Welcome to the ODBD January 2017 Release

Hello friends!  Happy New Year…and welcome to the first new Our Daily Bread Designs Release for 2017!  The January Release includes pretty whimsical flowers, two new Bible Journaling sets that are also perfect for creating cards and bookmarks, seven fabulous die sets, and two beautiful new paper pads.  The samples created by the Bread Stick designers are beautiful and are sure to provide plenty of inspiration.

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, 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 January 3rd, so be sure to check back there to see if you won!

My first sample was made using the new A Happy Hello stamp set and some of the beautiful Plum Pizzazz Papers.

Creative Nugget:  Plum Pizzazz Papers were used to line the panels of the Tri-Shutter 2 card base.  The "Wrinkle-Free Distress Technique" was used to add color to some mixed media paper. The whimsical flower image from the A Happy Hello stamp set was randomly stamped using Archival ink and these pieces were cut to fit the front and back panels.  The sentiment on the front was embossed on a Plum Pizzazz paper and cut with the Pennant Flags and Double Stitched Pennant Flags Dies.  The Fancy Fritillary Die was used to cut butterflies for the front and back panels and pearls were added.  

The Art Deco Border was cut in half lengthwise and used for the top and bottom panels.  An additional sentiment from the A Happy Hello set was embossed and cut and framed with Oval, Pierced Oval, and Layered Lacey Oval Dies.  A narrow silk ribbon tied around the card keeps it closed.

My second sample is a Bible Journal page made with one of the new Bible Journaling stamp sets, His Timing.

Creative Nugget:  The Bible page from Ecclesiastes was prepped with two coats of clear gesso.  The clock from the Time stamp set was clear embossed twice.  Neocolor 2 crayons were used to watercolor the page and distress inks were added to age the page.  The clock was then stamped several more times with distress ink.  The His Timing image was stamped with Jet Black Archival ink and watercolored with the Neocolor 2 crayons.  A few splatters were added to finish the page.

How's it Growing?

Hello friends!  How's it growing where you are?  With all of the rain we've been having, everything has been growing…FAST…especially the grass.  Time to mow again!  LOL!  Hope your week got off to a good start.  Just popping in to share a quick card made with a new stamp set released by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.

Creative Nugget:  Winnie is back with a darling new stamp set called Winnie's Garden.  The TH rays stencil was used to sponge on the sun rays on the background.  A piece of flowery DP was stitched across the bottom to ground the images.  Winnie and the little flower were colored with Copic Markers.

Today is also my day to share on the SNSS Creative Worship Blog so I thought I'd share here as well.  The challenge this week in the Creative Worship Bible Journaling Facebook Group is to do a page in the book of Proverbs.  

Inspirational Nugget:  The wisdom in the book of Proverbs is so profound and perfect for navigating all the issues of this life…relationships, finances, family, the way we spend our time, our conduct…everything, but apart from God there can be no wisdom!  I need to seek His wisdom every day!

The products used on these projects can be found at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store:

The card above will be submitted for the following challenges:

Craftin' Desert Divas - In the Garden

Penny's Paper Crafty Challenge #275 - Sew Charming (Use sewing and or a charm)

Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes

Crafting From the Heart Challenge #110 - Anything Goes

Thanks so much for stopping by…have a wonderful day!

Welcome to the SNSS January 2016 Creative Worship Release

Hello, sweet friends…happy Friday!  Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps is releasing a new Lovin' God's Word Kit today which will be available for a limited time.  

The bundle includes two brand new Bible Journaling stamp sets designed by Krista Hamrick, a book mark designed by Rebecca Rios, and a few other crafty goodies.  This bundle will be available at a discount for only two weeks until Thursday February 11th.  After that, the stamp sets will be sold separately at the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Store at the regular price.

The Design Divas have been busy making fabulous samples with the products in the Lovin' God's Word Kit to inspire you, AND you will see that these stamps can be used for so much more than Bible Journaling!  Just think of all the ways you can use those adorable banners!

Here are two bookmarks using the His Word and Decorative Banners stamp sets in the Lovin' God's Word Kit...

…and the same stamp sets used on a Bible Journaling page:

Creative Nugget: The bookmarks were watercolored using SU! markers.  The Bible journal page was prepped with TriArt clear gesso and watercolored with Kuretake watercolors.  Markers and a white paint pen were used to add details.

These are the two stamp sets in the Lovin' God's Word Kit:

In addition to the two stamp sets in the kit, these stamp sets in the Creative Worship line were used to create the projects above:
