For my first card, I made a Christmas wreath on a pink woodgrain door. The wreath was made by using circle dies to make a ring then I die cut all the foliage from the Lovely Leaves dies, the little pinecones from the Fancy Foliage dies, and the little flowers from the Christmas Candles dies and attached them all to the ring. A white bow was die cut using the Small Bow die, added on top of the wreath & a large pearl brad (I colored it w/ a pink Copic) was attached in the center of the bow.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Supplies:

Stamps: ODBD –Wood Background, Jingle Bells, (Let it Snow –inside greeting)

Paper: Neenah white, scraps of pink, green & tan

Ink: Distress ink spun sugar, Versafine onyx

Accessories: ODBD Lovely Leaves, Flourished Star Pattern, Fancy Foliage,Small Bow, Christmas Candles dies, (ODBD Elegant Oval die- inside) , Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B, circles dies, silver liquid pearls, large pearl brad

On my second card, I used white heat embossing on tan (lt kraft) card stock. After embossing the beautiful Flourished Merry Christmas, I die cut it w/ one of the matting basics, used a large corner rounder punch on it then used the white ink around the edges & embossed it, as well.
The Snowflake Border was also white embossed then die cut. I added some white embossed snowflakes to accent the Medium Bow & upper corner. The larger one was die cut & the smaller two were fussy cut. A paper crimper was used on the white horizontal band.

Here’s a look at the inside.

Origami Bow

Posted on October 31, 2015 11:02 AM by Julie 1 Comment

This is for today’s Inspiration Challenge (IC517) & also for Robin’s HYCCT1520 challenge, Candy Stripers. Since I had promised Robin I would make something for her challenge, I purposely chose a red & white picture for the inspiration challenge. THIS is the picture I was inspired by.

Recently I came across a tutorial on how to create an Origami Bow.I just loved the way it looked so I cut a 5″ square of the striped paper & set out to fold the bow. I’ve done a little origami folding before so it was pretty easy. The bow will work on pretty much any size of paper as long as it is square. I did a couple of test sizes w/ copy paper first & thought the 5″ square was the perfect size for my card. This paper is medium weight, probably about 24#. I wouldn’t use paper that was very much heavier because the folds won’t stay. After I folded it, I did add some thin white strips on the edges of the bow part. The draping folds show white because this paper is striped on one side & white on the other. I also added a small white die cut bow on top. The textured white front was a leftover & had the square already cut out so I backed it w/ more of the stripe paper & liked how it looked like a present so I added a white strip down the center & attached the bow on top.

Here’s a look at the inside.

ODBD Mid October Release Another Look!

Posted on October 29, 2015 7:58 AM by Julie 2 Comments

Today we are taking another look at the Our Daily Bread designs Mid-October Release! The sets & dies are simply fabulous for Christmas & a must have for your collection!
My card today features the gorgeous Merry Mosaics dies & the original Peaceful Poinsettia dies. I just love the lacy, airy look of these new dies & they fit perfectly w/ the solid dies. I die cut them all out of white & the centers & leaves out of a combo of brushed gold metallic & the Winter collection paper.

For the top white panel, I used a lot of masking to stamp the All is Calm greeting. I inked the first line only, wiped off the A & replaced it w/ the Flourished Alphabet letter A. I did the same to the second line using the flourished B. I find it easiest when stamping only 1 line, to ink the line, wipe off the ink of the parts I don’t want to stamp, then cover the wiped off letter & second line w/ a piece of scotch tape because no matter how well I think I remove the ink, some always remains. This just makes sure it doesn’t ruin my project. The words were all gold embossed (one at a time, as they were stamped).
After the greeting was finished, I placed the panel into a dot embossing folder then put an embossing frame on top. The embossing frame has an oval opening that keeps the dots from embossing on top of the greeting. I’ve also done this by die cutting an oval out of a couple of card board frames and using the frames on top of the embossing folder. Either way works!

Here’s a look at the inside. I only had this one corner of the dp left over so I used it to frame the greeting which was die cut using the Vintage Label die.

Supplies:

Stamps: ODBD –Flourished Alphabet, Peaceful Deer, (inside- Christmas Tunes)

Paper: Neenah white, brushed gold metallic, dp (ODBD – Winter collection 2014)

Ink: Encore Ulitmate metallic gold pigment

Accessories: ODBD Flourished Star Pattern, Merry Mosaics, Peaceful Poinsettias, Christmas Candles dies, Spellbinders A2 matting basics A & B dies, detail gold embossing powder, Swiss dots embossing folder (Cuttlebug), Darice embossing frames
