Looking Back at the ODBD May 2017 Release

Hello friends!  Today we are taking another look at the Our Daily Bread Designs May 2017 Release!  The Bread Stick Designers have been having a lot of fun making teacher appreciation cards and projects just in time for the end of another school year.

I decided to use the fabulous new stamps and dies from the May release to make a Surprise Box.

Creative Nugget:  Each panel of the Surprise Box was lined with papers from the Birthday Bash and Birthday Brights Collections. The sentiments are from the Seeds of Knowledge stamp set. The Notebook Paper Stamp and Die Duo was used for the front of the card and was cut down to fit the front of the box.  Dies used for the pop ups include the Clipboard Dies, A+ Apples, Balloons & Streamers, Bitty Borders, and the Mini Bow Dies, and the Clouds and Raindrops Die was used to make the seeds on the apple.  A piece of acetate was sandwiched between two of the magnifying glass die cuts.

Here are some other views of the A+ Teacher Surprise Box:

Here are the fabulous new products being released by

Thank a Teacher

Hello friends!  Another school year is coming to an end.  I just wanted to thank the many dedicated teachers out there who work tirelessly to provide outstanding educational experiences for the students in their classrooms!

Creative Nugget:  The Ways to Use It Challenge today on Splitcoaststampers was to use metal so out came some metallic card stock.  Alcohol inks were applied to one of the sheets from which the Teacher's Apples were die cut and the remaining piece was embossed for the background panel.  The small apple and the sentiment from the Seeds of Knowledge stamp set were stamped using Jet Black Archival Ink.  The clip of the clipboard, the paper clips, and the diagonal panel were cut from another piece of the gold metallic card stock.  Other custom dies from Our Daily Bread Designs used include: Notebook Paper Stamp & Die Duo, Clipboard Dies, Pierced Rectangles Dies, and the Lattice Background Die was used for the embossing.   The MOJO497 Sketch for this week was used for the design.

This card will be submitted for the following challenges:
