Thank a Bus Driver!

 

Good morning!  

I have another card featuring one of the May Releases from Our Daily Bread Designs.  This release was all about appreciation for our teachers and counselors and bus drivers! School bus drivers have so much responsibility.  We rely on them to get our precious children and grandchildren to and from school safely, each and every day of the school year!  Let's not forget to thank these people in our lives!

For this card I used the set called School Bus Driver.  I colored the image with copics and fussy cut to pop up over the Rectangle and Pierced Rectangles.  The designer paper is from the Cozy Quilt Collection.  And then I just added the little Sparkling Stars and the Pennant Row banner to complete the card!

I am sharing this at ODBDSLC286 and CAS430.

Thanks so much for looking!  

Have a wonderful day!

Praying...

 Good morning!

Here is a card I made for the ODBDSLC281 Let's Be Sentimental Challenge!  I colored the praying hands image from the new set called Handle With Prayer with copics to match the card stock.  Then I cut it out with the coordinating Praying Hands die.  The sentiment is stamped onto the smallest of the Filigree Frames dies and both the sentiment and the praying hands are popped up onto the largest of the Filigree Frames dies.  The bottom panel is cut with a Snowflake Sky die.  I added a seam binding bow to complete the card.

I also made this one:

  

I was stuck on a yellow kick!  This time I made a frame with Rectangles dies and layered it over a Lavish Layer panel and a Snowflake Sky panel.  Tucked inside the frame are the new Praying Border die, a Small Bow die and a Mini Tag die stamped with a Mini Tag Sentiment.  A tiny pearl completes this card. 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a wonderful day!

Let's Take a Look Back at the ODBD April Release!

Good morning!  

Thank you for joining us today as we share creations made 

with the ODBD April New Releases! 

My card features the new April Showers set along with the new Umbrellas dies.  I used the sketch at the ODBDSLC234 this week for my layout.  I cut out the sentiment and layered it with the Ornate Hearts dies.  The tiny little hearts are part of the new Umbrellas dies.  The paper is from the Shabby Rose Paper Collection.  Under the pretty paper is a layer cut with a die in the Flourished Star Pattern dies.  I added the Pennant Row die cuts and a pretty seam binding bow to complete the card!

Poinsettia Gift Box and Card

Good morning friends!  Hope things are going well with you!  

I have a little quick and easy gift box and 3x3 gift card to share this morning!  So easy you can make it in no time for those last minute gifts or gift cards!  

I cut a piece of chipboard that I had saved from packaging to a 9x9 square.  Then I scored at three inches and six inches.  I turned the square a quarter turn and scored again at 3 and 6 inches.  Then I cut out the outside corners, folded up the sides, punched holes in the corner and threaded ribbon through to tie the sides together.  Then I decorated with beautiful paper from the ODBD Winter Paper Collection.  I added a lace border with ODBD Beautiful Borders.  Then a gorgeous white poinsettia cut with ODBD Peaceful Poinsettia dies.  New this month from ODBD, are the cute little Mini Tag Sentiments and Mini Tag dies.  You can see two of the different shaped tags in the photos.  

Next I made a matching 3x3 gift card!  I also did just a bit of white washing on the papers.  Not too much, just a tad.  You can add tissue paper or that crinkled paper gift bag stuff, fill it with goodies and enjoy the gift of giving!

I am entering this ensemble to the ODBDSLC219-Christmas with ODBD Stamps challenge, as well as, Word Art Wednesday 161-Anything Goes with Scripture or Encouraging Sentiment.

B-L-E-S-S-I-N-G-S

 Happy Friday!!!

Here is a card for the latest challenge on the 

ODBD Blog BLESSINGS word Challenge. 

I chose:

B-little touches of blue (this might be a stretch!), S-stars, S-scripture, I-ink.  G-glitter glue in case the B doesn't cut it!  Or another S-stickles!  haha!

This new Christmas 2014 Paper Collection is just so gorgeous!  I stamped the verse from Come Let Us Adore Him right onto the paper and then framed it with a frame made with a Spellbinders square.  I stamped the star onto a sheet from the beautiful Winter 2014 Paper Collection and cut it out with the Splendorous Star die.  Then I used pink glitter glue (stickles) to highlight the star and the inside of the frame!  That's it!  Quick and easy!

Gold Stars and Stripes X Two

Hi there!  Hope you all have a had a great week!  Can't believe we are already into November and the holidays are about to be in full swing!!!  Yikes!  I managed to play in this week's sketch challenge on Splitcoast.  And I am loving this new stamp set (His Birth) and matching dies (Sparkling Stars) and new paper (Winter Collection) from Our Daily Bread designs!  I used versamark and gold embossing powder to match the pretty papers.  I added stickles to the stars for just a little extra sparkle.

And since I had cut the paper to fit the sketch challenge, I had the opposite pieces ready to make another card!

This time I added the gold cording and added stickles and glitter for the sparkle on the stars!

I am entering one or both of these to 

the ODBDSLC217 to make a Holiday Card!  

Two more Christmas cards done y'all!!
