Another Look at the ODBD June 2015 Release

Welcome, my friends!  Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs June 2015 Release.  Get ready to be inspired by our sunny creations and masculine cards perfect for the special man in your life made with the stamps and dies released earlier this month.  

Here is an Accordion Fold made with the new Good Man stamp set:

Creative Nugget:  A friend of mine gave me this verse over fifteen years ago while I was battling cancer…it has become my life verse and one of my very favorite verses in the Bible.  The Jeremiah verse from the Good Man stamp set became the focal point for this accordion card and was cut and matted using the Vintage Flourish Pattern Dies.  Three different patterns from the beautiful Vintage Ephemera Paper Collection were mounted on three sections of the accordion fold.  Since one of the papers from the collection is printed with the Wildflower Silhouette Background, the stamp was used on each panel.  Color was sponged on each panel to look like a sunrise.  The butterfly from Butterfly & Bugs was stamped several times, colored, and cut with the matching Butterfly & Bugs Die.  The card is tied closed with a piece of seam binding.

Here is a closer look at the back panel...

…and a better look at the opened accordion fold. 

These new products from the Our Daily Bread Designs Store were used to create this card…

Red & White for the Red Cross

Hello friends!  Clara Barton and a few associates founded the Red Cross 134 years ago today.  In honor of the Red Cross, The Ways To Use It Challenge today at Splitcoaststampers is to create a card using red & white.  Here is my card:

Creative Nugget:  All stamps and dies used on this card are from Our Daily Bread Designs.  The Daisy Chain Background Die was used to emboss some texture on the background layer which was matted with Pure Poppy Card stock and mounted to a Neenah Solar Crest card base.  Next, the Gingham Background was stamped with Pure Poppy ink.  The Layered Lacey Squares Die was cut for the sentiment and sponged while the label was still in the die.  The sentiment is from the new Spread Your Wings stamp set.  The little ladies from the Butterfly & Bugs mini stamp set were colored with Copic Markers and cut with the coordinating Butterfly & Bugs Dies.  Six layers of Asters & Leaves die cuts were used to form the flower and red seed beads were added to the middle of the flower.  A Fence border and several Pennants were added to follow Sweet Sunday Sketch 269 for this week.

This card will be submitted for the following challenges:

Time For a Ride...

…a bike ride, that is!  Hello, Friends!  Yesterday's CAS "Wheely" Challenge on Splitcoaststampers had me inking up an Our Daily Bread Designs image I've had for a while, but have never used.  This vintage bicycle scene brought back memories of learning to ride a bike when I moved from the city to the suburbs.  The girls in the neighborhood couldn't believe I had never ridden a bike before and it became their mission to teach me how.

Creative Nugget:  Since this is a Clean and Simple card, there's not really very much needed in the way of explanation.  After the Bicycle image was stamped and colored with Copics, a large Spellbinders Matting Basics rectangle was used to emboss a frame around the scene.  Two butterflies from the Butterfly & Bugs stamp set were colored and cut with the coordinating Butterfly & Bugs Dies.   Pink gingham from the Shabby Rose Paper Collection was used to mat the main panel before popping it up on a Neenah Solar Crest card base.  A little shimmer was added with a clear Wink of Stella marker to finish the card.

Here are the supplies from the Our Daily Bread Designs Store that were used to make this card:
