    Dimension is the challenge today for the Technique Lovers Challenge (TLC398) on Splitcoast! I loves me some dimension! I added some layers for dimension, added a little dimension in shading around the tree, also masked the tree to add stamp the presents for a little dimension and embossed the fronts for even more.

    This is a standard A2 card, but I scored it at 3.50 from the right and 2.0 from the left. Then I embossed both side sections. It seemed a little tricky at first, but I did the right side made a pencil mark on the left where the curvy line would be and lined that up with the embossing folder. I used a Grand Calibur and the mini cutting plate set and the big folder WILL fit in side ways to accomplish this.

    The inside is stamped, colored w/ copics & tombows and layered. I used the border dies down the side. The images are new from Our Daily Bread designs. I really love this tree image! The presents are a separate image so the tree can used with or without them.  I attached a couple of die cuts from the Spellbinders Asian Accents set to use as a closure and the front has stickles on all of the snow dots.

    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.

  • ODBD October Release Blog Hop!

    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!
