I was very excited when I saw this nutcracker…I really love them and have a number of them I put out every Christmas. This guy just looked like a member of the Royal Guard so I used mostly red, white & blue on him.

After stamping and coloring, I die cut the nutcracker and matted it with red. The striped paper is a new collection coming soon from Our Daily Bread designs. I die cut the right edge along with a white layer using a bracket border die.The front of the white card was embossed using the largest die of the ODBD Flourished Star Pattern set. I die cut and added all the little stars from the ODBD Sparkling Stars set. I used one of the triangles from the ODBD Pennant dies to make the fishtail on the greeting banner. The blue background was embossed and I used a white chalk maker to highlight the raised embossing. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

The second image for this release is the sweet little Snow Angel Murphy! I stamped Murphy twice, colored and die cut the circle ornament shape on one and colored and fussy cut Murphy on the other. I added a Santa hat from the Santa Claws set and the greeting from the Santa Paws set.

I added a little sparkling snow glitter writer dimensional paint to the snow and fur on the Santa hat for some dimension and sparkle.

The paper and snowflakes are from Our Daily Bread designs. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25 and these are the Copics I used.

Serendipity Blog Hop Day 2!

Posted on June 14, 2014 12:00 AM by Julie 15 Comments

Welcome to the Serendipity Stamps Summer Release Blog Hop! Today is Day 2 and we are featuring a bunch of brand new images and dies! The focus today is on the verse & backgrounds. As a reminder, one random commenter will chosen to win a $20 gift certificate to the Serendipity Store! The last day to comment is June 18th and the winner will be announced on June 19th on Mary’s Blog. And we have a couple of specials, too. Free mini grab bag with $20 purchase and some free small word stamps come with many of the word dies!

For my card today, I’m using one of the new verses, And I Think To Myself. Don’t know about you, but I can’t stop hearing that song in my head. I thought it would make the perfect ornament to pair with the Earth Ornament. The verse was stamped w/ white pigment ink and embossed with a shimmery blue velvet embossing powder. The little snowflake was also embossed using a sparkly willow green powder. They were die cut with circle dies and added to the stamped, colored earth ornament. The large panel was also die cut and I used a little bit of my out of the box technique. I also stamped two more of the bow top of the earth ornament, colored and fussy cut them.

The divided back layer is a result of having just sections left of each color, so I attached them together and die cut with a matting basic die. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50 and these are the Copics I used.

Please be sure to stop and comment on all the DT blogs so you’ll be eligible to win!

ODBD September Release!

Posted on September 1, 2013 7:58 AM by Julie 57 Comments

Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs September Release! Wow, do we some fabulous images for you!

On my wreath card, I stamped the Holly Wreath with the bamboo ink and shaded the background holly w/ a lt green Copic marker.For the top images, I used a dk green Micron pen to outline them and make them stand out more. The image and the designer paper circle behind it were die cut with circle dies and added on top of an embossed white layer. On the larger designer paper layer, I added some scored lines at the bottom. The finished card is 4.25 x 5.50.

Supplies:

Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs – Holly Wreath, Jingle Bells

Paper: white, dp (Making Memories)

Ink: Memento bamboo leaves, rose bud

Accessories: Copic markers, Spellbinders circle & pennant dies, Candi button, corner rounder, Sizzix circle frame embossing folder, stickles

For my pink ornament card, after cutting a large background piece out of two sided pink designer paper, I die cut the fancy ornament out of the reverse side. I stamped the greeting on white and die cut the same ornament shape around it, then trimmed away all but the center greeting section and attached it on top of the pink version. The corners (from the same set) were also die cut out of the dark pink and since some of the paper had white streaked areas, I used a white Permapaque marker to add them to all of the corners.

The pinecone was stamped on white and fussy cut to add on top of the ornament. Another solid ornament die was used to die cut the white backing ornament. I added some white dots on the dk pink background to help tie it all together. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

Supplies:

Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs – Ornaments 2

Paper: white, dp (unknown)

Ink: Memento rose bud
