Hi everyone!  I am entering this into several challenges.

  

TSTR88-Shabby Pastel Christmas

SNTODBD48-Festive Christmas

IC311-SCS Inspiration Challenge

CCC11-Christmas Card Challenge November

  The sentiment is from one of this month's new sets by Our Daily Bread designs called Sacred Season.  I cut it out with a Spellbinders Labels Four.  I don't have a clue who the maker of the designer paper is but it's pretty!  It already has a shimmer to it and I embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder for extra texture.  The cut out behind the pink pearls and the white leaves are canvas cut outs that are sprayed with several shades of Glimmer Mists.  Well, the leaves are sprayed with Marshmallow and Dazzling Diamonds so not much color on those.  The flower is by Prima.  I wound gold cording around pink tulle and then attached the bow.  The tulle was glued down over the lace with Beacon glue. Thank you so much for stopping by!  Hope you have a wonderful weekend and see you again soon!

Together

Good morning!  I have another card to show you using two of this month's new releases from ODBD called Spool & Tape and Sewn With Love!  After coloring the image, I cut it out with the coordinating Spool & Tape Die.  I layered this over a Cheery Lynn French Pastry Doily that is framing the scripture that is stamped onto Spellbinders Circles.  I laced some ribbon through the doily, tied a bow and added two buttons.  The background designer paper is embossed with the Vintage Border Embossing plate and inked with Antique Linen distress ink.  Finally I sprayed it a couple of times with Gold Glimmer Mist!

This is for the following challenges:

WT337-Recycling

SNTODBD42-Something lacy

ODBDSLC74-Doilies

Thanks for stopping by!!  Enjoy your weekend!

ODBD Christmas Card Challenge

Good morning!  There is a new Stamping in Time with Betty posted on the ODBD blog this morning!  Betty's assignment is to make Christmas cards!  Well, that helped to get me going as I am committed to making Christmas cards all year long and had not met my commitment for June yet!  And today is the last day!!!  ARGH!!!  Anyway,  I kept it simple to make it go faster!  And I made ten!!   Wahoo!  Anyway, I used the Christmas Blessings set and stamped the sentiment in the blank area of the Cuttlebug embossing.  I added red rhinestones on some until I ran out, and did a few cards with silver rhinestones.  I made ten perfect bows with my Bow Easy and glued them on to complete the cards. 

The card bases are SU! Baja Breeze and the vanilla layers are by The Paper Studio.

  Thanks for stopping by today!  

We invite you to join us tomorrow for our monthly new release blog hop! 

See you there!!!

Happy Birthday Tag

Hello there!!  Playing again here!  My play time last night was therapy after a long day at work!  This took less than 30 minutes to create while watching television!  These new tags from Our Daily Bread designs help make things easy!  I used Mini Tags 3 set.  I cut out the Spellbinders Tag Trio Three die and the sentiment with the Spellbinders oval with my Grand Calibur.  I then ran the Webster's Pages designer paper through my Cuttlebug with the Kassie's Brocade embossing folder.  Then it was just a matter of putting everything together!    The card stock is Neenah Cream and SU! Blushing Bride.  I added Martha butterflies and ZVA pearls and pretty pink organdy ribbon.  I made the bow with my Bow Easy.  That's it!  Thanks for stopping by tonight!  Hope you have a great week and see you soon!

Butterfly Blessings and Prayers

Good Morning!  I have a couple of cards to show you today!  This first card is for two challenges!

SNTODBD34-Tag You're It!

SSCC87-No Designer Paper

The background is Core'dinations paper embossed with the Vintage Border Embossing Plate which was just released this month from ODBD.  I sanded the embossing to show the inner core of the paper.  The tag is made with another new ODBD set called Mini Tags 1, one of three new Mini Tag sets created by our own Lorelie Kim!  The ODBD butterfly and the tag are heat embossed with white embossing powder.  The beautiful lace is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  I added some Spellbinders Parisian Accents and pearls to complete the card!

For this card, I went a little artsy with a sheet from a Webster's Pages pack.  It is embossed with the ODBD Vintage Border Embossing Plate and rubbed with Tim Holtz Antique Linen ink pad to show the embossing.  The sentiment is from the ODBD Mini Tags 3 set stamped on a Spellbinders Scalloped Oval.  The edge was created with and EKSuccess punch, lace, pearls and trim.  I added Want2Scrap black bling and little pearls to the Martha butterflies to complete the card!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  See you again soon!

Silent Night...Oh Wait. It's Not Christmas!

But I am working on Christmas cards!!!  I joined the Christmas Card Challenge at SCS and I have committed to making 5-10 Christmas cards every month so that I will be ready ahead of time!!!  And these are also for current Stampin' in Time with Betty challenge-Christmas in February!!

And so I have six done for this month!  WooHoo!!!  Recently Our Daily Bread designs was part of the Heirloom Rubber Stamp Show near my home and I was so excited to be a helper in the booth!  I had a fabulous time doing Make and Takes with lots of wonderful ODBD customers!!!  And of course, while I was there I did a little shopping!!!  Kelley sells these wonderful Charlie's Ark Flower Soft card toppers.  Each pack comes with six toppers in a fabulous sepia tone with the sweetest images!  I added touches of color with copic markers in soft vintage shades.  A couple of toppers were trimmed down from the original size for variation.  And then little bits of Flower Soft was added for texture!  

Here are the supplies I used:

ODBD sets-Blessed Christmas and Peace and Joy

Flower Soft Card Toppers

Flower Soft Polar White and Sand

Neenah White and Neenah Cream card stock

SU! Baja Breeze card stock

Copic Markers

Lace and Buttons

Trusting...

Hi there!  Hope you are enjoying a beautiful Sunday!  I have two cards to share today!

  This first card is for three challenges:

MMSC90-Sketch

ODBDSLC47-Choose three(I chose ODBD image, embossing and distressing)

and

SNTODBD28-Distressing

Recipe:

Our Daily Bread designs stamp set-Anchor

SU! card stock-Always Artichoke

My Mind's Eye Kraft designer paper

Memento Brown ink, Versarmark and clear embossing powder

silver brads

Thread

Spellbinders square die and Grand Calibur machine

Tim Holtz distress ink

This card uses the new Wood Fish stamp that ODBD released this month.  It is colored with copic markers, cut out and attached to the oval with brads.  The oval is a Spellbinders oval.  I layered this over the embossed and sanded oval.  The paper is Core'dinations.  At the bottom I stamped the words from the Anchor set and cut them out with the SU! tag punch cutting off one end.  The words are lined up on the strip of Neenah cream paper which is also punched with SU! border punch.

Thanks for stopping by today!  See you again soon!

Snowflake Wishes

Hope you are having a great week so far!  I made this card tonight for the following challenges:

CC296-Poppy, Tempting Turquoise, White

TLC298-Stamping with water

SSCC64, Weather

ODBDSLC36-Cord

CT1010-Around the Compass

The background image is the new Snowflake Background from Our Daily Bread designs.  I sponged the turquoise ink and then stamped the background in water and dried it with my heat tool.  I stamped the sentiment from the new Mistletoe Tag set with Stazon Black ink.  I stamped the snowflake from the Peace and Joy set and cut it out with the matching die.  I punched two button holes in the snowflake and threaded the silver cord through to attach it.  I made the bow with my Bow Easy and sprayed the whole thing with Marshmallow Glimmer Mist!  This is pretty CAS for me huh?!  And you can bet I will be trying this stamping with water technique again!  Fun, fun!!  

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

The scripture is from the new set called Bless This Home by Our Daily Bread designs.  I framed it with this new Cuttlebug Embossing Plus called Chic Circle Frame (It embosses and cuts at the same time!) and a Spellbinders circle and scalloped circle.  I pierced the near the bottom above the border with Spellbinders Piercabilities that I have only used once!  The bottom border was done with the Spellbinders Renaissance Hearts Borderabilities.  I made the flower with several Prima flowers added together to create the blossom that I saw on Patter's blog recently. 

I sponged everything with Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Ink. 

All cardstock and designer paper is from SU!  The Martha butterflies, branches and  

Zva pearls finish the card!  Oh and the bow was done with my Bow Easy!

Stamping with Betty!

Good morning!!!  This is for the Stamping in Time with Betty on the Our Daily Bread designs blog.  Our assignment is to use any ODBD stamp and incorporate something old, something new and something received from a friend.  Well, my something new is this beautiful designer paper from DCWV called Linen Closet.  It's so pretty!  Stamping on the designer paper is one of my favorite things to do these days!  For my something old, I used ribbon that I have had in my stash forever!  It matches the paper nicely.  And for the other part of the challenge, I used a cross charm that I recently received from my ODBD sister, America!  What a sweetie she is!!!  I did use my shank remover to cut the little hanging loop off the charm so that I could just glue it on the bow.  I sponged the edges of the designer papers for an antique look and then just added the prima pearl swirls and a little prima flower!  The pearls are from a bigger pearl design and I just cut off the swirls I wanted to use for this card and will save what's left for another card!  

That's my little tip for the day!  Thanks for stopping by!!!

Here are the supplies I used for this card:

ODBD Friendship

Neenah Cream cardstock

DCWV Linen Closet designer paper

Spellbinders Ovals

Prima Pearls

Prima flower

Cuttlebug Vintage corner die

Tim Holtz Antique Linen ink

Stazon ink

Bow Easy and ribbon

Charm
