ODBD December Release Blog Hop!

Posted on December 1, 2012 7:58 AM by Julie 102 Comments

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

I love these new snowflake sets! To me snowflakes are just so happy! I’m using the new Sparkling Snowflakes, Bookmarks-Snowflakes and 2 previously released sets for the sentiments, Perfect Gift and Holly Tag. I also used the Bookmark Dies to die cut the bookmark.

For the bookmark, I stamped it with the indigo pigment ink and embossed it with the stardust powder then die cut it with the bookmark die. The sentiment was stamped with the silver pigment ink and embossed with the same powder and die cut with an oval die. I made the bookmark double sided thinking it would make a lovely Christmas tree ornament until after the holidays. Then it could be used as a traditional bookmark. On my coordinating card, I embossed the snowflakes on the cobalt blue background and also stamped most of them again using the cobalt dye ink. I embossed one extra small snowflake and die cut it w/ a circle die to add in the center of the white holiday tag ornament star I hung from the white bow. The sentiment was also embossed on white, die cut attached to a larger cobalt oval then to a white die cut fancy tag. I added some crystals for a little extra bling.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Christmas Chickadee Wreath

Posted on November 30, 2012 12:42 PM by Julie 2 Comments

For today’s Free For All Challenge (F4A145), we are to use fruits or veggies or colors of fruits or veggies. So ok, this may be stretching things a tad, but pine cones are fruits and so are the holly berries. Or I guess I could go w/ the colors rhubarb and celery. Anyway, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it because I really need to make some more Christmas cards.

The images are all from Our Daily Bread designs and are a mix of new and older and I pretty much gold embossed everything except the background. The chickadee image is from the new Chickadee Ornament and since I wanted to put it on my wreath, I fussy cut it out. The Apple Wreath (minus the apples) was embossed on a die cut circle. The pine cones (from Sing for Joy), were also embossed and fussy cut. I attached my wreath on top of a Wood Background I stamped w/ the sand ink. The greeting (from Christmas Flourished Verses) was die cut w/ a tag die. A bow and some designer paper finished my 4.25 x 5.50 card.

Christmas Lamp Post

Posted on November 27, 2012 12:58 AM by Julie 2 Comments

For the Color Challenge (CC403) on Splitcoast, we are to use green, red & gray. My CAS card is a lot of white, green, a little red and a tiny bit of gray. Actually, I only used the gray to shade the lamp post.

The images are all new from DRS Designs. For the rest of my card, I die cut a couple of flourished holly out of the green then used the negative, or leftover part for my background. The large white frame was also a leftover from cutting a larger label shape out for another card. I used markers to color the rubber of the sentiment in two colors, and the rest of the sentiment says “and the happiest Happy New Year” so I put that part on the inside since I could only fit this much on my little die cut label. The lamp post was colored w/ copics and cut out. I just love the traditional Christmas colors and festive look of the sentiment and lamp post.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: DRS Designs

Paper: Neenah white, green

Ink: Memento tuxedo black

Accessories: Copic markers, Holly Flourish die (Cheery Lynn), Spellbinders labels 18 dies, Tombow markers (to stamp the sentiment)
