Taking Another Look at the ODBD September Release

Welcome, my friends!  Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs September 2015 Release.  Get ready to feast your eyes on the beautiful projects that the fabulous Breadsticks have prepared for you today using the new September stamps and dies from Our Daily Bread Designs!

Here is a sample made with the new Under the Sea stamp set:

Creative Nugget:  The three different panels were cut with the Leafy Edged Borders and matted with brilliant blue card stock. The yellow panel was sprayed with Dylusions ink sprays and embossed with the Sunburst Background Die.  The middle panel was made by pressing different blue distress inks on a stencil, squirting it with water, and pressing it onto a piece of mixed media paper and embossing it with the Faithful Fish Pattern Die.  The final panel was cut from a piece of paper from the Vintage Ephemera Collection.  The dolphin image from the Under the Sea set was stamped, colored with Copic Markers and cut with a Spellbinders Matting Basics Die.  A mask cut with the Clouds & Raindrops Die was used to sponge the clouds.  Some jute and a small shell were added to finish the card.

Here are the new products from the Our Daily Bread Designs Store used to create this card…

Our Daily Bread Designs September 2015 Release

Hello friends!  Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs September 2015 Release!   From oceans deep to household pets, if you are an animal lover, you will love the new stamps and dies being released this month by Our Daily Bread Designs.  Get ready to see some adorable pets and beautiful and colorful coral reefs from the talented Breadstick Designers!

Here are my projects using several products from this month's release:

Creative Nugget:  My first card is made with the new Deep Waters stamp set.  The "Wrinkle Free Distress Technique" was used to make the background and while still wet, course salt was sprinkled on and left to dry.  When dry, the salt was rubbed off and the piece was embossed with the Faithful Fish Pattern Die.  The Fishing Net Background was white embossed on another panel and distress inks were sponged over the embossing.  This was cut with the Layered Lacey Square Die and added to the corner of the card.  An embossed piece of Kraft card stock was torn and added to the bottom of the card.  The image was colored with Copic Markers, cut with the Stitched Oval Die and mounted to an Oval die cut.  Cheesecloth was attached to the back of the card before adhering it to the card.  The coral was cut from scraps left over from other projects with the Fancy Foliage Die and tucked under the Kraft layer.  The sentiment was stamped on a Mini Tag Die and tied to the card front to finish the card.

My second card was made on one of the pre-cut and scored Book Fold Cards using both the Deep Waters and the Under the Sea stamp sets.

Creative Nugget:  Paper from the Beautiful Boho Paper Collection along with KaiserCraft papers were used to line each of the panels on the card.  The papers were embossed using the Sunburst Background Die and a Beautiful Border was added between the layers.  The image from Deep Waters was lightly stamped in Frayed Burlap Distress Ink and the sentiment was stamped over the image.  This was cut and mounted to Ovals and Stitched Ovals,  Gold Baker's Twine and Pearls were added to finish the front of the card.

Images from both the Deep Waters and Under the Sea stamp sets were colored with Copic Markers, cut, and mounted to Ovals and Stitched Ovals.  They were then mounted onto the pop-up book portion of the card.  The grass and coral were also cut from scraps found in my stash using the Grass Border Die and the Fancy Foliage Die.  Pearls were added to finish the card.
