Looking Back at the ODBD November 2016 Release

Hello friends!  Today we are taking another look at the Our Daily Bread Designs November 2016 Release.  Christmas is creeping up on us and today we have some more beautiful Christmas inspiration for you made with the new products released this month by ODBD.

Here is my card using Jingle Bell Time, Christmas Ornament, and the Holly Jolly Paper Collection:

Creative Nugget:  The pre-cut and scored Lever Card base was layered with red card stock and papers from the Holly Jolly Collection.  The bells from the Jingle Bell Time stamp set were colored with Copic Markers and some gold glimmer glaze was splattered on for some shimmer.  The sentiment was cut with a Pierced Rectangle Die.

The Merry Christmas Border Die was cut and layered three times and adhered to the third panel.  Sentiments from the Christmas Ornament stamp set were cut with Rectangles Dies and one of the Snow Crystals die cuts was added to finish the fourth panel.

Here are the stamps and dies from the ODBD November release used to make this card:

Christmas Greetings

Hello friends!  The Mojo Monday sketch provided the perfect inspiration for another Christmas card.

Creative Nugget:  Love coloring this jingle bell image from the Jingle Bell Time stamp set released this month by Our Daily Bread Designs.  The pretty paper is from the Christmas Collection 2015.  Pierced Squares Dies, Layered Lacey Ovals Dies, and Ovals Dies were used to cut and matt the main image and the sentiment. Lovely Leaves die cuts and a Flower Lattice die cut were used for the accents on the sketch.

My second card was also made using stamps and dies from Our Daily Bread Designs.

Creative Nugget: The tree from the Joys of the Season stamp set was colored with Neocolor 2 Crayons and spirited with water before stamping on the card front.  The same tree and the sentiment were then stamped in Elegant Eggplant ink.  The paper behind the aperture is from the Christmas Card Collection 2016 and the dies used include the Holy Night Die, Pierced Circles Die, and a Circle Die.  A little sponging was added to create snow drifts and tiny gems add a touch of sparkle. 

These cards will be submitted for the following challenges:

Welcome to the ODBD November 2016 Release

Hello friends!  The countdown to Christmas is on the way at Our Daily Bread Designs.  The November 2016 release includes one Stamp & Die Duo, two stamp sets, three fabulous dies, and a new Christmas paper collection!  The ODBD Designers have made some stunning samples for your Christmas inspiration.

My first sample was made using the new Merry & Bright stamp set, the Snow Crystals Dies, and the new Snowflake Season Paper Collection.

Creative Nugget: The new Snowflake Season Paper Collection is so pretty in pink, I had to use a little bit of all of it…stitched to some gray card stock for contrast.  The hanging snowflakes were cut with the new Snowflake Crystals Dies and embossed with clear glitter embossing powder so they really sparkle.  The sentiment from the Merry & Bright stamp set was white embossed on vellum and framed with borders cut with the Ornate Ovals and Ovals Dies.  Little metallic thread bows and gems were added to finish the card.

My second sample was made using the Jingle Bell Time stamp set, the beautiful Snowflake Sky Dies, and the Snowflake Season Paper Collection.

Creative Nugget: The card front was layered with Snowflake Sky die cuts that were sponged with a hint of blue before removing them from the dies. The beautiful bells from the Jingle Bell Time set were colored with Copic Markers, cut with a Circle Die, and matted with a Pierced Circle die cut.  The Doily frame was accented with a few banners cut from Snowflake Season papers and pink card stock.  Gems and silver cording were added to finish the card.
