Hello Friend - DD Color Challenge

Happy Saturday, everyone!   It's time for the Divinity Designs Color Combo Challenge. This month we are using colors inspired by the papers from the Beautiful Blooms Paper Pad.

I have chosen to use the the Hello Friend Stamp/Die Duo for my sample.  

Creative Nugget:  The card base was cut with the Double Display Card Dies and the Beautiful Blooms papers were cut with the Double Display Layers Dies.  I also used the Belly Band Dies to create a belly band to hold the card closed.  The sentiment from the Hello Friend Stamp/Die Duo was embossed on a panel cut with a Circle Die and layered to a Scalloped Circle die cut. Leaves from the stamp set were colored with Copic Markers, cut with the coordinating die and added to embellish the sentiment.

The card opens to reveal a couple flowers from the Hello Friend Stamp/Die Duo which were colored, cut and added to the inside sentiment panel to finish the card.

This card will be submitted for the following challenges:

Two for Tuesday: Hello Friend

Hello friend!  It's time for another Two for Tuesday feature over at the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog.  I chose to use the Hello Friend Stamp/Die Duo set for both of my cards.

Creative Nugget:  The CAS version of the card was made with all white layers cut with Pierced Rectangle Dies and Double Stitched Rectangle Dies.  Copic Markers were used to color the peonies which were cut with the coordinating dies from the Hello Friend Stamp/Die Duo.  Pearl accents were added to finish the card.

Creative Nugget:  Papers from the Blushing Rose Collection were added to the stepped up version along with layers cut with Lavish Layers Dies.

Looking Back at the ODBD January 2018 Release

Hello friends!  Today we are taking another look at the beautiful Our Daily Bread Designs January 2018 release.  I created a center step card using the new Center Step A2 Card Die and the coordinating Center Step A2 Layers Dies for my sample. 

Creative Nugget:  The card base was cut with the Center Step A2 Card Die and the panels layered with papers from the beautiful new Romantic Roses Paper Pad were cut with the Center Step A2 Layering Dies.  The beautiful peonies are from the new Hello Friend Stamp/Die Duo and were colored with Copic Markers. The sentiment was embossed on an oval panel cut with an Oval Stitched Rows Die and mounted to an Ornate Ovals die cut.  The die cut flowers were then arranged around the sentiment with some of them popped up with foam tape for dimension.  A sheer bow was added to finish the card.

These new products from the Our Daily Bread Designs Store were used to create the card above:

Peonies for You

Hello friends!  We are in the midst of winter here on the east coast, but flowers are blooming over at Our Daily Bread Designs.  Who doesn't love playing with new toys...I had fun coloring this trio of peonies from the new Hello Friend stamp set, and even though it looks and feels like winter outside, this card makes me think of spring!

Creative Nugget:  The Hello Friend peonies were colored with Copic Markers and cut with the coordinating die.  The flowers were mounted to Circles die cuts.  Panels of papers from the Romantic Roses Paper Pad were cut with a Pierced Rectangles Die and stitched together to make a pretty background for the peonies.  The sentiment was embossed and an organdy bow added to finish the card.

Be sure to pop on over to the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog to see more beautiful flowers in bloom!
