My first card features Warm My Heart.  I stamped the image onto white card stock and onto a sheet of the ODBD Shabby Rose Paper and cut it out so I could do the paper piece technique.  I used the ODBD Doily die and the ODBD Beautiful Border die to create this shabby card! 

Here is my second card:

 This time I used What's Brewin'?  It is hard to see in the photo but the images are stamped in brown and clear embossed.  The background paper is from the ODBD Shabby Rose Paper Collection and is embossed with the ODBD Faithful Fish die.  The outside edge of the brown layer is cut and embossed with the ODBD Flourished Star Pattern die.  Added brown seam binding to complete the card!

Here are the new NCC sets I used today:

Wedding Day Fan

Hello!  

Here is an easy idea for your wedding, using the beautiful Solid Tiffany Blue Card Stock 100# from paperandmore.com!  The wedding season is almost upon us and so many are planning outdoor weddings. You want your guests to be as comfortable as possible.  Why not a fan?
  

First I printed out a little announcement/thank you onto a sheet of Solid Tiffany Blue Card Stock 100#.  Using Spellbinders Labels 29, I cut out the printed information and a heavy piece of chipboard that is white on one side.  I used Scor-Tape to adhere the two pieces together.  I glued the fan handle to the back with a strong adhesive.  When I took the photo above, I had planned to tie lace on the handle.  However, I changed my mind and used seam binding instead.  

I like it better!  

What do you think?  This is something that is easy to do in mass quantities, it wouldn't be very expensive, and your guests will have something to keep as a reminder of your special day!

Thanks for taking a look!  Have a wonderful day!

 

Time to Look Back at the ODBD March Release!

Good morning!  

So glad you joined us for our look back at the March Release from 

Our Daily Bread designs!  We had so much fun working with these new sets and we hope you were inspired by our creations!  For my card today, I am using the Basket of Blessings set.  I colored it with several copics to achieve a color match to this sheet of the Shabby Rose Paper Collection. I cut out the basket and made a slit at the top of the basket to tuck in the Grass Border.  I attached the basket to a Daisy Chain Background die-cut which is layered over the designer paper.  I also embossed the outer edge with a die from the Flourished Star Pattern dies.  And then I added a pretty seam binding bow to the handle.  I stamped the sentiment to a tag cut with the Recipe Card And Tags dies, adding hemp twine.  Then I tucked the tag into the basket.  Below is a photo with the tag out.

 

Here are the ODBD products I used for this card:

 

And that is it for me today!  

Please go check out the inspiration from my DT sisters!

Cookie Inspiration Challenge on SCS!

Hi there!  This card is for the Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoast this morning!  The cookies are so beautiful!  I would have a very hard time eating one let me tell you!  LOL!  Here is a link to the photo that I used as my inspiration.  I thought the new Floral Egg image from ODBD would work great!I layered a beautiful cross from ODBD Ornamental Crosses on top of the egg and popped it up over the Christ the Lord Background. The background is embossed on the edge with a die from the ODBD Flourished Star Pattern dies.  I completed the card with a button and bow.

Here are the products I used today:

Exciting News and A Frozen Celebration!

Hello!  Hope you are having an awesome day!  I am excited to share my first project as a member of the Paper and More Design Team!  Paper and More.com is a great place to buy all of your DIY paper needs for parties, showers and weddings!  

My first projects are for a little girl's birthday party theme of Frozen!

  

To get started, I created my invitation in MS Word, printing it out onto Bright White Heavy Card Stock 80#.  I trimmed it to fit inside the beautiful Tiffany Solid Blue Solid Square 6 1/4" Petal Card.  (Hint: I googled the rgb codes for Tiffany Blue so that I could get a close match printed out for some of the invitation wording. The color looks a little off in some photos however.)  Also from the Bright White Heavy Card Stock 80# and from Tiffany Blue Heavy Card Stock 100#, I cut out several shapes from Our Daily Bread designs dies.  The stamped sentiment is from an Our Daily Bread designs set called Special Girl.  I gathered all of my pieces together, along with snips of ribbon and lace, a toothpick and a white lollipop stick.  Oh, a strand of blue pearls, and silver elastic cording too!

I adhered the printed invitation and then popped up the snowflakes with foam tape.  I glued a silver bow onto the double snowflake for a little dazzle.  You could easily add sparkle with glitter or glitter glue as well. 

It would be very hard to have a princess party without a magic wand! The star/snowflake combo is taped to the lollipop stick. You could use a straw for this project as well.  

And here is a cute little cupcake topper!  You can see how the toothpick slides up in between the two flowers that are glued together. 

One more view of all three projects.  The sky is the limit as to what you can create for your princess party!  Remember, if hosting a party for a very young child, be sure to supervise them at all times with smaller or pointy pieces.

Thank you for visiting with me today!  I appreciate it so much!
