Looking Back at the ODBD April 2017 Release

Hello friends!  Today we are looking back at the Our Daily Bread Designs April 2017 Release.  The Bread Stick Designers have created more beautiful samples using the fabulous new dies and flower stamp sets for your inspiration.

I've created another Lantern and card gift set for my sample.

Here is a closer look at the lantern...

Creative Nugget:  Five panels were cut with the Luminous Lantern Die, one with the inserts which was used for the front panel.  Paper from the Chalkboard Collection was cut with a Lavish Layers Die and triangles were traced from the Luminous Lantern Die and fussy cut to layer onto four sides of the lantern. The lantern was assembled with the flaps at the top folded in and tied with ribbon.  The new Rose Dies and Rose Leaves Dies were used to make the flower on the front and a little LED votive was placed inside the lantern.

...and the card:

Creative Nugget: The Lattice Background Die was used to cut some black card stock which was adhered to paper from the Chalkboard Collection.  A section of this panel was cut away and the two remaining sections were stitched to another layer of black card stock cut with the largest Pierced Rectangle Die.  The sentiment from the Lovely Flower stamp set was white embossed.  The Rose Dies and Rose Leaves Dies were again used to make the flower and buds which were mounted to a Fancy Foliage die cut.  Some sheer ribbon and a bow were added to finish the card.

Here are the new products from the

My first sample was made using the new To My Friend stamp set (**LOVE**) and the Lattice Die.

Creative Nugget:  The dandelions from the To My Friend stamp set were randomly white embossed on a piece of kraft card stock.  Neenah card stock cut with the Lattice Background Die was adhered to the kraft panel.  Double Stitched Rectangles and Rectangles Dies were used to cut a frame from another piece of kraft card stock.  The sentiment was white embossed at the bottom of this panel.  The dandelions were then white embossed on a piece of vellum and sandwiched between the lattice panel and the Kraft frame.  Beautiful Borders were stitched to the edges of the craft panel.  Ribbon, twine and some glittery enamel dots were added to finish the card.

My second sample is a matching lantern gift box made with the Luminous Lantern Dies.

Creative Nugget:  After using the Luminous Lantern Die to cut a piece of Kraft card stock, Rectangles were cut from each side. The dandelions from the To My Friend stamp set were white embossed on four pieces of vellum and attached to the inside panels of the lantern.  White frames cut with Rectangles and Double Stitched Rectangles Dies were attached around each of the vellum panels.  A Little LED votive was placed inside the lantern and the top was gathered and tied from the inside.

Here is the matching gift set:
