a few of the 'bread sticks' are focusing on a couple of our custom ODBD/Spellbinders Dies!!!

The Recipe Card and Tags Dies and The Apron and Tools Dies!

These dies go so well with this month's new releases too!  My card features The Recipe Card and Tags Dies along with the new Garden Mini Set and the Peaches Set.  I colored the strawberry with copics and cut it out with the circle from the die set, which is then popped up on the larger of the tags in the set.  This is layered over the Spellbinders Labels One and the Cheery Lynn Designs French Pastry Doily.  I made the little bow out of twine with Becca's Peg Bow Maker. 

Here are the other ODBD supplies I used today:

I am entering this to the latest challenge at Word Art Wednesday!

I wanted to share this card I made for several challenges!

WAW91-Anything Goes

WT438-Doctored Up(feature anything medical related or a thank you card)

The Gingham Background is an ODBD stamp.  I made a frame with Spellbinders A-2 Matting Basics dies.  The strawberry images and sentiment are from new ODBD sets, Strawberries and Garden Minis.  I colored the images with copics and highlighted with Copic Opaque White.  The greenery is from ODBD/Spellbinders Fancy Foliage dies and the tag is from ODBD/Spellbinders Recipe Card and Tags dies.  I made the pretty bow with Becca's Peg Bow Maker!

Here is another little card I made:

A CAS card very similar to the one I shared the other day!  

This time I used the little mason jar from the Garden Minis set.   

PLEASE NOTE: The flowers are hand drawn by me! They are not a stamped image.  

I couldn't resist!  I love flowers in mason jars!  I colored everything with copics.

  'with love' is masked from a sentiment in the Garden Sentiments set.  

Here are the ODBD sets and supplies I have featured today:

          

 

And that is it for today!  Enjoy your weekend!
