Looking Back at the ODBD March 2016 Release

Welcome, my friends!  Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs March 2016 Release.  Oh my lucky stars and keys will be featured as you hop along to the different Bread Stick Designers today.

My sample today uses the wonderful new Key to Happiness stamp set.

Creative Nugget:  I found this Gelli print in my stash and thought it looked like an old wall or door so the door from the Ask, Seek, Knock set was stamped on the print using Jet Black Archival ink.  The sentiment from Key to Happiness was black embossed on a scrap piece as well.  The stones around the door were colored with Copic Markers to match the colors of the Gelli print.  Double Stitched Rectangles Dies, the Flourished Star Pattern Die, and Filigree Frames Dies were used to cut each of the panels.  A key ring and keys were cut using the Keys Dies, covered with Glossy Accents, and hung on the door.  Seam binding and black pearls were added to finish the card.

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

…and some old favorites:

Welcome to the ODBD March 2016 Release

Hello friends!  It's time for the Our Daily Bread Designs March 2016 Release!  Our Daily Bread Designs is releasing two versatile new stamp sets that can be used all year long and some wonderful dies that can be used with the new stamp sets.

My first sample was made using the Superstar stamp set and some of the new dies.

Creative Nugget:  The background paper on the front of the card was cut with the Flourished Star Pattern Die.  Double sided paper was used to create the pleated skirt which was stitched onto the bottom of the card.  You can find a tutorial for the pleated skirt HERE under the Tutorials Tab on Splitcoaststampers.  The sentiment from the fun new Superstar stamp set was embossed and sponged on a panel that was cut with the new Double Stitched Square Dies.  The star frame was cut from the Sparkling Stars and new Double Stitched Star Dies.  A few other stars cut with the Sparkling Star Dies were covered with Glossy Accents and scattered on the card.  Twine was dyed and tied across the pleats to finish the card

For my second sample, a door was created on a Double Display Card to complement the new Key to Happiness stamp set.

Creative Nugget:   Rustic papers were impressed with a woodgrain pattern and used to line each of the panels on the Double Display Card.  The door panels were cut with the new Squares and Double Stitched Squares Dies and the previously released Rectangles and Double Stitched Rectangles Dies.   The sentiment from Key to Happiness and the mat were cut with the Circles and Double Stitched Circles Dies.  The new Keys Dies were used to cut all of the keys on the card, some of which were also embossed.  Some of the Liquid Platinum embossing powder was rubbed off prior to heating to give a more rustic look.

The double doors open to reveal the inside of the card.  Keys were hung from key rings on the side panels.  Another sentiment from Key to Happiness was embossed and matted with one of the Layered Lacey Squares.  The Gilded Gate was embossed and adorned with some of the Bitty Blossoms and Lovely Leaves.
