Welcome to the ODBD May 2017 Release

Hello friends!  Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs May 2017 Release!  It's about that time to begin thinking about the end of another school year.  This month, ODBD is honoring teachers.  The stamp sets and dies being released are perfect for creating projects for that special secular or Bible teacher.  Of course the apples being released would be appropriate for any greeting throughout the year. Wait until you see all the fabulous gifts the Bread Stick designers have prepared for your viewing!

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 May 2, 2017 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 May 3rd, so be sure to check back there to see if you won!

My first sample was made using the new Class Act stamp set.

Creative Nugget: Yellow card stock and paper from the Chalkboard Collection were cut with a Pierced Rectangle Die and layered onto the card base.  The stack of books image from the new Class Act stamp set was colored with Copic Markers in primary colors, cut with a Pierced Ovals Die and mounted to a red Oval.  The Clipboard Die was used to cut the chalkboard and distress inks were swiped across the kraft card stock to make it look like wood.  The sentiment was white embossed on Chalkboard Collection paper and mounted to the base of the chalkboard.  A Layering Heart, a Mini Stitched Heart, a Pennant Flag, and a Double Stitched Flag dies as well as some red Baker's twine were used to complete the card.

My second sample is a Book Fold Card made with the Class Act stamp set, The Notebook Paper Stamp and Die Duo, and the Clip Board Dies.

Creative Nugget: Chalkboard Collection papers, and kraft, red, white and metallic silver card stocks were used to layer the panels of the Book Fold Card and create the teacher tools.  The Clipboard Dies were used to create the adorable clipboard and paper clip while the Notebook Paper Stamp and Die Duo was used for the paper clipped to the board.  The Class Act stamp set was again used for the image and the sentiments.  The A+ Apples die cut and some red Baker's twine were added to finish the front of the book.

Teacher tools and sentiments can be seen when the book is opened!
