Welcome to the ODBD December 2016 Release

Hello friends, and Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs Release.  The December 2016 release is all about prayer, blessings, and pennants. The Breadstick Designers have made some beautiful samples using the new products to inspire you!

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 December 2, 2016 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 December 3rd, so be sure to check back there to see if you won!


My first sample was made using the new Pennant Flag Verses, the new Pennant Flag Dies, and the Blessings Border Die.


Creative Nugget:  Distress inks were used to water color a background to which the Majestic Medallion die cut was adhered after being cut with a Pierced Rectangle Die.  Paper from the Shabby Rose Collection was stitched to the top and other papers from the same collection were cut with the new Pennant Flag Dies. The larger pennants were matted with card stock cut with the Double Stitched Pennant Flag Dies.  Both sentiments from the Pennant Flag Verses stamp set were white embossed.  The Blessings Border Die was cut, sponged, and popped onto the card along with some little pearls and an organdy bow to finish the card.

My second sample was made using the Handle With Prayer and The Beatitudes stamp sets, and the Praying Border Die on a Lever Card.

Creative Nugget:  The panels of a pre-cut and scored Lever Card were lined with papers from the Christian Faith Collection.  The Beatitudes single was white embossed on a piece of mixed media paper and water colored with distress inks.  The praying hands from the Handle With Prayer stamp set were colored with Copic Markers, cut with the Praying Hands Die and popped onto The Beatitudes panel.  When opened, three other panels are displayed.

One of the sentiments from the Handle With Prayer stamp set was stamped onto a water colored panel, cut with a Squares Die, and matted with blue card stock cut with a Pierced Squares Die.  The Praying Border die cut was sponged while still in the die to add dimension and mounted to the last panel.  Pearls and a bow were added to finish the card.

  22. GASP Cathy!!! I don't know how you do it, but you blow me away every time! I love your Blessings card and especially with the majestic medallion bg die! I didn't get the Blessings die but I'm wishing I had. I adore your lever card too! Love how you used the hand on one panel, as I cut that piece off for my card and was wondering how I could use it. Must buy the lever card kit I think! :) Beautiful details and incredible work as always my friend! Thanks for always inspiring me!!!

    Grace
