Christmas Nativity

Today, I'm sharing a sneak peek at the beautiful new Holy Night Custom Die from Our Daily Bread Designs!  This stunning die is part of the Christmas Collection that will be released tomorrow, October 1st!

I went with a Clean and Layered look, for a simple yet striking Christmas card, die cutting and embossing the rectangle panels using the Flourished Star Pattern, and Pierced Rectangles die sets. The bottom of the Holy Family die was also die cut/embossed using the Pierced Rectangles die.  The paper is from the Christmas Collection 2015.

Be sure to stop back tomorrow for the ODBD October New Release and Blog Hop!

Wonky Houses - Mixed Media Card

Hi and thanks for stopping by!  Today I'm sharing a Mixed Media card I created for the Joggles Blog using Joggles Stencils, Stamps and Deli Paper, along with Gelatos.

This is the first time I've worked with Gelatos and enjoyed the creative process creating the background, coloring the images and adding texture.  You can see my tutorial on the Joggles Blog, I've also posted a photo video on YouTube.

Thanks for stopping by!

Autumn Wheelbarrow Thanks

Thanks for stopping by!  Today members of Our Daily Bread Designs Design Team are sharing new projects created with the September Release.

I created a Tri-Fold card as my base using Our Daily Bread Designs Fun and Fancy Fold Tri-Fold Card Kit as a template, as I wanted the base panel cut from Espresso card stock.  I used the Blooming Garden Paper Collection to decorate the panels, adhering the pattern paper to Kraft card stock then to the base card.

The image and sentiment are from the Seasons Change stamp set.  The image is watercolored using Watercolor Markers, blending with a Waterbrush, then die cut using the Wheelbarrow die.  Before adhering the stamped image, I added the Fence Die cut and grass (Grass Hill/Grass Lawn) to the Kraft panel.

Seasons Change - Our Daily Bread Designs September New Release and Blog Hop

It's hard to believe we have started the season of "ber" months!  Today, I'm sharing a fall themed card using the new Seasons Change stamp set, coordinating Wheelbarrow die, Grass Hill and Grass Lawn dies along with some previously released ODBD Dies and Paper Collections (see supply list below).

I started out by die cutting the pattern paper from the Blooming Garden Collection with one of the dies from the Leafy Edged Borders die set to create the curve.  Then using the Grass Hill die, I die cut the Green Paper from the Birthday Brights Paper Collection. Note, when die cutting the Grass Hill, cut the die from the back side (non-colored side) so that it lines up with the curve from the Leafy Edged Borders Die.

The Wheelbarrow from the Seasons Change stamp set is stamped in Black Archival on Watercolor Paper, then colored with Watercolor Markers, blending with a Waterbrush. The image was die cut using the Wheelbarrow die.  To create the scene, I die cut a scrap of watercolor paper using the Pieced Circles Die, and added the following die cut pieces: Fence (scrap of watercolor paper), Grass Hill (Birthday Brights), Grass Lawn (Birthday Brights).  I sponged over the Clouds die (Clouds and Raindrops) with Blue ink to add the sky, then added the Wheelbarrow image using dimensionals, placing everything on an Espresso Circle die cut panel.

To further embellish the card, I added the tools from the Tools and Apron die set, the border using the Trellis Strip Die and the stamped and die cut sentiment panel.
