Welcome to ODBD April Release

Now that April has arrived, we're anxiously awaiting spring-like weather in our part of the country!  Hopefully we've seen the last of the SNOW!  Easter will be here before you know it, and the Our Daily Bread Designs Release this month is perfect for making Easter cards and decorations expressing the true meaning of the most important holiday for Christians everywhere.  The cross reminds us of the sacrifice our Savior paid for our redemption and this beloved symbol is the theme for many of the new products being released today! Be sure to check out all of the beautiful new stamp sets and dies at the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog and take a look at the many gorgeous samples made by the design team.

Three winners will be randomly chosen from the comments left on the designers' blogs to receive a $15 Gift Certificate to the ODBD Store to be used toward the purchase of ODBD stamps.  You have until April 2, 2014 at 9:00 p.m. EDT to leave your comments!  The winners will be posted on the ODBD Blog on April 3rd, so be sure to check back there to see if you won!

My first sample uses the Ornamental Crosses Dies, the Vintage Flourish Pattern Dies, the Flourish Label Borders stamp set, and the Christian Faith Paper Collection.

Creative Nugget:  The pretty patterned paper from the Christian Faith Paper Collection was mounted to Royal Velvet card stock and attached to a Vintage Cream card base.  The Vintage Flourish Pattern Die was sponged with distress ink and mounted on top to form the front of the card.  One of the Beautiful Borders and some seam binding were added across the middle of the card.  The labels from the Vintage Flourish Pattern Dies were stamped with the Flourish Label Borders and attached over the ribbon.  The Ornamental Crosses Dies were layered and several pearls added. The sentiment from the Happy Spring stamp set was stamped onto a tag from the Recipe Card & Tags Dies to finish the card.  I love how all the dies and stamps coordinate together so well.

My second card uses The Cross, Chalkboard Vine Background, Flourish Label Borders, Vintage Flourish Pattern Dies, Ornamental Crosses Dies, and the Christian Faith Paper Collection.

Creative Nugget:  Another one of the papers from the Christian Faith Paper Collection was mounted to Blue card stock and attached to a Select White card base.  The Chalkboard Vine Background was white embossed on mixed media paper and swiped through distress inks that were misted with water on a craft sheet.  Two strips were cut from this panel and stitched to Beautiful Borders cut from blue card stock.  The little Ornamental Cross was cut from a small piece of this panel as well.  The sentiment from The Cross set was stamped in gray ink on an Elegant Oval Die and mounted to one of the labels from the Vintage Flourish Pattern Dies.  Some seam binding and silver pearls finish the card.
