ODBD October Release Blog Hop!

Posted on October 1, 2012 7:58 AM by Julie 130 Comments

Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs October Release Blog Hop! This month’s hop is all about the upcoming holidays: Christmas and Thanksgiving! We are excited to be sharing our projects with you today!

If arrived here from the ODBD Blog, you are in the right place since I’m the first stop after the ODBD Blog.

For my card, I’m using the fabulous new Apple Wreath set! Isn’t it wonderful? I just love the apples and boxwood branches. They go so well with my branch punch.

After stamping, I colored the wreath in with Tombow markers. I stamped the apples twice more on another piece of white card stock and colored them with a combination of Copics and Tombows. Found out an interesting thing doing this and so here’s my Fun Dscovery Tip for You: If I lay down a light base color with the Copics (here I used FY1, Fluorescent Yellow Orange), then use the Tombows (water based markers) on top, the paper doesn’t pill or shred like it does when using water based makers and with heavy blending. The reason I did this, was because my Tombow red markers are so much brighter and clearer than the reds I have in Copic markers. And with the Copic base, they blended beautifully and easily with no paper shredding. So give it a try and mix things up!

I was in a hurry so I opted to die cut the wreath w/ a scallop circle instead of fussy cutting. I used both the lg and sm scallop circles to cut out the dk green and kraft circles to back the wreath. On the white background, I used an embossing folder and on the narrower strip on the right, I stamped the wood background with the desert sand ink before embossing it as well. I added a narrow dk green layer to make it stand out a bit. The sentiment was die cut using a small tag die. I cut to the middle, took it out, turned the die around and cut the other end to the middle in order to get both ends the same. I added a few more punched branches behind it and a tied green straw like ribbon at the top of the wreath. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have y’all checked out the opening day of the Dare to Get Dirty Challenges on Splitcoast? I made this for Lydia’s opening challenge and also for this week’s Featured Stamper (FS286), Monika! It was hard to narrow it down to one, but I finally picked her Happy I Do Day . I kept the general layout and lots of white with the butterflies, but I changed the embossing folder and sentiment.

The sentiment is from Our Daily Bread designs. I stamped it in charcoal chalk ink and used the ODBD Eternity label die (by Spellbinders) to die cut it. On the larger label, I embossed images from the Eternity set w/ a clear sparkly embossing powder before die cutting it. The butterfly was embossed w/ the same powder onto vellum before die cutting it and the plain white layer w/ the ODBD custom butterfly die.

After using an embossing folder on the background, I traced a few of the lines w/ a VersaMark pen then heat embossed it. I added some white enamel accents around the sentiment frame and on the raised dots of the background. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: ODBD – Surging Sea, Eternity Labels, Butterfly

Paper: Neenah white

Ink: Colorbox charcoal chalk ink & frost white pigment ink

Accessories: ODBD elegant oval dies, ODBD butterfly die, VersaMark pen, Ranger white enamel accents, Stardust embossing powder, Darice Butterfly embossing folder

Pink Leopard

Posted on June 16, 2012 11:09 PM by Julie Comment

A big CONGRATS to Emily, the Featured Stamper this week on Splitcoast (FS280)! Emily has been a regular in the challenges and she has such a wonderful gallery. I chose her God’s Love Sympathy card. I kept the half tree type image, but changed most everything else. Really, I did case her card! But like everything I’ve worked on this last week, it took a left turn. Sometimes that happens and you just gotta go with it.

The images are a sneak peek from DRS Designs. Love this lazy leopard but I bet you never thought you’d see a pink leopard. Pink Panther, maybe. But hey, I found this really neat pink ribbon w/ leopard spots and I just had to use it. So I planned on using the same layout Emily did, but when I was looking for some black card stock, I found this cute little black oval frame and that was all she wrote. I decided I needed to use it and I did a quick little out of the box cutting on my image to fit the oval.

By the way, I think I’ll also add this to Saturday’s IC341 because I saw this really cool leopard necklace that made me think of this leopard image to begin with. And while I’m working on challenges, I’ll add it to the Fan Club gallery, cause she’s a fancy pink leopard w/ a pink diamond brad on her pink leopard ribbon!

The background is an embossing folder. It took me longer to figure out how to color it like I wanted than anything else on this card. I arrived at this final result by sponging on the pink ink (not too carefully…there’s a lot of background so go for it!). Then I rubbed the soft sand ink pad across the high points and lastly, tapped the black ink (with a light touch) on the high points, kind of hit and miss. I think it goes with the ribbon really well now. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Thanks so much for looking!
