Looking Back at the ODBD November 2015 Release

Welcome, my friends!  Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs November 2015 Release.  Get ready to feast your eyes on some beautiful Christmas projects the fabulous Breadstick Designers have prepared for you today using the new November stamps and dies from Our Daily Bread Designs!

The new Born This Day stamp set was used to create this Twisted Easel card.

Creative Nugget:  After creating the Twisted Easel card fold, black card stock and papers from the Christmas Collection 2014 were mounted to each panel along with a piece of sponged Neenah Solar Crest paper cut with one of the Layered Lacey Square Dies. Mixed Media paper was sprinkled with Bister pigment powders and spritzed liberally with water.  The Bister colors contain granules of brown and sepia which produce a more aged and vintage look than some of the other pigment powders that are available.  When dry, Born This Day was stamped over the panel with Jet Black Archival inks.  The new Small Bow Dies and Lovely Leaves Dies were used to create a corner accent for the card front.  Some loopy twine was placed under the bow and a rhinestone placed on the star burst to finish the card.

Here is the Twisted Easel card opened.  The inside panel was layered the same as the front.  The Babe was stamped, colored, and cut with Matting Circle Dies and popped up onto the corner to hold the easel open.

One of the sentiments from The Babe was stamped in the upper corner to finish the inside of the card.

Here are the new products from the Our Daily Bread Designs Store used to make this card...

Everything's Turning Up Gold!

Hello friends!  Metallics seem to be a current trend, especially gold, so my card for today was made for several gold challenges and of course to add to my Christmas stash!

Creative Nugget:  Freshly Made Sketch 211 was used for the design of this card and the colors came from the Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light Color Challenge for this week.  The new Flourished Merry Christmas stamp by ODBD was masked, stamped repeatedly, and gold embossed on the card front.  A circle was cut from the side and a little gold frame made using the Circle Ornament and Matting Circle Dies.  The card front was popped up onto a Boho Background die cut and some Christmas Collection 2015 paper.  The poinsettia was made with the Peaceful Poinsettia, Merry Mosaics, and Lovely Leaves Dies.  All of the gold on this card was embossed so everything matches.  Metallic gold thread and gold pearls were added to finish the card.

(Links to the products used will be added when the web site is back up.)

The shine of the gold can be seen a little better with this view.
