Welcome to the ODBD July Release Blog Hop! We have been having fun playing with these sets and I know you will too! If you arrived here from Sandee’s blog, then you’re in the right place. If not, you may want to jump over to the ODBD Blog and start from there.
Since it’s the Independence Day holiday weekend here in the USA, we’re going to keep the hop real simple! There are no secret words to collect, no email to send to me… just a fun blog hop!
Here’s the fun part! There are THREE prizes of WINNER’S CHOICE ONE FREE SET, but they are hidden on three different designer’s blogs! You won’t know who has the prizes!
For my card, I’m using two of the new sets, Our Daily Bread and The Living Bread. This is one of those cards that hardly resembles the idea I started with this morning. I woke up with a clear picture of the card I wanted. Maybe I’ll get to that one another day since this definitely isn’t it, lol.
The wheat cross was stamped with a combination of lt brown and palm leaf inks then the verse was stamped with evergreen pigment ink. It’s attached to a slightly larger green panel and both have the edges rounded. The punched tan layer has the edges sponged. Remember those hand held ribbon punches? I remembered I have one but it took me a while to find it. When I did, I used it on a leftover strip of the dp and inserted a narrow chocolate satin ribbon through the slits. Just for fun, I twisted the ribbon before attaching it. The final card measures 4.25 x 5.5 (A2).
The Blog Hop will run from 8am Eastern on Thursday, July 1 through 8pm Eastern Friday July 2. At that time the three designers with the prizes will randomly select their winner from their commenters. They will check this post to be sure the person they draw has left their comment here, stating that they have completed the hop…. and then they will give me the name and the winners will be announced on Sat. the 3rd on the ODBD Blog!
The next stop is Randi’s Blog. I know she’ll have something fabulous to share!
Thanks so much for stopping by and good luck!

I love how you framed the wheat cross. A beautiful card.
Beautiful. Love blog hops and getting to see all the ideas
Fun. I love how you left two edges of the cross with the overhang,..the multi-toned wheat and the verse stamped in green,…it pops and has a fresh touch.
Beautifully done Julie! Your papers are so pretty and love your out of the box cross! The ribbon treatment and punched work just really pop and make this one stunning creation!
Julie, I love the beauty and simplicity of this card! The cross is fantastic with this sentiment!

WHAT A LOVELY CARD. I LIKE HOW YOU DID THE RIBBON PUNCH ON THE BOTTOM. VERY NICE COLORS.
You combined the two sets beautifully on this card. So nice.
Julie, I love how you made the cross come out of the box and that the sentiment is on the side. Cool! The punch around the page technique is just wonderful and is one of my new favorite things to do.
Beautiful card!

This stamp set is definitely one of my favorite stamp collection. I love the Lord’s Prayer. Your card is another reason that I love this collection.
Oh this is sooooo pretty!
Lovely card. Love the border punch and the ribbon adds just the right touch.

I like this image best so far. I think maybe because it reminds me of the straw used to make the old traditional St. Brigid’s crosses here.
Great card. Love the colors and MS border. TFS! 🙂
I love the color combination of the green and the brown with the elegance of the punches and the ribbon.

I really like how you used the ribbon on this card. Wonderful.
Your card is aweinspiring. I love the layers and colors. The Cross seems “alive”.
So beautiful and inspirational!

Great card! Love the color scheme, the border punching and the ribbon. FAB!
I love how you used the multiple colors on the cross. It makes it pop right off the card. Very cool card.
Julie I love how you twisted the ribbon. I get frustrated when the ribbon does that when I don’t want it to but perhaps I should just let it go and do it’s own thing as I liked your finished project. Thanks!
This is so pretty! Love the colors, the punched frame, and the ribbon! I have a ribbon punch that is just sitting there being ignored 🙁 Thanks for reminding me about it!
I love your beautiful card!

Beautiful card Julie! I especially like the twisted ribbon technique. I’ll be using that one.
Your border and your ribbon really make your card stand out. And I love the little bird just waiting to peck at the wheat. 🙂 You make me want to buy the stamp—so you have done your “job” well. 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous!! I love all of the elements and colors you have combined! Beautiful, Beautiful!!!!!
This is so cool! I love the frame and the colors you chose. Terrific stamps! This is my first time here…so fun!
