2012-01-19T09:00:00.001-05:00

Happy Thursday Everyone!

ODBD For the Love of Custom Dies Blog Hop!

If you came here from Deb's Blog you are in the right place!

Welcome to Our Daily Bread Design's first Alumni Team bi-monthly For the Love Blog Hop.

This week the Alumni team along with some of the ODBD designer's are featuring for the Love of ODBD Custom Dies! Check out each link and leave a comment. If you get lost along the way, head to the ODBD blog for a full link list. One of the post is a hot spot and a name will be drawn from that list of comments to win a $15 ODBD store gift certificate.

So, all you have to do is hop along and see all the creations and leave a little love!

You have until February 1st at 6 pm.

Winner will be announced February 2nd! So, get hopping and enjoy all the inspiration using for the Love of ODBD Custom Dies!

Here is my creation!

I chose to use ODBD's "Simple Things" and ODBD's Custom "Clover Die"! The custom die makes it easy peasy to cut out the lovely clover! For the background I started with a piece of white c/s and stamped the Clover image several times. I then colored the blossoms only and embossed those using a versamark pen and clear E/P. I then brayered using certainly celery and added shading to the clover leaves using copic markers. The framing of the sentiment was done using Spellbinder's Circle Nesties!

Your next stop should be our talented Kathy's Blog !

We hope you enjoy the hop!

Happy Monday Everyone!

I'm still marveling at this beautiful weather we are having! We are still having highs in the 50's! January in KY. that is unheard of! Yep, we will take all we can get! I know the cold "stuff" is coming!

My little cutie patootie great grandson was here again this past friday! He just melts my heart right down!

I have a challenge card to share with you today!

This is for two challenges over on Splitcoaststampers!

Jen's CAS152 and Judy's TLC359 !

The background stripes of D/P were glued together then cut and arranged in the Bargello pattern! The decorative swirl was done using CherryLynnDesigns Fanciful Flourish. The tiny buds were done using a M/S Punch! I used a Spellbinders tag punch to stamp the SU sentiment.

Joan Ervin has a fabulous tutorial!

I used four different shapes: square base, rectangle panel, round circle for sentiment and a tiny decorative oval shape in the upper right hand corner!

2011-10-20T09:00:00.001-04:00

Happy Thursday everyone!

It is time for ODBD Stamping In Time Challenge(SNTODBD46)!

The assignment is to use Our Daily Bread Design stamps. The challenge this rotation is all about cards with TAG! T= Thankful, A= Appreciation, G= Grateful. You can use an actual tag, create a card that is thankful, shows appreciation, or conveys gratefulness, or you can combine a tag with the themes.

Remember, the more you play the more you increase your chance to win! We look forward to seeing what you create using ODBD stamps!

This is my take on the challenge!

I chose to use ODBD's Scripture Series 2 ! I think this depicts all three tags! "Thankfullness", "Appreciation" and "Gratitude"!

I am very blessed! I try to remember to start my day by counting my blessings and thanking the good Lord!

The Scripture was framed using a Spellbinder's Nestie! Flowers from Wild Orchid, Spellbinder's die cuts and May Arts ribbon were used around the frame!

Please check ODBD's Blog for all the details!

We hope you will play along with us!

Please check out some of the talented ODBD Design Teams fabulous creations!

Swimming for Katie Blog Hop and Fundraiser!

2011-10-12T00:01:00.002-04:00

From October 10-12 a large community of stampers are joining together to support and encourage our friend and fellow stamper, Katie Renz, who is currently battling inoperable gastric cancer. If you're not familiar with her, Katie’s cancer story started just before Christmas last year. This young, beautiful, healthy, vibrant mother of 3 with her infectious smile was suddenly diagnosed with an inoperable cancer, virtually overnight. A few tummy aches and then stage 4 gastric cancer. Her first post about it is here. The idea of “Swimming for Katie” came from her recent post here.

This exclusive stamp used in my sample, designed by Becky Oehlers is available as a clear stamp, as well as a digis or a dig and SVG cut file. 100% of the profits go to Katie's fund to help her and her young family. Her husband Kevin and her three young children need our help and support. In addition to the Keep Swimming Octopus, Marianne Walker and True =D Doodle Designs both also donated digis that are for sale. Direct donations are also being accepted. Information central is HERE. This is a permanent page that will stay active at i {heart} papers with current information and the full 3 day blog hop listing, as well as the donation button.

HERE are all the items available for sale!

To help raise money for Katie, Creating for Causes has generously donated a FREE ticket (value: $249.95) to one of their upcoming 3-day Scrap & Stamp Retreats.

The winner of the free ticket will enjoy 3 days of non-stop fun and creativity with fellow scrappers, stampers and papercrafters, and can choose between the Charlotte, NC Scrap & Stamp Ritzy Retreat at The Ritz-Carlton on October 21-23 or the Orlando, FL Scrap & Stamp Retreat at the Marriott World Center on November 4-6. Both retreats promise to spoil you and provide 48-straight hours of creating, camaraderie and fun!

To learn more about the events, please visit: http://www.creatingforcauses.org/our-events/scrapbook-events/.

Not only will you be raising money for Katie by making a donation, you get a chance to win a wonderful weekend getaway for yourself! And, because all of Creating for Causes' events are charity events that raise money for local charities, you'll be giving back twice!

Wow, a weekend retreat for you and two chances to help others. Does it get any better than that?

Here's how it works:

Simply make a $33 donation for Katie and indicate that you want to be entered in the Creating for Causes Retreat ticket drawing. Everyone who makes a donation of $33 will be entered into the drawing and one lucky person will be attending this 3-day retreat for FREE! That lucky person could just be you!

I hope you will join me in supporting Katie through a purchase or donation.

Donations can be made here:

The following is a list of everyone who has projects posted today. I hope you will be inspired by them and moved to purchase or donate. If you would like to send Katie a card, her mailing address is:

Scripture Series 2 and Scrolly Borders

I'm excited to share a card I made with the brand new Our Daily Bread designs release, the customer favorites Scripture Series 2! As part of our third year anniversary celebration, customers submitted their favorite Scriptures that they would like to use on a card, and after much thought the winners were chosen and made into this special edition set!

I chose Psalm 54:4 the Scripture submitted by Jan Castle! After stamping the Scrolly Border and Scripture I embossed using clear embossing powder and heat tool. The decorative border and framing was done using MS stamp around the page punches and Spellbinder's Nesties. The decorative corner was made using a Cuttlebug diecut. Gold pearls, ribbon and a prima were also used!

To see the full release, as well as samples made by the winners of the contest whose verses were chosen, and to hear their stories of why they chose the verse they did, please visit the Our Daily Bread designs Blog! Also, the Design Team has created samples for your inspiration with these Scriptures. Here is the list of participants.

A seamstress, I am not! My feeble attempt at following the guidelines for this challenge was to sew two buttons in the corner of my card! Lame, I know!

To frame the sentiment from ODBD's "Sew Special" I used a combination of Spellbinders Dies, Classic Circles, Lacey Circles and the Classic Inverted Scallop. A Cuttlebug die cut was used for the decorative corners. Buttons were sewn in the corners.

Pleast stop by to see what the talented ODBD Challenge Team have created!

Happy Saturday everyone!

Before I tell you about todays post, I would like to share something with you!

I have just returned from Florida where I attended a funeral for my 22 yr old cousin. To say the least it was a heartbreaking time for our family. He was such a wonderful young man, so full of life and so loving.

So if you haven't hugged your loved ones today or called to tell them how much you love them, stop what you are doing and do it! We never know how much time we have left on this earth.

Hi everyone!

It's Saturday and time for another Our Daily Bread Designs Shining The Light Challenge!

Todays challenge is to use embedded embossing on your creation!

To use embedded embossing, you punch out shapes or cut layers or strips out and then adhere them to your card base piece. Once adhered, place the entire layer in an embossing folder of your choice and emboss both the punched out shapes-layers-strips and the base piece all together. The result looks like seamless embossing … you have just embedded your shapes/layers to the card base.

To make the challenge even more fun, we will be giving a $15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!! Entries for the prize must be submitted by Thursday, May 12. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday. If you are not using ODBD stamps, please do not enter more than once.

Our Daily Bread Designs Sing to the Lord was stamped several times, colored using Copic Markers and cut out! For my "embedded embossing" I used two Spellbinders Lables Eighteen Nestibilities! After stamping the sentiment from With Heartfelt Sympathy, I glued the two diecuts together along with some of the cut out flowers and embossed using SU Basket Weave E/F.

Welcome to day two of Rubbernecker Stamps PREVIEW days!

Rubbernecker will be releasing New Stamps on Tuesday May 3rd!

You will want to visit EVERY one of the talented design team participants, on one of their blogs is a chance to win a $15.00 Rubbernecker Stamps Gift Certificate!

You can find the complete list of todays Design Team participants on the Rubbernecker Blog!

On our release day we have a fun game planned for everyone!!!!! You will not want to miss it!

For my project today I chose to use the soon to be released SUNFLOWER (SKU53l-05)

This is a gift box and a matching card, one of several that will fit inside the box!

Here is a close up of the Gift Box!

The Sunflower was stamped on kraft cardstock! I then used clorox bleach on the petals and leaves. After bleaching I colored the image using Copic markers. The decorative border for the box cover was done using a M/S punch! Ribbon and Zva Pearls were also added! Spellbinders Nesties and diecut were used for cutting out the image and the framing. Instructions for making the Gift Box can be found in the Resourse Section of Splitcoaststampers!

A closer look at the card!

This is a CAS creation (something I don't usually do)! After stamping, the image was colored using copics. Because the leaves are solid, after inking image I used a wipe to remove the black ink, then used markers to color directly on the stamp, huffed and stamped! The Rubbernecker sentiment and a ribbon were then added!

Happy friday everyone!

I was away for for awhile due to a death in the family! My uncle in Florida passed away! He had been ill for quiet awhile. I will miss him terribly, but it is also comforting to know he is with God and is no longer suffering!

Hope with all the storms lately you are all safe.

The card today is for two challenges over on Splitcoaststampers!

Todays Queen For Today was to honor Anne (jdmommy)!

Wendy's F4A62 challenged us to use lots of layers on our cards.

The lovely Rubbernecker image was stamped and clear embossed on Kraft C/S. I then used Clorox bleach and a brush to bleach the image. After bleaching I colored the leaves and highlighed the rose using Copic markers. Spellbinders Nesties were used to cut oval for the framing of the image. The border was made using an EK Success punch. M/S Pine Bough and leaf punches used for the foliage. I glued a small deeper ribbon to a larger lighter colored ribbon to make the bow. Pearls were added to each corner.The DP is from Basic Grey!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a fabulous evening! Hugs!

This my card!

I first stamped Bird Borders and Corners and a verse from Scripture Collection 6 then cut out and framed them using Spellbinders Nestibilities Lables 18! The fancy scrolls on the top and bottom of the frame were added using Spellbinders Fancy Lables 2! Flower Soft was added to give a little color to the limb! The background was done by stamping the branch then embossing with clear e/p. Ribbon from Mikes was added!

This is a picture of the inside!
