    Happy New Year! Welcome to the January Our Daily Bread designs Release Blog Hop! You may want to head on over to the  ODBD Blog to start from the beginning.

    To stamp the darling little girls silhouette, I used a combo of inks. First I inked it w/ the dk brown chalk ink, then tapped over it w/ the chestnut brown pigment ink. The combo of the inks gave me the color and coverage I wanted for the silhouette. It was stamped directly on a piece of designer paper and die cut w/ a Spellbinders Blossom 4 die. Since my image was near the corner of the paper, I only used a partial die cut and the left side and bottom are the sides of the paper.

    I used 3 other pieces of dp plus a chocolate piece from one of the dp  (designer paper) packs for the other layers and a scallop edge die to cut them. The sentiment was also stamped w/ the same ink on more of the dp and cut out in a banner flag shape. I made a quilled flower using a Cuttlebug die and added some die cut leaves in the lower left corner. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great New Year!

  • Happy Birthday, Kelley! ODBD Surprise Blog Hop

    We are so excited today to be posting a special Birthday Wish to Our Daily Bread designs owner … Kelley Holland! This is a very special birthday for Kelley, as it’s the BIG 50!!! 

    Julie Warner - https://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com

    For my Birthday Card to Kelley, I’m using the fabulous Path of Life set. I knew it would be wonderful paired with the always terrific ODBD Exclusive Window Die by Spellbinders.

     

     

    The scene was colored with Copics and I attached the die cut window on top. I elevated it slightly to add some depth. For the background, I embossed some Williamsburg blue card stock I had in my stash with a Quickutz stripe label folder. I added a border embossed w/ a Cuttlebug border. The same border was used on the window sill piece. The flowers were made w/ hydrangea, small sun and small daisy punches. The punched tea cup was colored w/ Copics and added just because… Under the window I stamped the birthday greeting and added the curtains.

  • Wish

    Julie Warner - https://thewritestuff.justwritedesigns.com

    Congrats to Jackie (westie2), the Featured Stamper this week on Splitcoast (FS294)! What a fab gallery full of splendid designs! It was hard to pick just one, but I kept coming back to her You Make Me Smile. I was fascinated by the open holes and designer paper showing through. I kept the layout and design, but used different images, slightly different color and added a row of embossed dots across the center.

    I’m not quite sure how Jackie achieved the holey design,  but I did the holes in the bottom of my card with a long reach 1/2 inch hole punch. Pretty simple. In place of her yummy drink image, I used a Sizzix/Tim Holtz Wish die. I die cut it out of a separate piece of white then die cut that w/ a Spellbinders classic oval. I also used the ovals to cut out the card front opening and a piece of the raspberry dotted paper. I attached the Wish behind the dotted paper then to the inside of the card. The images are from Our Daily Bread designs and the greeting was stamped on the front next to the oval opening.

    The paper on the inside was stamped w/ a little flower image and I filled in the centers w/ a white gel pen. The lower corners of it and the card were rounded w/ a lg corner rounder. Just to make the oval cut out a little neater, I attached a die cut oval ring on the inside. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

    Congrats again, Jackie! Thanks so much for stopping by!
