    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!

    For today’s Ways to Use it Challenge (WT396) on Splitcoast, we are to include at least 2 round things on our projects. I just happen to have 2 cards that fit the bill. The first one, is very CAS (clean and simple). The images on both cards are from DRS Designs. 

    On the top card, the pumpkin and candy corn circle were stamped and colored w/ copic markers. Then I die cut them and the purple backing layers using both small and large Spellbinder circle die sets. For the background, I embossed just the right half using a Cuttlebug pumpkin folder. The finished card is 5.50 x 4.25.

    Supplies:

    Stamps: DRS Designs
    Paper: Neenah white, dk purple
    Ink: Ancient Page coal
    Accessories: Spellbinders circle dies, Cuttlebug pumpkin embossing folder, copic makers

    For the second card, the moon and all those little round eyes count as my round objects. After stamping the ghosts and coloring w/ copics, I die cut them using the Spellbinders labels 21. I traced around the die and hand cut the black layer. The greeting was split in two and I used a small tag die for them. I cut the first half, turned the die around and cut the other half to get the same cut on both ends. The background was stamped w/ the orange/red Kaleidacolor ink and a punched fence was added at the bottom. The finished card is 4.45 x 5.50.

    Supplies:

    Stamps: DRS Designs
    Paper: Neenah white, black
    Ink: Ancient Page coal, Kaliedacolor Desert Heat
    Accessories: Spellbinders labels 21 & tag dies, Martha Stewart bat fence border punch, copic markers

  • 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!
