ODBDSLC115 Pedestal Pop Up- Birthday Blessings

8:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Happy Tuesday all!! Sorry it has been so long since I posted, yet again. Life keeps getting in the way of crafting. I wish I could just craft all day but that is just not the case. Thankfully the heat is much better here. No more 105 degree plus days...today it is 85 degrees. Much more tolerable. Thank you Lord!!!

Anywho...today I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs.

This week's challenge:

We would like to see tearing or distressing on your creation.

To make the challenge even more fun, we will be giving out a prize, a $15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!! Entries for the prize must be submitted by Sunday, July 15th at 8 p.m. EST. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday.

While it is not required to use Our Daily Bread Designs images and sentiments on your creations, we would love to see them if you have them. As a way of recognizing those who do use Our Daily Bread Designs stamps, we will again be choosing three or more of our participants for the Shining the Light Award. In order to qualify for this award or join the challenge, however, you must use Our Daily Bread stamps and have your submission added to Mr. Linky by Sunday, July 15th at 8 p.m. EST. If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC115. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Now on to my creations:

This a.m. I made a quick card to meet this week's Color Challenge at Splitcoast (CC383- Rasberry Ripple, Pink Pirouette, and Crumb Cake). I love the color combo for this week's but found it to be a real fun challenge. Since I did not have Razzleberry Ripple, I used Purely Pomegranite instead.

I created my own designer paper using the flowers from Our Daily Bread Designs Flowering Faith and Bird Borders and Corners sets. These stamps were inked in pink pirouette, Purely Pomegranite, and Crumb Cake (kraft). The sentiment is from ODBD's Flowering Faith , framed with Eternity , and cut out with the Elegant Ovals Spellbinders dies exclusive to ODBD.

The crumb cake oval is created with a cuttlebug victoria embossing folder and the embossed kisses technique. I added some pearl trim, some stitching, a Cheery Lynn Small Exotic butterfly , a bunch of leaves from Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish and a punched border using the Daisy Border Punch from Martha Stewart.

For my second creation, I decided to challenge myself and make a pedestal pop up card. You can find the tutorial here at Splitcoast Stampers.

My card uses Birthday Blessings from Our Daily Bread Designs and Green Tea designer paper from Stampin Up. The card stock is Marina Mist, Certainly Celery, and Old Olive. I distressed the edges using old olive. The bows are made with Martha Stewarts Ribbon Loop corner punch. It was fun using my Nestabilities (Squares) and ribbon to make presents. To meet this week's Shining the Light challenge- ODBDSLC115, I added distressing with Old Olive.
