ODBD January 2015 Release

Hello friends!  Happy New Year's!  I can't believe I'm writing 2015…where did 2014 go?  Our Daily Bread Designs has a very musical release for you this month with both beautifully delicate and grunge elements in the stamp sets.  There's even an embossable  pattern die perfect for creating backgrounds for all of your card making creations. As always, the Design Team has some awe inspiring samples to share, so be sure to visit all of their blogs!

Three randomly selected winners will each receive a $25 gift certificate to the ODBD Store, to be used toward the purchase of ODBD Stamps found in the "stamps column" of the website just for commenting on the Design Team cards!  You have until January 2, 2014 at 9:00 p.m. EDT to leave your comments on the Designers' Blogs for a chance to win!  The Winners will be posted on the ODBD Blog on January 3rd, so be sure to check back there to see if you won!

Here is my first project made with the new products:

Creative Nugget:  This music score image from the Music Speaks stamp set is so pretty and fun to color!  The bird was stamped in a different color, fussy cut, and popped up for dimension.  Pink, yellow, and green reinkers were used to create a watercolor background on mixed media paper.  This panel was then cut and embossed with the new Faithful Fish Pattern Die***SWOON***! The same colors were lightly sponged on a Neenah Solar Crest panel and cut with the Vintage Flourish Pattern Die.   The Vintage Label Dies were used to create a frame for the image.  A Mini Tag Die was used to make a little tag for the sentiment.  Some ribbon, metallic thread, and pearls were added to finish the card.

The new stamp sets and pattern die were perfect for creating a set of note cards.

Creative Nugget:  This Card Purse tutorial on Splitcoaststampers was modified to make a box to hold the note cards.  The Beautiful Border die was used to make some trim across the top of the box. The Vintage Label Dies, Matting Circle Dies,  Circle Ornament Dies, and Mini Tag Dies were used to make a label for the belly band that wraps around the box.

Four note cards in different colors were made using the new Just a Note stamp set.  The Faithful Fish Pattern Die was used to emboss the fish pattern on all four cards.

An envelope for each note card was made by stamping the music score image from the Music Speaks stamp set in the same color used on the card.

The four note cards and matching envelopes fit perfectly inside the gift box!
