Throwback Thursday - Glorious Gable Box

Hello friends!  It's time for another Throwback Thursday over at Divinity Designs and the feature for today is the Glorious Gable Box Dies which can be used to make a unique little gift box.

Creative Nugget:  Distress Oxide inks, Worn Lipstick, Wild Honey, Weathered Wood and Shabby Shutters, were smooshed onto the Circles Stencil, spritzed with water and pressed onto pieces of mixed media paper.  The Glorious Gable Box Dies were used to cut the pieces for the box from these papers.  Only one of the inserts were used to cut just the front of the box.  After assembling the box, the same inks  were blended onto another piece of mixed media paper.  The Small Bow Dies, the Bitty Butterfly Dies and the Bitty Blossoms Dies were used to cut the accents used to decorate the gable box.  The sentiment and banner are from the Wavy Words Stamp/Die Duo.  A few black pearls were added to the butterfly and the centers of the flowers to balance out the black on the embossed sentiment and finish the gable box.

To see more samples using the Glorious Gable Box Dies hop on over to the Divinity Designs Blog.

The gable box will be submitted for the following challenges:

Moving Along With the Times 92 - Sentiment Only

Welcome to the ODBD February 2017 Release

Hello friends!  Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs February 2017 Release!  Since February is the LOVE month, the new stamp sets being released are perfect for Valentine's Day, Weddings, Anniversaries, and any time you want to send a little love.  The Glorious Gable Box Die with all of the pretty inserts is wonderful for including a little chocolate treat along with your Valentine card.  The samples created by the Bread Stick designers are just beautiful and are sure to provide plenty of inspiration.

Three randomly selected winners will each receive a $25 gift certificate to the ODBD Store to be used toward the purchase of ODBD Stamps found in the "stamps column" of the website just for commenting on the Design Team cards!  You have until February 2, 2017 at 9:00 p.m. EDT to leave your comments on the Designers' Blogs for a chance to win!  The Winners will be posted on the ODBD Blog on February 3rd, so be sure to check back there to see if you won!

My first sample was made using the new Hugs & Kisses stamp set and the Tulip Heart Die along with the Layering Hearts Dies. 

Creative Nugget:  The front of the card was pieced with papers from the Heart & Soul Collection cut with a Pierced Rectangle Die. A border was cut with one of the inserts from the Glorious Gable Box Dies and was stitched to the card.  The sentiment is from the Hugs & Kisses stamp set and was embossed on a Layering Hearts die cut which was layered on the Tulip Heart die cut.  Some flowers and leaves cut with the Bitty Blossoms and Leaves and Branches Dies were added to finish the card.

My second sample is actually a little gift box made with the new Glorious Gable Box Dies.

Creative Nugget:  The Glorious Gable Box was cut with the inserts in place.  Paper from the Heart & Soul Collection was cut to line the inside panels of the box.  Two frames were cut using the Layering Hearts Dies and a charm was suspended between them. Flowers were cut, sponged, and added to the heart frame.  The sentiment from the Hugs & Kisses stamp set was embossed on one of the little Mini Labels and tied to the gable box handle.

ODBD Special February Pre-Order

Hello friends!  Our Daily Bread Designs is having a special pre-order for the new February 2017 release...just in time for your Valentine's Day crafting.  Get ready to be wowed by the beautiful samples today using the three new sentiment stamp sets, an adorable gable box die, and plenty of heart die options for creating cards and embellishing the gable box!

My contributions to the hop include a gable box
 and matching card.

Creative Nugget:  Sentiments from all three sentiment sets in the Loving Words Pre-Order Bundle were placed on my Misti and white embossed on a Neenah Panel.  Distress inks were sponged over the words.  A piece of paper from the Blushing Rose Collection as well as a matching piece of card stock were cut with one of the Leafy Edged Border Dies.  A piece of coordinating paper from the Blushing Rose Collection was cut with a Layering Hearts Die and adhered between the two Tulip Hearts die cuts, all part of the Gable Box Pre-Order Bundle.  A little seam binding ties everything together.

Creative Nugget:  The Gable Box Dies were used to cut the pieces needed for this adorable gift box and sponging was added to each panel while still in the die.  The insert dies were only used on the front two panels of the box.  The Layering hearts dies were used to decorate each side of the box.  A little tag cut with a Mini Labels Die was attached to the handle of the box.

Here is a view of the back of the box...

…and another view so you can see the sides.

The two bundles used to create this Valentine gift set are now available for pre-order at the Our Daily Bread Designs Store...
