    Weekly-Favorite BEST OF 2013!

    Hello friends!  Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Design’s February Release Blog Hop! you might want to start at the ODBD Blog so you don’t miss a thing.

    I started by black embossing the Chalkboard onto white card stock, then used a brayer and a melon rainbow ink pad to roll on the colors.  I think it’s a great way to get a lot of color with very little effort. I also like how it reminds me of some of those restaurant chalkboards written with the neon chalk.  I  brayered another piece of white card stock and stamped the Honeycomb Background on top. With the big, bold solid centerpiece image, I wanted a more open image for the background so the honeycomb really fit the bill. After black embossing a smaller white piece with the Antique Labels Designs and Happy Birthday sentiment, I die cut it using the matching Antique Label die. I left the die in place and since it’s a much smaller piece, I sponged on the ink. I added a white layer behind the chalkboard, a yellow bow and my 4.25 x 5.50 card was finished.

    Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Congrats to Angela, the Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS311)! What a wonderful gallery she has! I chose her Have a Blast card to case. I kept the fun star theme and most of the colors, but used different images and turned mine into an angled trifold card.

    The images are from DRS Designs. The little cowboy was colored w/ Copics and I used the Out of the Box Nestie technique to die cut it. It’s attached to a larger Labels 8 with the sentiment stamped on either side.

    For the card, I took a 5.50 x 12 piece  of card stock (I actually used a piece of tag board because it comes in a 9 x 12 size) and scored it at the 4 and 8 inch marks. Then I cut an angle from left to right and attached a whole bunch of punched and die cut stars across the angled top. I attached some on both sides of the middle section since one side shows when open and the other side shows when closed. I also stamped the stars (before I attached them) with a background stamp called Material Maker Square. When you stamp it, turn the image 45 degrees or more, and stamp again,  I love how it resembles denim. I also used this same image around the card edge to make a border.

    Congrats again, Angela! Enjoy your week! Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Welcome to a Special ODBD Birthday Blog Hop! Today we are saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY to RICK!

    If you’ve been to one of the Stamp Shows or conventions, then you’ve probably seen Rick in the ODBD booth. Rick is Kelley’s husband and number one fan and today is his birthday!

    For my birthday card, I used the new Special Boy set. I figured this set was about as masculine as they get and works well for big boys as well as little boys. I made the background for the largest layer and truck image by swiping various colors of Copic markers across a piece of vanilla card stock. Then the truck image and tire tracks were stamped on top of these using the dk brown chalk ink. I fussy cut the truck and attached it to a deckled rectangle of vanilla to give it a bit of separation. The metallic bronze layer was embossed w/ a Sizzix folder and the sentiment was die cut and attached to a leftover strip of the background with small bronze brads. Since I wanted to have crossed checkered flags, I stamped one as usual and stamped one again on the plastic sheet of my SAMJ (stamp-a-ma-jig) then quickly pressed a piece of vanilla c/s on top to get the reverse image.

    Thanks so much for stopping by! Happy Birthday, Rick!
