  • Happy Birthday, Kelley! ODBD Surprise Blog Hop

    We are so excited today to be posting a special Birthday Wish to Our Daily Bread designs owner … Kelley Holland! This is a very special birthday for Kelley, as it’s the BIG 50!!!

    For my Birthday Card to Kelley, I’m using the fabulous Path of Life set. I knew it would be wonderful paired with the always terrific ODBD Exclusive Window Die by Spellbinders.

     

     

    The scene was colored with Copics and I attached the die cut window on top. I elevated it slightly to add some depth. For the background, I embossed some Williamsburg blue card stock I had in my stash with a Quickutz stripe label folder. I added a border embossed w/ a Cuttlebug border. The same border was used on the window sill piece. The flowers were made w/ hydrangea, small sun and small daisy punches. The punched tea cup was colored w/ Copics and added just because… Under the window I stamped the birthday greeting and added the curtains.

    Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs October Release Blog Hop! This month’s hop is all about the upcoming holidays: Christmas and Thanksgiving! We are excited to be sharing our projects with you today!

    If arrived here from the ODBD Blog, you are in the right place since I’m the first stop after the ODBD Blog.

    For my card, I’m using the fabulous new Apple Wreath set! Isn’t it wonderful? I just love the apples and boxwood branches. They go so well with my branch punch.

    After stamping, I colored the wreath in with Tombow markers. I stamped the apples twice more on another piece of white card stock and colored them with a combination of Copics and Tombows. Found out an interesting thing doing this and so here’s my Fun Dscovery Tip for You: If I lay down a light base color with the Copics (here I used FY1, Fluorescent Yellow Orange), then use the Tombows (water based markers) on top, the paper doesn’t pill or shred like it does when using water based makers and with heavy blending. The reason I did this, was because my Tombow red markers are so much brighter and clearer than the reds I have in Copic markers. And with the Copic base, they blended beautifully and easily with no paper shredding. So give it a try and mix things up!

    I was in a hurry so I opted to die cut the wreath w/ a scallop circle instead of fussy cutting. I used both the lg and sm scallop circles to cut out the dk green and kraft circles to back the wreath. On the white background, I used an embossing folder and on the narrower strip on the right, I stamped the wood background with the desert sand ink before embossing it as well. I added a narrow dk green layer to make it stand out a bit. The sentiment was die cut using a small tag die. I cut to the middle, took it out, turned the die around and cut the other end to the middle in order to get both ends the same. I added a few more punched branches behind it and a tied green straw like ribbon at the top of the wreath. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Congrats to Jackie (westie2), the Featured Stamper this week on Splitcoast (FS294)! What a fab gallery full of splendid designs! It was hard to pick just one, but I kept coming back to her You Make Me Smile. I was fascinated by the open holes and designer paper showing through. I kept the layout and design, but used different images, slightly different color and added a row of embossed dots across the center.

    I’m not quite sure how Jackie achieved the holey design,  but I did the holes in the bottom of my card with a long reach 1/2 inch hole punch. Pretty simple. In place of her yummy drink image, I used a Sizzix/Tim Holtz Wish die. I die cut it out of a separate piece of white then die cut that w/ a Spellbinders classic oval. I also used the ovals to cut out the card front opening and a piece of the raspberry dotted paper. I attached the Wish behind the dotted paper then to the inside of the card. The images are from Our Daily Bread designs and the greeting was stamped on the front next to the oval opening.

    The paper on the inside was stamped w/ a little flower image and I filled in the centers w/ a white gel pen. The lower corners of it and the card were rounded w/ a lg corner rounder. Just to make the oval cut out a little neater, I attached a die cut oval ring on the inside. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    Congrats again, Jackie! Thanks so much for stopping by!
