ODBD November Release Blog Hop!

Posted on November 1, 2012 7:58 AM by Julie 110 Comments

Hello my friends! Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs Nov. Release
Blog Hop! You might want to start at the ODBD Blog so you don’t miss anything!

For my card, I used the fabulous new Chickadee Ornament!

I also used the lovely O Christmas Tree Carol from last month’s release. the pine branch/pinecone from Sing for Joy and the sweet little Chickadee w/ matching die.

After stamping the ornament and chickadee, I die cut the ornament w/ a circle die and the backing gold layer w/ a larger circle. I used the matching die for the chickadee (such a fabulous time saver!) and added a little color w/ copics. The pine branches were fussy cut. Originally, I had a separate background using the music background, but it just didn’t work so instead I stamped it w/ gold ink directly on the white card front. I thought I still needed a little separation between the main images and background, so I die cut a pine green frame and added a little texture. I just happened to have the red ring (from another project) and it was the right size so I added it inside the frame edge. Instead of adding another layer, I sponged the gold ink around the edges of the card front. A little gold bow w/ some added pine branch cut outs on top finished my 4.25 x 5.50 card.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sail Away ODBD Alumni Hop!

Posted on July 19, 2012 7:58 AM by Julie 27 Comments

Welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs Alumni Team’s bi-monthly For the Love Blog Hop. You may want to start at the ODBD Blog so you won’t miss a thing! This week the Alumni team along with some of the ODBD designers are featuring a hop For the Love of ODBD embossing plates!

Embossing plates are a little different from embossing folders, but there are a number of techniques to really show them off. I love distressing the embossed card stock with a sanding block to bring out the little embossed fish. I made sure to use a white core card stock so that when embossed and sanded, the embossed fish would really show up. Before I embossed it, I also added a little ink to the c/s and afterwards, I really roughed up the edges.

I paired the embossed fish panel with this wonderful new ship from Surging Sea and sentiment from Smooth Sailing. Water colors were used on thin water color paper (think kid’s w/c pad), then the image was stamped and bleached. Since I was into distressing, I continued on w/ roughing up the edges and even tore a bit off one corner. The sentiment was die cut w/ a little pennant die and also distressed. The white x’s on the orange dp were added w/ a white gel pen. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Nautical Vignette

Posted on February 17, 2012 9:52 PM by Julie 5 Comments

I loved today’s Inspiration Challenge (IC324) site and I was so happy to make a sample for Stef! I chose This for my inspiration. Instead of the beautiful colors they used, I just went w/ a more distressed look but I really loved the triple vignette layout.

All images are Our Daily Bread designs. I stamped the lighthouse twice and selected different areas of it and also the mighty sea scene. I used circle dies to cut them out and for the maroon frame, I used two sizes of circle dies to cut out the “porthole” frames.

I stamped portions of the hymn on the crackled looking dp and distressed the edges w/ a tool and also w/ the tea dye ink. The netting was added on the left and the finished card fits in a #10 business envelope.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: ODBD- The Mighty Sea, All is Well Hymn, Keep My Lamp Burning

Paper: vanilla fiber, dp (very old paper pad from ProvoCraft)

Ink: Ancient Page cobalt, Distress Ink tea dye

Accessories: Spellbinders circles dies, Tombow markers, netting ribbon, distressing tool
