Way Behind....

Good morning!  I have a couple of Christmas cards to share today!  I am so behind in my Christmas card goal it is not even funny.  I have had to skip the last couple of months of the Christmas card challenge I joined.  I just can't keep up right now and that makes me sad.  Hopefully I can catch up one of these days.  In the meantime,  my first card was done with the new Barn stamp from North Coast Creations!  This image is so versatile, and I love it!  I created a Christmas scene just by adding touches of white paint for snow!  The die cut is from the new ODBD/Spellbinders Fancy Foliage dies that is releasing tomorrow!  I made the little bow with Becca's Peg Bow Maker.  And I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to place the sentiment wchich is from the ODBD set called Cardinal Ornament.   

My second card is done with a Lablanche Santa.  He is framed with Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles.  I added a pretty lace bow I made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker.  Joy is stamped from a sentiment stamp from the ODBD set called Christmas Door.

Thanks for stopping by today! 

 Be sure and check out the new ODBD releases tomorrow! You're gonna love them!

 See you there!

 

A Little Sneak Peek Just For You!

 Hi there!  Hope your Monday has been good!  

I wanted to share a little sneak peak of a new set from Our Daily Bread designs that will be released on the first!  Y'all are gonna love all the fun new sets!  This is a tiny peek at the Peaches set.  I did some masking to get the three peaches and colored them with copics.  I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the sentiment and then cut it out with the ODBD/Spellbinders Antique Labels and Borders Dies.  I made the pretty bow with Becca's Peg Bow Maker.  The background is embossed with a Cuttlebug folder.

This is for the TLC-440 on Splitcoast today.  The challenge was to choose from the first fifty challenges and I chose TLC28-Masking.

Thanks for stopping by!  See you again soon!

Thinking of You

Hi there!  Hope you are having a nice day!

This card is for two challenges:

ARTC7-Anything Goes

and

WAW90-Anything Goes

 

I am in love with this new Barn stamp from North Coast Creations!  This time I colored it in sepia tones with copic markers.  I used my Scor-Buddy to score along the bottom of the image as well as the base card.  I added the sentiment from the ODBD set called All Occasion Sentiments.  I just added a button and some twine to complete the card!  

 

Here is a look at the new stamp from NCC!

 Thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy your weekend!

My first card is done with the Gazebo stamp!  I colored it with copics and cut it out with a Spellbinders Oval.  I layered it onto the ODBD/Spellbinders Quatrefoil Pattern die and added Flower Soft (Sweet Pea) and Glossy Accents to the roof.  

Then I stamped the sentiment from ODBD Banner Sentiments and cut it out with ODBD/Spellbinders Birdcage and Banner Die.  I added some Cheery Lynn Designs Mini Fanciful Flourishes and lots of pearls to complete the card!

My second card features the Barn stamp!  LOVE this one so much!!!  There is just something so homey and comforting about a barn, don't you think?  

This is a no fuss card.  The image is colored with copics.  

The sentiment is masked off from the ODBD Thank God set. 

And that's it!  Thank you for coming by!  See you again soon! 

Two More For Today!

This first card is for this week's ODBDSLC162 to use white, ivory and one other color!  Hope the little flower and leaves don't count!  Oops!  This scripture is part of the new ODBD Love Scriptures set. And the bow was made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker!

Here is another card!

For this one I used Love Scriptures, To the Lovebirds, Banner Sentiments, and Honeycomb Background.  The Banner Sentiment, I Love You So Much, is along the top left side of the oval die cut. And again, the bow was made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker!

Here are the new sets I used:

Thanks so much for visiting again today!  See you again soon!

Isn't it Romantic?

 This is one of my favorite scriptures!  Song of Songs 3:4- I found the one whom my soul loves...

This scripture is found in the new ODBD set called Love Scriptures.

 

I decided to play along in The Shabby Tea Room Challenge 175 which is a photo inspiration along with using pearls, lace and flowers.  The designer paper is from My Mind's Eye.  I used the ODBD/Spellbinders Window Die to cut from the same designer paper and made the bow with Becca's Peg Bow Maker.  The pearls were added to the lace along the side.  

Hope you are having a great week so far!  Thanks for stopping by!

A Look Back at the ODBD July Release

I am so thankful for you!  Yes You!

Today we are taking a minute to look back at this month's ODBD new releases!  

And I can tell you, I absolutely love them!  

This card is done with the new To the Lovebirds set and the Banner Sentiments set along with the matching ODBD/Spellbinders Birdcage and Banners Dies!  Don't you just love those little birds cut out with their matching dies?!  I also used the ODBD/Spellbinders Window Die and the Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish dies.  The paper is My Mind's Eye and the flowers are punched out with a Martha Stewart punch.  I made the bow with Becca's Peg Bow Maker too!  And then I added lots of little pearls to the flower centers to complete the card! 

Here are the ODBD supplies I used:

Spread Wings of Faith

   

Hi there!!!  Hope you are having a fabulous day!

My card today was inspired by the sketch challenge today on Splitcoast.  I say inspired because I forgot all about the square layer that was supposed to go in the center!  Oh well, it is what it is!   I am also entering this into the weekly Word Art Wednesday challenge! 

I love creating shabby chic cards!  Mix up some pink papers and white paint, doilies and birds or bird cages, a pretty bow and a banner and you've got yourself a shabby chic card y'all!  LOL!  I am still in love with the new Our Daily Bread designs sets, To the Lovebirds and Banner Sentiments.  Having the coordinating ODBD/Spellbinders Birdcage and Banner dies is a huge plus!

See the little birdies spreading their wings in faith?

Here are all the ODBD supplies I used today:

Thank you so much for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of your week!

Challenges, challenges...

Happy Friday y'all!  I had some time this morning to make another card with this new set from ODBD called To the Lovebirds!  I am entering this into 4 challenges:

SC443-Sketch

MIX23-Multi Surface (card stock, washi tape, vellum)

WAW87-Anything Goes

ARTC4-Color combo

Whew!

This is my first time using washi tape!  And I thought it fit nicely with this week's sketch at SCS!  I stamped the birdcage and birds and then cut them out with the ODBD/Spellbinders Birdcage and Banners Dies.  The paper is My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Two Blush.  The little wooden butterfly and the papers are inked lightly with white ink.  I added lace, raffia, thread and beads to finish the card.

Here is a look at the stamp set and the matching dies:

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