ODBD joins CardMaker for a Blog Hop!

Posted on December 2, 2015 7:58 AM by Julie 10 Comments

Welcome! Today Our Daily Bread designs and CardMaker are teaming up for a fabulous Christmas Blog Hop you won’t want to miss!

For my card today, I used a piece of my favorite paper from the ODBD Christmas Collection 2014 as well as some very glittery card stock. I just love sparkle & shine for the holidays & it doesn’t get much more glittery than this! After I die cut the teal paper using the outer die from the Flourished Star Pattern dies, I used the tiny scallop die from the Leafy Edged Borders to cut off the lower section and let some of the white glitter card stock show through. The Merry & Ornament topper were die cut out of the teal glitter & the ornament back out of the white glitter & I stacked a couple of white die cut Merrys & ornaments under the glitter ones for some dimension.

The Medium Bow & and some Stars were also die cut & added to finish.

Here’s a look at the inside using the cut off piece of dp from the front, a few sparkly stars & a greeting from the Christmas Tunes set.

Your next stop is Mendi Yoshikawa!

This is for the Color Challenge (CC557) today on Splitcoast. Originally, I was trying for the “not fussy” dessert option of the challenge. But seriously…trying to do that really started to wear me out, so I gave up & did what I do..mostly fussy. After I stopped trying to reinvent the wheel, this is the result. It’s not too super fussy, just a little bit.

After stamping, coloring w/ Copics & over stamping, I made a little star stencil on copy paper by die cutting two different sized stars in it & sponging the blue ink through it on the background. I die cut it then sponged 3 sides. On the left side, I used a curved die to cut off a little bit & I replaced it w/ some dp, then added some die cut stars on top. I die cut the greeting & a couple of dp circles and pretty much done.

Here’s a look at the inside using some leftovers & below it are the Copics I used.

ODBD September Look Back!

Posted on September 18, 2015 7:58 AM by Julie 4 Comments

Today we are taking another look at the Our Daily Bread designs September release! I just love the fish & dolphins sets. I used the dolphins again for my card today along with Sunburst Pattern & Sparkling Stars dies.

For my card, after stamping the dolphins with Memento & coloring w/ Copics, I over stamped w/ Versafine then fussy cut them. I repeated this for one more of the dolphin on the right to elevate him a bit on top of the other two. The image was stamped twice more but I colored only the water on both & used a self made cloud stencil & sponged in the sky before die cutting w/ the two sized of stars dies. I also die cut 2 black stars & stacked them offset before attaching the dolphins on top. The background was die cut w/ the Sunburst Bg & the circle cut greeting & a black circle were attached in the circle part of the die. Some sponged aqua die cut stars were attached here & there and stickles was added for some sparkle.

Here’s a look at the inside using some leftovers I didn’t use for the front. (These dolphins were also stamped w/ a small flower from the Boho Love set.) Below it are the Copics I used.
