Hi everybody! Hope all is well with you!!! I made another card tonight with the adorable new set from Our Daily Bread designs called Noah's Ark! I found this designer paper and the sweet pom pom trim at Joann's the other day and have been stewing over this card in my head for days now!! I cuttlebugged it with the Argyle embossing folder and sponged around the edges with Certainly Celery ink. I cut and embossed a piece of Whisper White with a Labels Six Spellbinders die and sponged with Celery ink while it was still in the die. I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to place the sentiment. I stamped the little animals and cut them out. They are outlined with a C1 copic marker. The ribbon and pearl are StampinUp!. And I made the bow with my Bow Easy tool! I'm off to bed earlier than usual! I'm so sleepy! Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week y'all!
Hi everyone! Got in some more playing time! I am loving this newly released Noah's Ark set by Our Daily Bread designs!!! This time I made a masculine baby card! I have been stuck on girl colors lately! haha!! This is also for the Stampin' Sisters In Christ challenge this week."Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
the old has gone, the new has come!"
2 Corinthians 5:17
In honor of both kinds of new life God gives,
make a card or project that celebrates a new baby
or a new Christian’s conversion.

Today I am using the set called Noah's Ark. How sweet this set is! My color inspiration came from this gorgeous SEI paper which I matched with Baroque Burgundy (SU! retired) and a pale pink I found at Archivers. Then I had fun coloring the ark image with tons of copic markers. I used Spellbinders dies to cut out the ovals. I did the pink strip at the bottom with Martha's lace border punch and added ribbon from my stash. I used my Bow-Easy to make the bow!!! And that's it!
From here, please go visit the blog of the fabulous Kathy! She has a wonderful creation ready for you to see! Don't forget, you have until the 4th, to visit and comment on all the blogs and then to comment on the ODBd blog letting us know which new set is your favorite and why!
Today is Columbus Day so I am off for the day! And, since it is raining cats and dogs, what better way to spend my time than stamping! The Technique Lovers Challenge today is to make an easel card! I had never made one before and I am surprised at how easy it is! Also, this week over at Stampin' Sisters in Christ, the challenge is to make a baby card. I started with white for my base and used a piece of Pink Pirouette designer paper, inside and out. I added a border along the bottom made with the Martha Loop punch and a cuttlebug embossed button border. I inked the baby shoes with Creamy Caramel and rock-n-rolled in Pretty in Pink before stamping. The sentiment on the front is from SU! God's Blessings and the inside sentiment is from Our Daily Bread designs set called Children of God. I wish that I had thought far enough ahead to sponge the edges of the designer paper and the little flowers before putting everything together! Oh well! I used Martha's loopy corner to do the thingie under the ovals. Just had to trim part of it off! Added the little punched flowers and brown pearls, and the button on the inside to hold the easel up! Fun technique! I will use this again! Thanks for looking and have a blessed day!
