ODBD Scripture Blog Hop

Hello friends!  Thanks for joining us for the 

ODBD DT Scripture Blog Hop!  

ODBD has so many wonderful scripture verse stamp sets and today the Design Team would like to share a few of our favorites!  We hope you are inspired by our creations!

My sample uses one of the scriptures from the 
Scripture Collection 10 stamp set.

Creative Nugget:  Some beautiful paper strips from the Shabby Rose Collection and rose colored card stock were stitched to Smokey Shadow card stock to form the card front.  One of the Beautiful Borders Dies was used to make a scalloped border to separate the two sections of the card.  The card front was then mounted to a Vintage Cream card base.  The Vintage Flourish Pattern Dies were used to make the label for the scripture verse which was stamped in Watering Can Archival Ink.  The Fancy Foliage Dies were cut and stenciled to wrap around the verse.  The little flowers were cut from one of the dies in the Ornamental Crosses Die Set, sculpted, and added to the foliage to finish the card.

Here are the supplies from the
Our Daily Bread Designs Store 
that were used to make this card:

L-O-V-E

Good morning friends!  There are two GOOD things about lots of snow!  First... it's gorgeous before pollutants have had a chance to contaminate it…so clean, pristine, and pure! What a perfect picture of a person who has been forgiven of their sins.  Isaiah 1:18 says, "Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow;  Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool."  Aren't you thankful for God's mercy?

The second GOOD thing about snow is that work sometimes gets cancelled, and that means more "Stamp Time."  So, today I decided to play along with the Shining the Light Challenge over at the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog. The challenge this week is a recipe…include something on your card that begins with each letter in the word "L-O-V-E."

Here's what I came up with:

Creative Nugget:  Spellbinders dies and ODBD Custom Ornate Hearts Dies and Fancy Foliage Dies were used to create the layers on the front of the card which was stitched to a Vintage Cream card base.  The sentiment from the new Love You Bunches stamp set was white embossed on vellum and sponged with Antique Linen Distress Ink.  Flowers, lace, pearls, and ribbon make the card feminine and give it a touch of vintage.  Here's how my card creation spells "LOVE" :

L - Layers, Lace,  O - Oval, Ornate Heart Dies,  V - Vellum, Vintage,  

E - Embossing, Embellishments

The following supplies from the ODBD Store were used to make this card:

My card will be entered into the following challenges:

Many Colors of Fall

Hello friends!  I have just a quick post to share with you today...a tribute to the beautiful colors of fall.  Sadly, the colors of fall are quickly fading.  Almost all the leaves on our big sugar maple tree have fallen.  Soon the reds, oranges, yellows, and green will turn to brown and maybe white as snow begins to fall.  I love the colors of fall, so made two cards featuring these brilliant colors!

Creative Nugget:  This card was inspired by Cathy Tidwell's Many Colors card.  I was intrigued by the pretty pattern achieved with the pieces of the die she used, so used the same technique on my card using the Quatrefoil Pattern Die by Our Daily Bread Designs. Dylusions sprays were used on the background, and the Leaves Background was stamped over the pretty colors.  The Quatrefoil Die was cut in three different colors and pieced back together to create the pretty pattern.  A few leaves from the Thankful Song stamp set were cut out of the same background to decorate the front of the card along with a sentiment tag, seam binding, and some jute.

My second card used the same stamp sets as above.

Creative Nugget:  The chipboard frame was painted with gesso and a comb was used to create a curvy pattern.  When dry, Gelatos were rubbed on and pearls placed around the opening. The Leaves Background was white embossed on a piece of mixed media paper.  The Gelatos were rubbed on again and lightly wiped with a baby wipe to blend the colors.  The sentiment from the Thankful Song stamp set was embossed on a SB Decorative Labels Eight Die and Fancy Foliage Dies were used to frame the sentiment.  A seam binding bow was added before attaching the card front to a Kraft card base.

Here are the materials used on these two cards that are available at the 

Our Daily Bread Designs Store:

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy the last remaining days of fall splendor!  Stop back again tomorrow to see the new November Release from Our Daily Bread Designs!

Fruitful Blessings

Hello again, friends!  I just love a good sketch challenge...half of your planning is already done for you and it's a great source of inspiration.  This week Our Daily Bread Designs has a fabulous Shining the Light sketch challenge, so I decided to play along!

Creative Nugget:  I have been enjoying the new garden stamp sets released by ODBD this month.  For this card, the fruit baskets from the Garden Mini set were colored with Copic Markers, cut with a Classic Circle Nestie, and mounted on a Smokey Shadow Scalloped Circle after the piercing was done.  For the background, several of the Fancy Foliage flourishes were mounted to a Solar Crest panel and embedded with a Canvas Impression Plate...love this technique.  The Mint Julep DP by Webster's Pages was stitched to Smokey Shadow following the sketch.  Some seam binding was tied around the card front and some Fancy Foliage vines were added as accents.  The sentiment is from the Strawberries stamp set and was stamped directly on the DP.  I hope this card will be an encouragement to just the right person!

Here is the sketch and the materials from the 

Our Daily Bread Designs Store that were used:

Thanks so much for stopping by...Have a wonderful day!

Chocolate Dipped

Good morning, friends!  I have just a quick, delicious post for you today before I head off to work!  Last Sunday Heidi Baks was the Featured Stamper on Splitcoaststampers and I chose to CASE her Sketchy Hearts card, but changed the hearts to chocolate covered strawberries...yum!  Here is my take on her card:

Creative Nugget:  The Solar Crest panel was embossed with Swiss Dots and the banners at the bottom were made with Gingham stamped, Early Espresso, and Cherry Cobbler card stocks.  The delicious strawberries, from ODBD's newly released stamp set Garden Mini, were colored with Copic Markers and the tips covered with Glossy Accents.  A Fancy Foliage Die, also by ODBD, was cut and placed around the strawberries.  Flowers were punched and pearls added to the centers.  The sentiment is from the Strawberries stamp set and this panel was hand cut into a banner.  Some stitching down the side of the banners completes the card.  Doesn't this just make you hungry for some chocolate covered strawberries?

Here are the supplies used that are available at the 

Our Daily Bread Designs Store:

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope you have a berry sweet day!

ODBD New August Release

Good morning friends and stampers!  The summer is slipping by so quickly...here it is the beginning of August already and time for another fabulous release by Our Daily Bread Designs!  If you are a gardener or like canning your favorite fruits and vegetables, this release is for you!  We have four wonderful new sets, four mini sets and two die sets for you this month!

Creative Nugget:  For my first sample, the strawberry from the new Garden Mini stamp set was randomly stamped on the background.  The scalloped borders were made with the A2 Scalloped Borders One dies by Spellbinders, a Canvas Impression Plate, and a CB Swiss Dots embossing folder.  The Elegant Oval was stamped in Real Red and cut with the ODBD matching Elegant Oval die with the smaller layers cut with the same die set. The scripture from Galatians is from the new Peaches stamp set. A gingham bow and a few fussy cut strawberries colored with Copic Markers were added to finish the card.

Creative Nugget:  My second project is a little table basket created from a pattern on the Technique Junkie Newsletter 3D and Fun Folds Paper Crafts CD.  The Romantic Floral Design frame was white embossed on Groovy Guava card stock and cut with the matching Labels Twenty-Six Die.  The focal image is from the new Peaches stamps set and was colored with Copic markers. The vine flourish you see was made by a fabulous new die set also being released this month by ODBD, Fancy Foliage.  A bow and a little tag was added to complete the basket.  This little table basket was filled with Ginger Peach Tea....yummmmm!  A little 3D peach and a napkin ring complete the table gift set!

Here are the new and some older supplies used for these projects available at the ODBD Store: 

Kelley will be choosing one random winner from one of the designers blog comments to receive a $50 Gift Certificate to the ODBD Store to be used for the purchase of stamps.  You have until August 3, 2013 at 9:00pm EST to leave your comments on the designers blogs.  The winner will be posted on the ODBD Blog on August 4th, so be sure to check there to see if you have won!
