    Welcome to the Our Daily Bread designs October Release! We have some gorgeous Christmas images, dies & paper for you this month!



    For my first card, I gold embossed the two background ornaments & die cut w/ the matching dies. The left ornament also has a gold embossed Flourished Alphabet letter J.  The top ornament was die cut w/ the other topper die out of the same paper as the main layer. I used the largest Matting Circle die to cut the center & since the snowflake paper only has the flakes around the border, I arranged the circle opening near one corner so it would look like the flakes are circling the bottom. I used more of the snowflake paper for the gold embossed greeting & Leafy Edged Border topper. A Candi dot was added on top of the center ornament & coated w/ gold stickles & I also added some Wink of Stella on the metallic gold c/s behind the top ornament.Here’s a look at the inside.

    My second card will have you singing Christmas Tunes!  I’ve been humming them ever since I started this card. I just love a cream & gold Christmas card with lots of gold embossing, so that’s what I’ve done here.

    After gold embossing the Christmas Tune, it was die cut w/ the matching Vintage Label die & the brushed gold metallic backing layer was die cut using a die from the Vintage Flourish Pattern die set. The largest gold layer was die cut with the Flourished Star Pattern largest die. The top background was a little trickier since it’s 3 layers & the top 2 are divided in 3. I first cut the cream layer, divided it but pushed the layers together to gold emboss the different Snowflakes on top & cut the bottom using the Leafy Edged Border die. I attached 3 gold layers behind them & carefully lined up the bottom & cut again. The largest faintly patterned dp  layer was cut to match the bottom curve.

    I used a different Leafy Edge Border to cut the cream colored border running under the greeting then stacked the gold embossed Snowflakes in the lower right. The top 2 snowflakes were fussy cut & each flake is elevated just a little from the one underneath. So it has a bit of dimension but is still, definitely mailable.

    Here’s a look at the inside with more stamping & some leftover pieces from the front die cuts.

  • Candy Apple Fall

    Candy Apple Fall cu 07470
    Today’s Clean & Simple Challenge (CAS344) is all about apples. I started to use an apple trio image but when I spied this candle apple image, I chose it instead.
    Candy Apple Fall 07469
    After stamping & coloring, I over stamped w/ Versafine, added the greeting then die cut w/ a pierced rectangle die. The leftover frame was die cut w/ a matting basic die, to even the edges, & it was embossed w/ the apple folder. The leaf was inked w/ the Distress inks, stamped, the matching outline leaf was stamped on top w/ the sepia ink & fussy cut.
    These are the Copics I used.

  • Halloween Mummy

    Mummy Coffin cu 07378

    For today’s Ways to Use It Challenge (WT550), it’s all about Punctuation! My greeting has 2 punctuation marks: the apostrophe & the question mark. 
    Mummy Coffin 07377
    This is a pretty quick card, too, especially since I came across the mummy image all colored & cut out…must have been a leftover that didn’t get used..or else the stamp fairy visited during the night. Either way, lucky for me! After stamping the graveyard, greeting & RIP tombstone with white pigment ink on black card stock, I added a white frame, a punched moon (that already had the colors on it, yay!), part of a die cut white tree & clouds (more stash finds!)

    To finish it, I die cut 2 rectangles out of kraft then cut off the top corners, stamped the versatile background w/ corduroy ink, stamped the RIP & drew the frame w/ a brown marker & I had a coffin for my mummy. Here’s a look at the inside.
