Twinkles Glow with Stamps

Hello Friends!! I hope this post finds you all well!!  Since I had a moment, I thought I would share a card I created with the newest stamps and dies from Our Daily Bread Designs!! I am so loving the new Merry Christmas stamp die duo that I used for this card!! I embossed the poinsettia in gold and then colored it in with copics.  The poinsettia is cut with the coordinating die within the stamp set itself and mounted on the Pierced Circles and Fancy Circles Die.  The sentiment is framed with cardstock cut from the Pennant Flag Die and the Double Stitched Pennant Flags Dies.   The background behind the matted circle is created with the Layered Lacey Squares dies and Square dies.


Thank you so much for stopping by!! I hope you too have a chance to create some Christmas cards!!

Hello Friends!!  I hope you all had a great weekend!!  Here it is November already!  Time is flying and the holidays are upon us.  It is time to get started on those Christmas cards!!

Here is a card I created with the Merry Christmas stamp die duo and the New Christmas 2018 Paper Collection.  The paper is so soft and beautiful!!  The poinsettia is colored with copics and die cut with the die that coordinates (within the stamp die duo set).  The image is that adhered with dimensionals on circles die cut with the double stitched circle and the Fancy Circle Dies.  The designer paper is die cut with the ODBD Rectangles and is framed with White Neenah Cardstock die cut with the Pierced Rectangles.


I added small pearls and white seam binding for a bow as an embellishment.  It is a bit more CAS than some of the other cards I have created in the past but I love the softness of it.

Thanks for stopping by and for your comments!!

Hello Friends!  I hope this post finds you all well!!  Today Our Daily Bread Designs is releasing a fun stamp, die, and paper release just in time for Christmas!! You do not want to miss out on all the inspiration from the team.

Here is my first creation using the new Poinsettia Box stamp and Christmas Paper Collection 2018, Flourishy Frame die, Square dies, Pierced Square dies.

Hello Friends!  I hope this post finds you all well.  It is hard to believe how fast the time is flying by.  It is already more than 1/2 way through October.  Today, the ODBD Bread Basket are sharing a look back at the stamps previously released at the beginning of this month.  The team has lots of inspiration to share.  You can see there creations here.

Here is my creation using the Bethlehem Dies, Curvy Slopes Dies, Holy Night Dies (star), Pierced Rectangles dies, and the Christian Faith Paper Collection.

Welcome to the ODBD November Pre-order Release Special.  Today Our Daily Bread Designs  is offering Pre-release Bundles for sale.  (While there are no individual sets for the November pre-release being sold).  You won't want to miss the ODBD blog to see all the different samples using these wonderful stamps and dies!

Thanks for stopping by!  Another month has flown by!  Where is the time going?  ODBD is kicking off the month with a lot of fun and beautiful Christmas dies!!  One of the dies is one that can be used on all occasions....a 3d Diorama die!!

My first creation was created using the new Cloud Borders Die, Neigborhood Border Die, Diorama and Layers Die, and Bethelehem Dies as well as the previously released Snow Crystals Dies, Curvy Slopes Die, Deer and Trees Die and Christmas 2017 Paper Collection (6x6).  It was fun to create!! The slopes were created with the Curvy Slopes dies as well as the slope from the Bethlehem Dies. After they were cut and embossed, I added stickles to the edges.  The clouds peaking through are created with the cloud border dies.  After cutting the neighborhood, slopes, deer and trees, as well as the snowflakes, Stickles were added to parts of the snowflakes.


My second creation is made using the Great Joy stamp die duo, the Diorama with Layers Die, Bethlehem Dies, Rectangle Dies, and the Christmas Card Collection 2016 6x6 Paper.  It was such a fun card to create!  The wisemen were colored with copics.  The trees and Bethlehem scene were cut from black cardstock to create a night time scene.

My third creation was created with the Great Joy stamp die duo, the Cloud Border die, the Diorama with Layers Die, Bethlehem Dies, and the Neighborhood Border die from the new release, as well as as, the Trees and Deer Dies, Filigree Frames dies and the Clouds and Raindrops die.

Hello Friends! I hope this post finds you all well.  Today ODBD is sharing cards created with stamps and dies released on June 1.  You won't want to miss the creations from my talented dt sisters.

Hello Friends!  I hope all are doing well.  I so enjoy my time off from teaching to slow down just a bit and get so much done around the house that I am not able to do while working. 

Today I am popping in to share a card created with the June New Release from Our Daily Bread Designs...Sister Time and Lacey Corners dies as well as the previously released Birthday Brights 6x6 Paper Collection.



I just love the sentiments in this set.  So many are words that come from the heart about my sister and sister in laws whom I love so much.  I am so blessed!! Family is a wonderful gift from God and sisters can have a unique bond that lasts for a lifetime.  Even though our personalities can be different, my sister is one of my best friends and a real supporter!

Eccles. 4:9-10

9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor. 10 If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.  But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.

I hope you are blessed with supportive family and friends!! I also hope that you have enjoyed my creation.

blessings,

Good Morning Friends!  I hope you are all doing well!!  It seems like I have little time to craft or blog lately.  Life is so busy and continues to become busier as spring arrives and yard work must be done.

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?.......

Good Morning Friends!! I hope this post finds you all well and enjoying nice weather.  The weather has been very up and down in our area.  Winter just wants to stay. It has been a rough winter for so many in the country. It seems like spring weather is on it's way.  With spring, however, comes tornado watches it seems.  We were hit with our first tornado watches last week.

With the arrival of spring and flowers comes the arrival of bees and butterflies.  Today's card uses the darling The Greatest Gift Stamp Die Duo released this month as well as the Fancy Circles Dies, Filigree Circles Dies, Pierced Circles Dies, Bitty Borders dies, Double Stitched Pennant Flags dies, and Boho Bolds Paper Collection.
