For the Love of Spellbinder’s Compatible Hop

Welcome to Our Daily Bread Design’s Alumni Team’s bi-monthly For the Love Blog Hop. You may want to head over to the ODBD Blog to start from the beginning.

This week the Alumni team along with some of the ODBD designers are featuring a hop for the For the Love of ODBD Spellbinder’s Compatible sets!

For my card, I used the Dreams and Eternity stamp sets and the matching ODBD custom die made by Spellbinders!

I used a combo of the inks to get the color I wanted to go with this paper. The quote was inked first with the rose coral then I tapped the pumpkin spice on top before stamping it and die cutting. I did the same with the Eternity frame. On the quote layer, I left the die in place and sponged on some of the same inks. A die cut flourish vine was added in between the two and a big bow in the lower right corner. The finished card is 6.25 x 4.50 (A6).

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: ODBD – Dreams, Eternity

Paper: Neenah white, dp (Basic Grey – Indian Summer collection)

Ink: Colorbox Fluid Chalk rose coral, Pumpkin Spice

Accessories: ODBD Custom Elegant Oval dies by Spellbinders, ribbon, mini bowdabra, Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die

Congrats to Heather, the Featured Stamper on Splitcoast (FS374)! What a wonderful gallery! After much browsing, I finally chose her Triple Snowflakes to case. I kept the lovely layout and small squares, but changed the colors, the images and added a couple of layers.

The background layer was sponged with several colors from the Kaleidacolor ink pad, the I used a random dot image (Anita’s) on top in the same colors. The flower image (Judikins) was stamped on the left side and I sponged around the edges. The sentiment (Our Daily Bread designs) was added in the lower right corner.

The little bird squares (Mike’s $/Studio 112/K&Co) were stamped on top of a separate piece which was also sponged. They were die cut w/ Spellbinders square dies as were the black squares behind them. I used a 1/2 inch circle punch to punch out a piece of an extra stamped square and a 5/8 inch circle punch for the black circle and attached them in the upper right corner and put a clear epoxy half round on top. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

Thanks so much for looking!

Supplies:

Stamps: Anita’s, Judikins, Studio112/K&Co, ODBD (Simple Things)

Paper: Neenah white, black

Ink: Kaleidacolor Caribbean Sea, Ancient Page coal

Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs May Release Blog Hop! If you arrived here from Dawn’s Awesome Blog, you are in the right place. If not you might want to start at the Our Daily Bread designs Blog and start from the beginning. If you get lost along the way, simply return there, where the entire hop is listed with links.

For my card, I’m on the beach! I wanted a real tropical feel to go along with this fabulous beach scene from Happy Retirement. After stamping, I extended the horizon just a tad with a waterproof ink pen then colored it with a combination of sponging, markers and water colors. Highlights were added with a white gel pen. For the frames, I used rectangular dies to cut the inside out of the white frame then lined it with a black pen. The raffia frame is a die cut piece of cardboard wrapped with raffia then a little brown ink was sponged on top. I made one of these years ago and I thought it would be a good accent for this scene. The flower was die cut numerous times then sponged to get the right colors. I added a simple raffia bow behind it. The background paper was stitched together a little haphazardly for a little extra something. The finished card is 5 x 7.

Now I’ll send you on to your next stop…the blog of the Fabulous Angie!
