Fun sketch today on Splitcoast (SC401)! I did turn and flip it to fit my image better, but I hope I didn’t morph it too much. The images are from Our Daily Bread designs and I die cut the mountain scene and black layer with a new set of Spellbinders that just came in the mail today! Love new toys! They actually saved my card today. Ever have one of those days where nothing works? I sure did! Must have thrown 3 or 4 in the round file. I mean, nothing was working out! Finally thought. go simple, no color and check out the new dies! So this was the best of the lot and I hope you like it.
The sentiment was black embossed on a bit of ivory vellum then I cut a narrow frame for it and added the stripe dp. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a very creative day!
Welcome to Our Daily Bread designs September Release Blog Hop!If you arrived here from the blog of the fabulous Betty, then you are in the right place. If not, you may want to head over to theODBD Blogand start from the beginning.
For my card, I’m using the fabulous, Keep Climbing set! I also used a portion of last month’s Bookmarks-Trees set for the front window. I just love this mountain scene and the fonts are beautiful in all of this month’s sets.
My card is variation of a trifold, with the front fold being an open window. For the main panel and die cut frame on top, I die cut the panel first using the Spellbinders Labels 8, left the dies in place, put a small circle mask for the moon and sponged on the colors with ink from 2 different Kaliedacolor pads. After removing the mask, I stamped the mountain scene then removed the dies. The largest one became my frame and the smaller one is my main panel. I used the smaller labels 8 to die cut the opening in the top section of my card (to make the window opening) and attached my frame on top.
I stamped the trees from the Bookmark-Trees set on a separate piece of card stock which was also sponged w/ the green inks, and cut around the top of the trees. I attached this mostly to the inside of my window but let the edge trees come out of the opening. So the inside would look neat, I die cut another piece of white card stock w/ the same size label 8 and attached it to the inside of the window. I also added a circle die cut sentiment on the front lower corner, matted on a larger black circle. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.
Hopefully, you are able to see how it works a little better from this pic, but just in case, here’s a super short (like 17 seconds) video showing how it opens and folds. Sorry about the annoying little ads, but whatcha gonna do? It’s You Tube, so just hit the little x to close them. I’m sure there’s a way to bypass them, but I haven’t figured it out yet.
If you arrived here from Lisa’s blog, you are in the right place. If not, you may want to start at the ODBD Blog so you won’t miss anything. Today, we have a special Happy Birthday Blog Hop for our dear friend and DT member, Randi! In her blessed life, she has faced so very much and if you’d like to read a little about her recent battle, please take a moment to read the story behind the ODBD stamp set, Randi’s Song, named in her honor. Kelley will be giving away a Happy Birthday set to 3 people chosen from the comments. All you have to do is hop along and leave a Happy Birthday wish for Randi on the ODBD Blog. And if you feel so inclined, you can leave her a Happy Birthday wish on her blog: Randi’s Blog.She hasn’t been able to create in a while, but she does stay connected and I’m sure she’ll see your message.
This is my birthday card & bookmarks to Randi. I hope she like them! I used several different sets and dies to create it and the double sided bookmarks. For the daisy background, I used markers to color in the background and add just a hint of color to the daisies. The sentiment was die cut, sponged and layered on top of two Memory Box die cuts. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.
This shows one side of the bookmarks and if you flip them over, this is what they look like on the reverse side:
Now I’ll send you on your way to Lori’s blog! Thanks so much for stopping by!
