Little Drops of Water...

I am just so excited that Our Daily Bread Designs has a specially made spellbinder's nestabilities just for this set! This Eternity stamp set includes the frame and three wonderful sentiments. The frame works perfectly in these wonderful ODBD Elegant Oval dies! I made this card for this week's ODBDSLC52 - Anniversary Challenge - to use Leather or Pearls!

Here I have stamped the frame in Marina mist, and the sentiment with Dusty Durango on some Prima paper. I cut it out and popped it up on some more wonderful prima papers. I then added some Zva Creative pearl flourishes and some wonderful lace and silk and dyed ribbon from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store!

Thanks so much for visiting today! Be sure to come back tomorrow for Our Daily Bread Designs 2nd Anniversary Blog Hop! You will love all the eye candy for sure!!

Fall Leaves

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!! I have a quick post for you today! I made this card with four challenges in mind. This week's Curtin Call color challenge, the sketch is from this week's Tuesday Morning Sketch, this week's Stamping Sisters in Christ - to have nature on your card, and this week's Our Daily Bread Designs Spotlight Challenge - to use leaves on your creation!

For my card, that background was stamped with the newly released Wood Background and then sponged with a bit of Cajun craze ink. The leaves are from the Rand's Song set. They were stamped cut out and then sponged with Cajun Craze and More mustard inks. I then cut out the circle on the front of the card, which is framed with a lacey circle nestabilties, and the sentiment was stamped on the inside of the card. To finish off the card, I added some olive ribbon and two olive crystal brads!

Thanks so much for visiting today! Have a great weekend!

Know God - Bright White!

Hello! I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! I decided to create this card for two challenges...ODBDSLC30 - Bright and White....to create a card with lots of white...the only color can be on you image, and your embellishments, and C4C55 - this great sketch!!

The sentiment is from the Peace set from Our Daily Bread Designs. It is then surrounded by the brocade borders image, and cut out with the brocade border die. I then layered that on a Beaded Circle nestabilities. The background strips are dry embossed with the swiss dots embossing folder. To add a bit of color I added some blue ribbon in between the swiss dots background, and some mini blue gems from Zva Creative.

Thanks so much for visiting today! Have a great day!

50th Wedding Anniversery!

Hi there! I was in need of a 50th Wedding Anniversary card for Parents of some good friends of mine...so out came all my gold trimmings!! I made this card with a few challenges in mind. First for SNTODBD18 - to use ribbon and lace, ODBDSLC29 - Sparkle, and the sketch is from Mojo Monday #156.

The background was created with the Brocade Background image from Our Daily Bread Designs stamped with Gold Encore Ink. The sediment was also stamped with Gold Encore ink. I then sprayed all of the layers with iridescent gold glimmer mist to add an all around sparkle. The border punch is the eyelet border punch from SU! The sheer gold ribbon is from May Arts, the pearl flourish and the mini flowers are from Zva Creative.

Wanna see some more inspiration? Head on over to my fellow ODBD DT members to see what they have come up with for the SNTODBD18 challenge!

Darkness Can Not Put out the Light!

I hope you all are having a great weekend! I sure am...it has been full of stamping! What more could I ask for! Today I made a card for this week's ODBDSLC24 - to add texture to your card! I also used last week's CPS181 for the sketch!

As you can see the texture I have for this card is the fun ribbon from May Arts, and the wonderful antique brads from SU! The sentiment is from the newly released Light set which is surrounded by one of the Flower Frames from Our Daily Bread Designs. I cut the sentimetn panel out with a Labels 8 nestablities. The DP is from Basic Grey's Capella Package, and to finish off the card, I rounded all the corners with my Zutter 1/2" corner rounder.

Oh now before I head out...I want to show you a bit of a sneak peek from next month's ODBD release...we are only giving snippets of our card this month...like a slice of bread if you will! :) Hope you enjoy this one...I will post the full card after the Blog Hop next week, which will be on September 1st!!

Thanks so much for visiting today! I hope you have a great weekend!

MOJO150 & ODBDSLC24- Don't Worry!

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend! Wow, I can't believe I have not posted since Monday! Busy week!! Well I really wanted to stamp today, so I went searching for a card sketch to help get motivated, and this week's Mojo Monday sketch did the trick!! I also decided to work in this week's Our Daily Bread Designs Shining Light challenge #24...to use three of something on my card!

For today's card, I decided to use the newly released Don't Worry Set from Our Daily Bread Designs! LOVE this butterfly image, which was stamped with memento black and colored with copics, and then sponged with a bit of Baja Breeze Ink. For the ODBCSLC24 - to use three of something on your card, I used three different DPs from the Kioshi collection from Basic Grey. The bottom edge of the card was punched with the Flower Bed Deep Edge Punch from Martha Stewart. To finish off the card, I added the sentiment, two blue crystal brads from Zva Creative and some green satin ribbon.

Thanks so much for visiting today! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

ODBDSLC2 - Vintage Chickadee

I made this card for this week's ODBDSLC2 challenge - to use Red or Pink and Bling! When I saw these wonderful bird sets from Our Daily Bread Designs, I knew that I had to use one of them with this wonderful birdcage paper from Basic Grey's Porcelain DP!!

I stamped an colored the image with copics, and then sponged around the image with some tattered rose and worn lipstick distress inks. I then framed the image with some vellum paper pierced with an Ornare template, which you can see a bit better on this close up picture. To finish off the card, I added a bit of fun pink fibers and some flourished pearls from Zva Creative.

Thanks so much for visiting! Have a wonderful day!!
