Autumn!

 Hi there!  Hope your day is going great!

Here is a card I made with the new Fall Flower Pumpkin and Autumn Blessings sets from Our Daily Bread designs!  These sets are beautiful but one of the best things is that there are coordinating dies for them!!!  The images are colored with copics.  I made the bow with Becca's Peg bow Maker.  The background layers and embossing are all done with Spellbinders dies.

Here are all the products that can be found at ODBD:

North Coast Creations October Releases!

Good morning and welcome to the North Coast Creations October New Releases!  

We will be choosing 2 winners who will receive a $10 gift certificate to the store for stamps just for commenting on our Design Team cards! You have until October 17, 2013 at 10:00PM EDT to make a comment on each of our designers blog posts.  Our 2 random winners will be announced on the North Coast Creations Blog on October 18, 2013. 

You can see all of the October Releases Here.

Here is my first card:

 My first card features the Let It Snow set!  Such a fun image to color!  After stamping the image I cut the whole thing out very carefully and included some extra white space at the bottom for snow.  I used a black copic marker the outline the extra snow as well as some spots of the image that got cut too close.  Then I colored him up with more copics.  I layered the image over some pretty designer paper and a Cheery Lynn French Pastry Doily.  I added lots of clear rhinestones to the doily and tucked the sentiment banner under the image.  I added a little bow to complete the card!

Here is my second card:

This card features the JOY image which is also fun to color.  After coloring the image with copics, I stamped it again, colored another red bird and blue blow and cut those pieces out to have a little dimension to the card.  The edges of the designer paper and the image panel are lightly painted with white acrylic paint.  I made a pretty seam binding bow with Becca's Peg Bow Maker and glued it down onto the lace along with a button threaded with twine.  There is stickles on each red berry too!

Here are the NCC new releases I used today:

I Love This Time of Year!

 

What a beautiful time of year! 

 I love seeing the colorful autumn leaves falling, and feel the cool crisp mornings.  

Summer is waving good bye!

Here is a card I made using one of the new October releases from ODBD called Autumn Blessings.  

 I stamped the leaves onto musical designer paper and cut them out with the ODBD Custom Leaves and Acorn Dies.  I did a little sponging on the edges of the leaves and on the Spellbinders Square. The base card is embossed with a Spellbinders Marvelous Square die.  I used a Stamp-a-ma-jig to help get the sentiment straight.  And that is it!  Clean and Simple!

I am posting this to the ODBDSLC173-Fall Leaves

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a wonderful weekend!

 

Happy Birthday Kelley!

Good morning!  So excited to have you with us today!  

We are celebrating the birthday of our very own Kelley!  She is truly a wonderful person and I am so honored to have had the privilege of being on her team these last few years! 

Here is a photo taken at the Heirloom Rubber Stamp Show in February of this year here in Georgia!

Now back to my card:

Kelley loves pink and purple and dragonflies!  The purple background has an overlay of the ODBD Custom Quatrefoil Pattern Die.  Then I colored the images with copics and cut them out.  The images are from Faithful Friend and Don't Worry.  The dragonfly image has stickles on it and is attached to the flower and swirl from the ODBD Custom Fancy Foliage Die.  The scripture is cut out with ODBD Custom Elegant Oval and is layered over the ODBD Antique Labels and Borders Die!  I made the pretty bow with Becca's Peg Bow Maker and attached a pink brad I found in my forgotten stash of goodies!

Here are the ODBD supplies I used:

I don't know about y'all but I am seeing lots of beautiful white pumpkins being used in Fall decorations!  That is what inspired me in my coloring of this wonderful Fall Flower Pumpkin stamp, new from ODBD.  And cutting out the image was a breeze with the coordinating ODBD Custom Pumpkin with Flowers Die!  It is framed inside a Spellbinders Marvelous Square frame that I had cut weeks ago but didn't use.  I added a pretty lace bow I made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker and then a tag with a sentiment from the new Autumn Blessings set!

Here are the ODBD supplies I used:

A Look Back at the NCC September Releases!

 Today we are looking back at the September releases from North Coast Creations!  

My card features the Old Fashioned Santa set!  I colored him with copics and cut him out.  I added him to a Spellbinders frame over some festive green polka dot paper.  I also painted him with a little stickles for sparkle!  The sentiment tag is ODBD Custom Recipe Card and Tags dies and the foliage is ODBD Custom Fancy Foliage dies.  

EDITED TO ADD:

I am updating to address the two questions regarding the frame on this card.  I used a Spellbinders Matting Basics die to embossed the edge of the base card.  And then I used two smaller Matting Basics dies to cut the frame.  I have both Spellbinders A-2 Matting Basics A and B so not really sure which I used here.  I hope that helps.  Thanks for your comments!  You are so sweet!  I am sorry I left out this info!

Here is a picture of the set with store link:

Have a wonderful day!

The winner will be posted on the ODBD Blog on October 3rd, 

so be sure to check back there to see if you have won!

My first project was so much fun!  I wanted to try for a vintage look.  I stamped the image from the Candy Cane set with brown ink on Kraft card stock.  I colored with copics and then painted the white stripes with bleach which gave the candy cane a really cool look!  ETA: I know I typed up another important part to the making of this card but it's not here!  After using the bleach, I painted the candy cane with stickles and then painted over that with glossy accents to get that vintage look!  The Candy Cane poem is cut out with ODBD Custom Elegant Ovals die.  I added a little button on the candy cane to complete the card!

Here is a closer look:

 And here is my second card:

A little more of a CAS card but with several layers.  This time I used the Jesus is the Reason set.  I colored the image with copics and added glossy accents and then stickles on the leaves and berries.  The top panel is cut with Spellbinders Labels 26 and layered over Spellbinders Eyelet Square.  I threaded red ribbon through the holes and finished the card!

Here are all the ODBD supplies I used today:
