I thought I'd just share with you what's going on in my personal life right now. Many of you have followed my blog for a long time, have prayed me through many things, including my cancer journey, and I have so appreciated all your love, support and prayers!!! My husband retired last June, and we have been looking for a home in TN where we could be closer to our family. Our daughter was so good to come help me out so much when I went through chemo treatments, surgery, etc. and we realized we were far enough away to be a burden to her if we ever needed that kind of help again. So we found a house and purchased it a few weeks ago. As I write, I am packing and moving things to a storage unit until we close on March 30. Then we will be making the "big" move. The house we bought is about half the size of our present house, so needless to say we have been going through a major purge, but it feels good to be simplifying in so many different ways! There are a ton of things we want to do to the house before we settle in too much, so we will be working on those things and then I will be unpacking my craft room supplies and hopefully getting back to doing what I love so much! Because I don't know how long all that will take, it might be a while before I post again... but I hope you'll hang with me while we go through this process. Because of all that's going on, I have stepped down, at least for now, from ODBD, but who knows... I may be back in that capacity when I'm able as well. I have been with ODBD for almost 9 years now and I will really miss the "family" we have become! Special friendships have been made, and I truly feel blessed to have been able to be with ODBD for all these years, and for that, I thank Kelley and Rick so much! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want to thank all of you who have meant so much to me for all this time as well! Your notes, emails, cards, comments, and most of all prayers carried me through one of the toughest times of my life... and I felt all that prayer support daily!!! I will most likely continue to return to my Drs. here for the followups as only they know all the specifics of my cancer and the treatments I had. On April 6th it will be 2 years since my surgery, and Nov. 17 will mark 2 years since chemo and radiation were all completed! I do still have some side effects of the continued drugs I am on, but I have nothing but praise to our Lord for bringing me through all He did! He hears and answers our prayers... and He has been so faithful to me!!! I hope you all know how much your prayers <span style="color: #0000ee;">have meant</span>!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank you for sticking with me and I hope you'll stay on the email list so we can keep in touch in the future! You can still email me by the link in my side bar and I'd love to hear from you any time!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
May God richly bless each and every one of you! </div>

Hello friends! So glad you stopped by today! I have a couple more gift sets to share with you today. For the above, I used the new ODBD <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/gift-card-holder-dies.html"><b>Gift Card Holder Dies</b></a>, and the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/a-gift-for-you-dies.html"><b>A Gift For You Die</b></a>. To match that I made the little box below, using the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/the-giving-gift-box.html"><b>The Giving Gift Box</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/a-gift-for-you-dies.html"><b>A Gift For You</b></a> (Tag), <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/bitty-blossoms-die.html"><b>Bitty Blossoms</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/lovely-leaves-dies.html"><b>Lovely leaves</b></a>, and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/lovely-leaves-dies.html"><b>Fancy Foliage</b></a>. I used the scalloped edged die to cut a window in the top of the box, and added some vellum to the inside of the lid, then I added the fancy die cut from The Giving Gift Box and decorated with my tag, flowers and leaves. I used a past release, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/home-sweet-home-hcs41-clear-stamps.html"><b>Home Sweet Home</b></a> for my tag sentiment. I love these little boxes! Such a quick and easy presentation for a small gift!<br />

For the sentiment inside the card, I used the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/today-and-everyday.html"><b>Today and Every Day</b></a> stamp set.

Hello everyone! Welcome to the February ODBD release! I hope you are doing well and avoiding all the "bugs" that are going around! <br />
<br />
Today <a href="https://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/">Our Daily Bread Designs</a> is releasing some AWESOME dies and stamps... all about gift giving! I am showing only a sampling of the entire release, so be sure to stop by <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/2018/02/february-new-releases.html">ODBD</a> to see it all, and there is a ton of inspiration for you from the various designers! We will be sharing things later in the month as well so be sure to check back to see all you can do with this fun release!<br />
<br />
First up is a gift set set I made that includes a gift box and a gift card holder. These dies cut the entire set in no time flat! I used <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/the-giving-gift-box.html"><b>The</b> </a><a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/the-giving-gift-box.html"></a><a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/the-giving-gift-box.html"><b>Giving Gift Box</b></a> for the box you see above, and used the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/today-and-everyday.html"><b>Today and Every Day</b></a> stamp set for the sentiment, which I then cut with one of the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rectangles-dies.html"><b>Rectangles dies</b></a>. I also used a past release <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd77-happy-birthday-dies.html"><b>Happy Birthday</b></a> dies (for the balloons). The paper I inserted into the lid of the box is from <a href="https://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/"><b>Birthday Bash</b></a><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"> </a><b><a href="https://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/">Paper Pac</a>k</b>.<br />
<br />
For the gift card holder below, I used The<b> </b><a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/gift-card-holder-dies.html"><b>Gift Card Holder</b></a> dies and the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/happy-birthday-caps-die.html"><b>Happy Birthday Caps</b></a> die as well as a past release, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/bitty-borders-dies.html"><b>Bitty Borders</b></a> for the front, along with the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/birthday-bash-6x6-paper-pad.html"><b>Birthday Bash</b></a><b> paper.</b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Below is the inside of the gift card holder. I used <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/today-and-everyday.html"><b>Today and Every Day</b></a> for the sentiment, which I cut with the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/filigree-frames-dies.html"><b>Filigree Frames dies</b></a>, and I added the little banner from <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/bitty-borders-dies.html">Bitty Borders</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a picture of the two for size comparison. The box actually makes a beautiful presentation for the gift card holder in itself. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
For my next set I used a heart theme to make a more masculine valentine gift. I again used <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/the-giving-gift-box.html"><b>The </b><b> Giving Gift Box</b></a> and <b><a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/gift-card-holder-dies.html">Gift Card Holder.</a> </b>To decorate this set I used the<b> <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/a-gift-for-you-dies.html">A Gift for You</a> </b>word die,<b> </b>and on the box I added a gray and a black<b> <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/layering-hearts-dies.html">Layering Hearts Die</a> </b>cut.<b> </b><br />
<b> </b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

Hello friends! I do hope you are all well and avoiding the flu this season, as well as all the other multiple things going around right now! This certainly has been a tough flu season here and is not close to being over from what I hear... but we are thanking the Lord that we have avoided it so far! </div>

I do have just a hint of spring for you (even while we brace for a little snow storm to come our way over night). I have some beautiful <b>daisies</b>, from the January release at ODBD. The stamp/die duo set is "<a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/call-to-me-stamp-die-duos.html"><b>Call to Me</b></a>". I stamped, then die cut with the included die, and arranged on a white <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd62-doily-dies.html"><b>Doily</b></a> Die Cut. I also used a <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/leafy-edged-border-dies.html"><b>Leafy Edged Border die</b></a> down the side of my card. The paper is from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/plum-pizzazz-collection-6x6-paper-pad.html"><b>Plum Pizazz Paper Pack</b></a>, and the sentiment from the Call to Me set is stamped directly on the design paper. I few little sprigs were added (from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/lovely-leaves-dies.html"><b>Lovely Leaves Die set</b></a> which by the way is currently on sale), and a sheer bow was added to finish off this simple card. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that's it... a simple one but a fresh breath of spring! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On a personal note I do cherish your continued prayers. I continue to struggle with side effects of current meds and pain issues. I truly do thank you for praying! </div>

I am working on my Bible Journaling and loving it more and more. If you are currently doing Bible Journaling... would you just let me know that in the comments below? I'm interested in how you got started and what mediums you like to use the most? I have two Bibles that I journal in. One is the Inspire Bible, which has many illustrations already in it, but spaces to do your own as well. It was a great way for me to start coloring in my Bible and in that one I have only used colored pencils. However, as I "grow" in the art, I am now beginning to prefer working in my other Bible, which has space to journal in, and no illustrations done for me. I love being able to bring out the verse or thought that the Lord laid on my heart from that Scripture reading... and I am stepping out with a little more courage to try my own art work. So I have actually tried some watercoloring in that Bible, and I'm working on my lettering... which has a LONG way to go! However... I am loving it!!! It has enriched my time with the Lord in so many ways... and has helped me remember better what I read. Last Sat. we began a Bible Journaling class at my church... and I was so excited to find so many other women who also love this expression of worship! So... if you live near me... feel free to come join us! Contact me for the details! I'd love to hear your stories of your journaling God's word!</div>

Hello friends! I hope you are all staying warm and healthy!!! This winter has certainly offered some challenges for many already! We are "hanging in there"... and thankful for every good day!<br />
<br />
Today I have a couple more cards to share with you using the ODBD release for January. For the card above, I used <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/his-love-endures-stamp-die-duos.html"><b>His Love Endures Stamp/ die duo</b></a>, <b><a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/center-step-card-die.html">Center Step Card Di</a>e </b>and<b> <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/center-step-layers-dies.html">Center Step Layers</a></b>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/lavish-layers-dies.html"><b>Lavish Layers</b></a>, and the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/romantic-roses-6x6-paper-pad.html"><b>Romantic Roses Paper Pack</b>.</a> I love this center step die and adore the papers, stamps and dies!!! It was so simple to make! I just cut my card and layers, adhered, stamped the roses, colored and die cut, and placed them on the mats I had made with the Lavish Layers dies.<br />
<br />
For the card below, I used <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/call-to-me-stamp-die-duos.html"><b>Call to Me Stamp/ die duo</b></a>. I also used <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pierced-rectangles-dies.html"><b>Pierced Rectangles</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rectangles-dies.html"><b>Rectangles</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd51-beautiful-borders-dies.html"><b>Beautiful Borders</b>,</a> <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/fancy-foliage-dies.html"><b>Fancy Foliage</b></a>, and the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/romantic-roses-6x6-paper-pad.html"><b>Romantic Roses Paper Pack</b></a>. I stamped the flowers several times in the lower right corner with VersaMark on the blue paper in the pack, then heat emobssed them in white. Then I stamped the Scripture verse the same way on a piece of Vellum, and overlaid it. I then framed it using the rectangles and pierced rectangle dies. I added the beautiful border to the top and stamped three flowers with London Fog Memento ink on white, lightly added just a tad of copic ink, and then cut the fancy foliage, arranged on the card and adhered. I love how soft this is in person. The photo does not do it justice but I futzed and futzed to try to get a better photo and could not capture it like I wanted to. The tiny teal ribbon is the only added embellishment.<br />

Hello friends! I hope you are all doing well, and that you are beginning to get in to the Christmas spirit! This week cold weather finally arrived here and they are even talking about the possibility of a little of the white stuff tomorrow! That certainly would help, as it's been quite warm thus far. (Not that I'm complaining mind you!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway... I do need to get a few more cards made to mail out soon, so here is a fun one that would work for any winter occasion as I left it without a sentiment. I have several friends with winter birthdays so if I don't use this for a Christmas card I can add a warm birthday greeting and that would work too!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the newly released ODBD <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/white-as-snow.html"><b>White as Snow stamp/die duo</b></a>, which may I just say I LOVE! The die cuts perfectly and the image is so fun to color without taking all day and an act of congress to get it done!!! :) I used paper from the <b>Christmas Paper Collection 2014</b>, and the following dies: <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/fence-die.html"><b>Fence</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/snow-crystals-dies.html"><b>Snow Crystals</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-ovals-dies.html"><b>Double Stitched Ovals</b>,</a> and the outer frame is from <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/snowflake-sky-die.html"><b>Snowflake Sky</b> </a>Background Dies. After coloring the image I colored it with clear Wink of Stella pen and love the little shimmer that gives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that's about it for me today! I have tons of things on my To Do list today, as I'm sure you do too! But in it all lets not forget that we celebrate the greatest gift ever given to mankind!!! That precious baby born is a stable knocks on the door of our hearts and asks if we have any room for Him today. I trust you have invited Him in, not as an occasional guest, but as the head of this dwelling, and the dearest friend you'll ever have... as without Him, there is no peace in our hearts. We will be constantly searching and unfulfilled until we give Him His rightful place.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So if I don't see you again before Christmas.... I want to wish each of you the most blessed Christmas season... and a new year filled with Joy!</div>

<br />
For the gift bag above, I used the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/card-caddy-gift-bag-dies.html"><b>Card Caddy & Gift Bag dies</b></a>, as well as <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/gift-bag-handles-topper-dies.html"><b>Gift Bag Handles & Topper dies</b></a>. For the sentiment, I used the cut out piece from one of the handles, and a <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rectangles-dies.html"><b>Double Stitched Rectangles die</b></a>. I used the new stamp/die duo set, the<b> <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/white-as-snow.html">White As Snow Stamp/Die Duo</a></b> and the matching snowman die. LOVE this set! I also used the following past released items: <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/leafy-edged-border-dies.html"><b>Leafy Edged Borders Die</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/snow-crystals-dies.html"><b>Snow Crystals dies</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/fence-die.html"><b>Fence</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/bitty-borders-dies.html"><b>Bitty Borders</b></a>, and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/lovely-leaves-dies.html"><b>Lovely Leave</b>s</a> dies. I created the bag itself with craft paper and I love the craft/white/red combo. The image is colored with Copics and then with Wink of Stella for some sparkle. The paper is from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/christmas-paper-collection-2013.html"><b>Christmas Paper Collection 2013.</b></a><br />
<br />
For the card below I used the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/noel-ornaments.html"><b>Noel Ornaments</b> </a>stamp, colored with Copics, then cut with the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/oval-stitched-rows-dies.html"><b>Oval Stitched Rows die</b></a>s. I used the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pierced-rectangles-dies.html"><b>Pierced Rectangles dies</b></a> to cut the green layer, and the<b> <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/merry-christmas-dies.html">Merry Christmas Dies</a></b> to cut the words from red and gold mirrored card stock. The <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/leafy-edged-border-dies.html"><b>Leafy Edged Borders</b></a> were used to cut the red border, and the flowers and leaves were cut with the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd74-peaceful-poinsettia-dies.html"><b>Peaceful Poinsettia</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pine-branches-dies.html"><b>Pine Branches</b></a>, and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/lovely-leaves-dies.html"><b>Lovely Leaves</b></a> dies. The paper is from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/holly-jolly-6x6-paper.html"><b>Holly Jolly Paper Collection</b></a> and <b><a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/christmas-paper-collection-2013.html">Christmas Paper Collection 2013</a>. </b>The image was colored with Copics, then Wink of Stella Clear glitter pen. In person there is a glimmer but it was hard to capture in the photo.<b><br /></b></div>

Hello friends! Welcome to the Nov. ODBD release! You have seen some samples already this month, and hopefully you jumped in on the special bundle pre-order, but today we're sharing more samples for your inspiration. As always, we have prizes! </div>
<div>
Three randomly selected winners will each receive a $25 Gift Code to the ODBD Website just for commenting on the Design Team cards! You
have until November 2, 2017 at 9:00 p.m. EDT to leave your comments on
the Designers Blogs for a chance to win! The Winners will be posted on
the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/">ODBD Blog</a> on November 3rd so be sure to check back there to see if
you won!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
For today's samples, I used the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/winter-cardinal.html"><b>Winter Cardinal</b></a> set. I made a more clean and simple one, and one more stepped up. I'd love to hear which style you like better! Above, I embossed the image in gold and below, I stamped it in brown ink and colored the bird and berries and some leaves with Copics. For the card above, I created a window with the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/ovals-dies.html"><b>ODBD Ovals dies</b></a> so my image sits beneath the frame, and layered brushed gold and red paper from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/christmas-collection-2017-6x6-paper-pad.html"><b>Christmas Collection 2017 Paper</b> <b>Pack</b></a>. I cut the gold and red layers with the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pierced-rectangles-dies.html"><b>ODBD Pierced Rectangles</b></a> an <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rectangles-dies.html"><b>Double Stitched Rectangles dies</b></a> and adhered to my white card base. For the card below again I cut my layers of red and craft with the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pierced-rectangles-dies.html"><b>Pierced Rectangles</b> </a>and the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rectangles-dies.html"><b>Double Stitched Rectangles dies</b></a>. However instead of the window cut out, I just cut my image with an <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/ovals-dies.html"><b>Ovals die</b></a> and positioned it on my card. For both cards, I used the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/merry-christmas-border-die.html"><b>Merry Christmas Border Die</b></a> for my sentiment. For the more stepped up card above, I also used dies from <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/lovely-leaves-dies.html"><b>Lovely Leaves</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pine-branches-dies.html"><b>Pine Branches</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pinecones-dies.html"><b>Pine Cones</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/circle-ornament-dies.html"><b>Circle Ornaments</b></a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/christmas-candles-dies.html"><b>Christmas Candle</b></a>. I also added pearls for the berries and the cardinal's eye above. So... which do you prefer?</div>

For my sample above, I used the new <b>Winter Cardinal stamp set</b>, <b>Christmas Paper Collection 2017</b>, and past releases: <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pine-branches-dies.html"><b>Pine Boughs</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/lovely-leaves-dies.html"><b>Lovely Leaves</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pinecones-dies.html"><b>Pincones</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/small-bow-dies.html"><b>Small Bow</b></a>, and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rounded-rectangle-dies.html"><b>Double Stitched Rectangles</b></a>. I stamped the image with Memento, colored with Copics and highlighted with the Copic white. I die cut my greenery and pine cones and added stickles to each element as well as adding some to the image itself. I stamped the sentiment and die cut it and the image with the Double Stitched Rounded Rectangle dies, and mounted it all on a piece of plaid paper from the new Paper pad. <br />

<br />
Hello friends! I'm back with two more cards I made with the ODBD October release. For this first card I used the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/be-a-sunflower.html"><b>Be A Sunshine</b></a> stamp set, and the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/sunflower-die.html"><b>Sunflower Die</b></a>. I also used <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rounded-rectangle-dies.html"><b>Double Stitched Rectangles</b></a> to cut almost all my panels. Used the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/fall-favorites-6x6-paper-pad.html"><b>Fall Favorites Paper Pack</b></a>, as well as the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/christmas-coordinating-2015-6x6-paper-pad.html"><b>Christmas Coordinating 2015 Paper Pack</b></a>. I added some loose burlap for a country feel, and tied the image panel with some gold twine. The image is colored with Copics. All the edges are distressed again for that country feel.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The second card below used the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/merry-christmas-caps-die.html"><b>Merry Christmas Caps Word Die</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pine-branches-dies.html"><b>Pine Branches</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rounded-rectangle-dies.html"><b>Rounded Rectangles</b></a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rounded-rectangle-dies.html"><b>Double Stitched Rounded Rectangles</b></a>, as well as <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/merry-mosaics-dies.html"><b>Merry Mosaics</b></a> and the <b><a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/christmas-coordinating-2015-6x6-paper-pad.html">2015 Coordinating Chrstmas Paper Pack</a>.</b> I added a double cut of the Merry Christmas offsetting slightly for a shadow effect. I sponged the edges of all my layers just a bit for contrast, and I added small pearls to the centers of the poinsettias which are also die cut twice for contrast. It feels so good to have a couple Christmas cards done (for the release and today)! Thanks so much for stopping by! <br />

Hello friends! Welcome to the ODBD October release! I cannot believe it is fall already, with Christmas just around the corner!!! I am so happy that at ODBD we did not just hop right over fall and into Christmas. We have a gorgeous sunflower set that I adore! I love fall decorating, and the cool crisp feel of fall evenings. I love the colors of fall, and this release really captures that feel. However, we do have some new toys to get your Christmas card production under way as well!<br />
<br />
As always, we do have prizes! Three randomly selected winners will each receive a $25 Gift Code to the ODBD Website just for commenting on the Design Team cards! You
have until October 2, 2017 at 9:00 p.m. EDT to leave your comments on
the Designers Blogs for a chance to win! The Winners will be posted on
the ODBD Blog on October 3rd so be sure to check back there to see if
you won!<br />
<br />
Now for the details on my cards. The card above is a very simple card to make and lies pretty flat for mailing. For this card I used the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/merry-christmas-caps-die.html"><b>Merry Christmas Caps Die</b></a>, the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rounded-rectangle-dies.html"><b>Rounded Rectangles</b></a> and <b><a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rounded-rectangle-dies.html">Double Stitched Rounded Rectangles</a> dies</b>, the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pine-branches-dies.html"><b>Pine Branches</b></a> <b>Dies</b>, the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/christmas-coordinating-2015-6x6-paper-pad.html"><b>Christmas Coordinating 2015 paper</b></a>, as well as the past release <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/christmas-collection-2015-6x6-paper-pad.html"><b>Christmas 2015 paper</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/lavish-layers-dies.html"><b>Lavish Layers Dies</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd74-peaceful-poinsettia-dies.html"><b>Peaceful Poinsettia Dies</b></a>, and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pinecones-dies.html"><b>Pinecones Dies</b></a>. I used some brushed gold paper for my letters, pine boughs and the backing of the pine cones. The printed paper is from the 2015 Christmas Pack, and the green mat behind the ivory layer is from the Coordinating 2015 pack. I added one gold pearl.<br />
<br />
For the card below, I used one of ODBD's <b><a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/book-fold-cards.html">Book Fold card kit</a>s</b> for my card base. I cut layers of patterned paper from the gorgeous new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/follow-the-son-paper-pad.html"><b>Follow the Son Paper pack</b></a> and the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/fall-favorites-6x6-paper-pad.html"><b>Fall Favorites Paper Pack</b></a> for the inside as well as the front. I stamped two of the beautiful Sunflower images from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/be-a-sunflower.html"><b>Be a Sunflower Set</b></a>, then colored with Copics and die cut with the matching <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/sunflower-die.html"><b>Sunflower Die</b></a>. The sentiment is stamped from the same set, and cut with the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rounded-rectangle-dies.html"><b>Rounded Rectangles dies</b></a>. <br />

<br />
For the front, I used one of my colored and die cut sunflowers mounted on some black corrugated card stock, which I layered on one of my favorite papers from the Follow the Son Paper Pack. Some twine and a little button finished it off. I hope you like it!<br />

Among the many things released today, my favorites are two awesome dies for special fold cards, along with dies for the layers!!!! That is going to save bunches of time if you are a special folds person!!! For the card above, I used the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/tri-shutter-card-die.html"><b>Tri-Shutter Card</b></a> die as well as the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/tri-shutter-layers-dies.html"><b>Tri-Shutter Layers</b></a> Dies. I used the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/remembrance.html"><b>Remembrance</b></a> Stamp Set, and the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/stars-and-stripes-6x6-paper-pad.html"><b>Stars and Stripes Paper Pack</b></a>. I also used past released dies: <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/ovals-dies.html"><b>Ovals</b></a>, <b> <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/stitched-ovals-dies.html">Stitched Ovals</a></b>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/balloons-and-streamers-dies.html"><b>Balloons and Streamers</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd79-sparkling-stars-dies.html"><b>Sparkling Stars</b></a>, <b><a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/celebrate-and-wish-dies.html">Celebrate and Wish</a> </b>Word Dies, the bow from <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/circle-ornament-dies.html"><b>Circle Ornaments</b></a>, and to cut the various elements added to the card, I cut many of them with the same Tri-Shutter Layers. I decorated with various stars and balloons, some cut with the Stars and Stripes paper, and some cut from Silver Glitter paper.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I again used <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/tri-shutter-card-die.html"><b>Tri-shutter Card</b></a> and the <b><a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/tri-shutter-layers-dies.html">Tri-Shutter Layers</a> </b>on the card below.<b> </b>I also used the new paper pack, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/stars-and-stripes-6x6-paper-pad.html"><b>Stars and Stripes</b></a>. For my stamps, I used the new set called <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/remembrance.html"><b>Remembrance</b></a>, and for the USA image on the center panel, I used the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/usa.html"><b>USA</b></a> single stamp. I used a few other dies from past releases: The <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/deco-border-die.html"><b>Deco Border</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd53-ornate-hearts-dies.html"><b>Ornate Heart</b></a>, <b> <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/stitched-ovals-dies.html">Stitched Ovals</a></b>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pierced-rectangles-dies.html"><b>Pierced Rectangles</b></a>, and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd79-sparkling-stars-dies.html"><b>Sparkling Stars</b></a>. I simply chose papers from the new paper pack for my layers and cut using the layers dies; used the card die to cut the base from 12" white Bazzill paper, and cut mats and adornments from the paper pack and from silver glitter paper. I used a "faux" shaker technique, cutting the background with the Ornate Heart Die, then I added lots of little stars from the Sparkling Stars dies, and I cut another layer with the Ornate Heart Die, this time cutting from vellum. I topped it off with a third cutting of the lacy outer border of the die and adhered that over my vellum layer. I stamped the sentiment with Red pigment ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I did the same on white card stock for my other sentiment, which was cut and then matted with a Double Stitched Oval. I used Memento inks to dual tone stamp the USA image, and cut that with a Pierced Rectangle. My card is decorated with little stars and parts of the Deco Border die cuts. It folds flat and is very mail-able. </div>

Hello friends! I hope you all are doing well! I have one more fun card made with this month's release at ODBD! I decided to make a masculine birthday card using the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/all-star-jersey-clear-stamps.html"><b>All Star Jersey</b></a> set and the matching <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/sports-jerseys-dies.html"><b>Sports Jersey Dies</b></a>. I chose the ODBD <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/plum-pizzazz-collection-6x6-paper-pad.html"><b>Plum Pizzazz Paper pack</b></a> for this card. I also used past releases: <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd79-sparkling-stars-dies.html"><b>Sparkling Stars Dies</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/balloons-and-streamers-dies.html"><b>Balloons & Streamers Dies</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/small-bow-dies.html"><b>Small Bow Dies</b></a>, and the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/happy-birthday-script-die.html"><b>Happy Birthday Script Die</b></a>. I stamped, colored and die cut the shirt, and then using different swatches of the paper, I cut the balloons, streamers, stars and little bow, as well as the happy birthday script I didn't feel the lettering showed up well on my plaid paper so I added a strip of white and I like it this way better. I finished with a little bow with a star in the center. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you know me, you know I don't do an over-abundance of masculine cards, so you can imagine how much I need a couple in my stash! I love these fun sets and they have so many possibilities. I think I will be using them a lot.</div>

Hello friends! Welcome to the August ODBD release! This month we are celebrating all things sports! It's a big release, and there's something for almost everyone! I hope you have had a chance to see the release, but if not you can see it HERE.<br />
<br />
As always, we do have prizes and here are the details:<br />
<div>
Three randomly selected winners will each receive a $25 Gift Code to the ODBD Website just for commenting on the Design Team cards! You
have until August 2, 2017 at 9:00 p.m. EDT to leave your comments on
the Designers Blogs for a chance to win! The Winners will be posted on
the ODBD Blog on August 3rd so be sure to check back there to see if you
won!</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
For my card above, I used the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/center-step-cards.html"><b>ODBD Center Step card set</b></a> and the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/old-glory-paper-pad.html"><b>ODBD Old Glory paper pack</b></a> to decorate the fancy fold. I used the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/football-stamp-die-duos-clear-stamps.html"><b>Football Stamp/Die Duo set</b></a>, as well as the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/all-star-jersey-clear-stamps.html"><b>All Star Jersey set</b></a>, and I used the Football die that comes with the Football set, and the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/sports-jerseys-dies.html"><b>Sports Jerseys Dies</b></a> that coordinates with the All Star Jersey set. I also used past releases: <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rectangles-dies.html"><b>Double Stitched Rectangles dies</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-pennant-flags-dies.html"><b>Double Stitched Pennant Flags Dies</b></a>, and the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd79-sparkling-stars-dies.html"><b>Sparkling Stars dies</b> </a>for the little star on my twine bow. I stamped the jersey twice, one on white and once on a blue paper from the Old Glory pack. I stamped the shirt's sentiment on the white shirt, and I then paper pieced the white over the blue after cutting out the pieces I wanted to leave blue. I stamped the footballs and die cut them with the included die, then I colored them with Copics. I stamped the verse on white card stock and cut with the Pennant Flag die and layered that on my rectangle die cuts. I "hung" the pennant from some twine which I topped with a tiny red star. This was a fun card to make!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For my second card, I again used the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/football-stamp-die-duos-clear-stamps.html"><b>Football Stamp/Die Duo set</b></a>, and the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/old-glory-paper-pad.html"><b>Old Glory Paper Pack</b></a>. I stamped my sentiment and cut with a <b><a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-squares-dies.html">Double Stitched Square die</a>,</b> and matted that with a regular <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/squares-dies.html"><b>Squares die</b></a> cut from the design paper. I used the football set to stamp the football, and colored with Copics, then die cut with the included die. For my hand made goal, I used a <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rectangles-dies.html"><b>Double Stitched Rectangle</b></a> and a regular <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rectangles-dies.html"><b>Rectangles die</b></a> to cut a frame, and cut off the parts I did not need. I finished off with a <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/grass-lawn-die.html"><b>Grass Lawn die</b></a>, cut from white. While this is rather CAS, really it has enough layers to be interesting and yet is still quick and easy to put together. </div>

Hello friends! I hope you are enjoying a wonderful Lord's day! It's a beautiful day here in NC! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today I have another card to share using the July ODBD release. It's pretty CAS for me but I actually like how it came out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the newly released <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/hibiscus-dies.html"><b>Hibiscus Dies</b></a>, the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/tropical-leaves-dies.html"><b>Tropical Leaves Die</b></a>, and past released <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd82-hello-die.html"><b>Hello Die</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pierced-rectangles-dies.html"><b>Pierced Rectangle Dies</b></a>, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rectangles-dies.html"><b>Double Stitched Rectangles</b></a>, and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/boho-bold-paper-pad.html"><b>Boho Bolds Paper Collection</b></a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I thought I'd catch you up on what's going on in my life, as many have asked. I am doing pretty well, though I am having lots of pain issues, which presumably are from the medication I am on, and perhaps some from just being out of shape and old. :( I have been cleared to go until Nov. without seeing my Oncologist unless I develop symptoms. The frustrating part of that is... what are symptoms? If I called him every time I have a new pain he would be my personal Dr. and have no time for anyone else! So... I wait and pray.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On another front, my hubby has been having some concerning symptoms where he feels like he is passing out, and sometimes does go to the ground, though he has not totally lost consciousness. So he has been undergoing multiple tests, including a 30 day heart monitor. The stress test did show a problem and the Cardiologist gave him some meds to stabilize his heart rate and make it beat more efficiently, and there is a procedure he will need to have done when the Dr can figure out which one of three possible causes is the reason for his symptoms. He officially retired on June 2 and we haven't hardly had time to realize it, having lots of family here for 11 days, and with Alan having these tests. It's been a busy time, but it was so special to spend this time with family from CA whom we don't get to see very often! Our goals for the next few months are to get our house ready to list, and get it on the market. We have purchased land in TN near to our daughter and her family and look forward to building a retirement house there whenever the timing is right. We have been traveling up there nearly weekly trying to tend to things there, and can't wait for this next adventure to begin! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So as you can see.... there's no lack of excitement here! But we are praising the Lord for His hand of protection upon us and continue to seek His leading in all these things. We continue to thank you for your prayers.... they mean so much.... and we do covet them!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Have a wonderful day!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
</div>
<div>
For my first card above I used the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/bon-voyage.html"><b>Bon Voyage</b></a> stamp set for my image and sentiment, and I used the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/hibiscus-dies.html"><b>Hibiscus</b></a> Dies, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/tropical-leaves-dies.html"><b>Tropical Leaves</b></a> Dies, and the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/ferns-dies.html"><b>Ferns</b></a> Dies, as well as past releases, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/lattice-background-die.html"><b>Lattice Background Die</b></a> and <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd63-mini-tag-dies.html"><b>Mini Tags</b></a>. I used papers from the <b><a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/boho-bold-paper-pad.html">Boho Bold Paper</a> </b>Pack for the blue background behind the lattice, and the big tropical leaves. To create my hibiscus flowers, I played with a couple different techniques. The large pink flower was colored using Derwent Inktense pencils, which are colored pencils which when you wet with water, the result is permanent ink. I did this on watercolor paper, colored in the die's embossed veins, then used water to draw that out, leaving the veins darker and the surrounding area various shades lighter. For the pink and yellow flower I sponged Memento Lux ink in to the center of the flower, following the embossed area of the flower die, then sponged the edges very lightly in pink ink, lightly drawing it inward on the petal, and then I took clear water on a brush and drew it more in toward the center, allowing the pink to penetrate into the embossed veins on it's own. For the solid yellow flower I just watercolored with my cake watercolors, using a tiny brush to add the veins. I did a lot of hand embossing and curling of petals on my piercer to shape the blossoms, and for a couple of them, I snipped the blossoms a bit deeper toward the center so I could overlap petals or roll them a bit differently than the die allowed. The yellow and pink one is not snipped at all and represents the die exactly as it is, and I scrunched up the petals before gluing. I added the die cut stamens to which I had added flower soft and Mudd Puddles Maui to the centers. I added some tropical leaves and ferns and stamped the sentiment, then die cut that with a Mini Tag. It is tucked in with little pink satin ribbon.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For my next card, I used the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/bon-voyage.html"><b>Bon Voyage</b></a> stamp set, the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/ferns-dies.html"><b>Ferns</b></a> dies, and the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/frangipani-dies.html"><b>Fragnipani</b></a> Dies. I also used the past released <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/ovals-dies.html"><b>ODBD Custom Ovals</b></a> dies, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/pierced-ovals-dies.html"><b>Pierced Ovals</b></a>, and the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/boho-bold-paper-pad.html"><b>ODBD Baha Bold Paper</b></a> Pack. The scene is water colored on watercolor paper which I masked with an ODBD Oval die cut. Once that was dry I added the front palm tree image and the distant palm trees using VersaMark ink. I cut several ferns from the new Ferns die set, and a Fragnipani flower, which I water colored and curled on my piercer. I stamped the sentiment from the Bon Voyage set and die cut with the ODBD Custom pierced ovals, and matted with an ODBD Custom Oval die cut of paper from the Boho Bold pack. I added one crystal to the center of my flower. I also stamped an extra palm tree and hand cut the middle greenery so I could pop it up over my sentiment. </div>

Hello friends! Welcome to the ODBD June release! I cannot believe summer is here already, and with June comes all those beautiful June weddings! Well Our Daily Bread Designs has some wonderful stamps and dies to help us with these cards! As always, there will be prizes for this release:<br />
<br />
<div>
Three randomly selected winners will each receive a $25 Gift Code to the ODBD Website just for commenting on the Design Team cards! You
have until June 2, 2017 at 9:00 p.m. EDT to leave your comments on the
Designers Blogs for a chance to win! The Winners will be posted on the
ODBD Blog on June 3rd so be sure to check back there to see if you won!</div>

If you have not had the chance to view the entire release, you can do so <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/2017/06/june-new-releases-and-blog-hop.html">HERE</a>. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For my first card, I used the new stamp set, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/long-lasting-love.html"><b>Long Lasting Love</b></a> for the gorgeous cake image. I stamped with gray ink, colored with watercolor paints, and hand cut the image. I used the ODBD <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/tri-fold-cards.html"><b>Tri-fold Card kit</b></a> (in white) to create my card base. I used the brand new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/wedding-wishes-paper-pad-collection.html"><b>Wedding Wishes Paper Pack</b></a> to decorate the card, and then I added the gorgeous new die cut, <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/scalloped-chain-die.html"><b>Scalloped Chain</b>,</a> and mounted that on the front of my tri-fold, extending it all the way across the opening to create an A2 sized front. You could see through this entire panel, and I wanted to use the new <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/mr-mrs-die.html"><b>Mr & Mrs. die</b></a> on the front, but wanted it to show up better than it did directly on the die cut background. So I added a square of the design paper, then the Mr & Mrs die cut. I matted with a dark gray square (from the Wedding Wishes pack) on the other side of the die cut to finish it off nicely when the card is open. On my inside panel I cut squares of two shades of gray and one of patterned paper from the wedding paper pack. I left my center pop up panel blank to add a sentiment when I need it, but you could always stamp that panel or hand write on it before you adhere it.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Here is another view of the tri-fold card and how I altered it by adding a peek-a-boo layer with the Scalloped Chain Background die cut. To finish the card I used three tiny blossoms which I cut from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rose-dies.html"><b>Roses die</b></a> set, and I added Stickles and some Wink of Sella for a little glitz. I mounted the blossoms and leaves from the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/fancy-foliage-dies.html"><b>Fancy Foliage die</b></a> set on to a tiny little white satin bow. </div>

For my next card, again I used the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/mr-mrs-die.html"><b>Mr & Mrs Die</b></a> cut, the <a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/long-lasting-love.html"><b>Long Lasting Love</b></a> stamp set, the <b><a href="https://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/scalloped-chain-die.html">Scalloped Chain</a> </b>Background die, as well as past releases <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/vintage-borders-dies.html"><b>Vintage Borders Die</b> </a>and <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-pennant-flags-dies.html"><b>Double Stitched Pennant Flags Dies</b></a>, and for the flowers, I used<a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/bitty-blossoms-die.html"> <b>Bitty Blossoms</b></a> and the tiny die in the <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rose-dies.html"><b>Roses</b></a> die set, and a <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/fancy-foliage-dies.html"><b>Fancy Foliage</b></a> die.</div>

I used a silver paper to back my Scalloped Circles die cut in white, and I heat embossed the cake image and sentiment from the Long Lasting Love set in silver. I hand cut the cake and used a little watercolor paint to give a touch of color. I die cut the Vintage Label from white and mounted that on the background die, then added the sentiment tucked under it just a bit, popped up the cake on foam dimensionals, and added my flowers and ribbon. The finishing touch was tiny pearls. This card was simple to make and is very mail-able too! We all love that, right?</div>

Perhaps a little of that inspired my card today using the new April release from Our Daily Bread Designs. My images (from the <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/lovely-flower-clear-stamps.html"><b>Lovely Flower</b></a> set) are stamped with VersaMark on five vanilla card stock panels, which were cut with the <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/fancy-fan-die.html"><b>Fancy Fan Die</b></a>, and then I heat embossed the images with gold. I arranged the fan and adhered it to a background made from die cutting a vanilla` panel with the <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/lattice-background-die.html"><b>Lattice Background Die</b></a>. I matted that on to a top folded vanilla A2 card. I created the rose using the new <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rose-dies.html"><b>Rose Dies</b></a>, and the <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rose-leaves-dies.html"><b>Rose Leaves Dies</b></a>. I sponged pink on the edges and soft yellow in the center of my rose petals and used my large ball embossing stylus to create the petal shapes. I curled them around my piercing tool and glued them together to create my rose. I added some little crystal flakes to give a little shimmer to my petals. I sponged some green on to my leaves and the flourish from the <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/fancy-foliage-dies.html"><b>Fancy Foliage Die</b></a> set, and tucked in a tiny gold cord bow. I love the softness of how this came out. I was trying for a Victorian looking fan and the rose just had to go with it. I left it without a sentiment for now as I'm not sure yet how I will use this. It is very versatile and could be used for many occasions I think.</div>

So that's it for me today. Thanks so much for stopping by! I have been having fun playing with my new kitten. Sadly, we lost Ricky, our almost 14 year old cat on Jan. 31 to cancer, and I have missed him so much! We found a litter of Ragdoll kittens and I was totally hooked! Here is my new little kitty. We were told he was a she, and named her Annie, but when I took him to the vet, I found out otherwise! I think we will name him Andy, but still not sure! He is adorable, very loving, but very mischievious and a real rascal with a ton of personality! What boy's names do you think of when you see this sweet face?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For my first card above, I used the new <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/lovely-flower-clear-stamps.html"><b>Lovely Flowers</b></a> for my sentiment, and I used the fabulous new released dies: <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/lattice-background-die.html"><b>Lattice Background</b></a>, <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rose-dies.html"><b>Roses</b></a>, <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rose-leaves-dies.html"><b>Rose Leave</b>s</a>, and the past released dies: <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/fancy-foliage-dies.html"><b>Fancy Foliage</b></a> and <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/csbd55-vintage-label-dies.html"><b>Vintage Labels</b></a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I simply folded a top fold A2 card, die cut the lattice background from the same white card stock, die cut the Vintage Label from pink card stock and sponged with worn lipstick distress ink. I stamped the sentiment and die cut the panel with a smaller Vintage Label and popped each layer up on the lattice background. To make my floral spray, I die cut several of each size petals from the Roses Die set, sponged with worn lipstick, spritzed with water, and scrunched up. I left them to dry all scrunched up. Once dry, I opened them and using my large ball embossing tool and a mat, I worked the petals until they cupped a bit and then I layered them up by size. I made the bud by turning several of the smallest petals around my straight piercing tool to create a circular shape. I glued each petal over the last, overlapping just a bit. I cut a bit off the bottom and glued the bud to the inside of the rose. I made one little blossom the same way but only used a few petals. I die cut several leaves from the Rose Leaves die set and a flourish from the Fancy Foliage die set. I felt the flowers needed center stage so I left off any further embellishments. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this next card (below) I used the new <b><a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/lovely-flower-clear-stamps.html">Lovely Flowers</a>,</b> <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/fancy-fan-die.html"><b>Fancy Fan</b></a>, <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rose-dies.html"><b>Roses</b></a>, <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/rose-leaves-dies.html"><b>Rose Leaves</b></a>, <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/lattice-background-die.html"><b>Lattice Background</b></a>, as well as the past released <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/happy-birthday-script-die.html"><b>Happy Birthday Script</b></a> die.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this card I stamped the floral designs with Real Red and die cut the panels with the gorgeous new Fancy Fan die. This die is so intricate and can be used several ways. It can be used to create a stand alone fan, or to add a fan to a card, and it can also be used to create borders and even the images and sentiments can be cut with the die in such a way that there is a fancy label type cut around them. Watch the DT this month for more ideas!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway... this card is a center step card. I used real red behind the lattice background die, and then die cut 4 floral images and 2 sentiments from the Lovely Flowers set and put them together to form a fan. I popped up the fan over the lattice on foam dimensionals. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To create the rose this time, I did not spritz with water or scrunch up. Instead, I just worked the fibers over really well with my large ball stylus. It took a lot to shape these flowers because this card stock is very heavy, but the look I think is very pretty. I did cut my petals apart to create this rose, and I'm pretty happy with how it came out looking like a rose. I sponged the edges with fired brick distress ink, used my piercing tool to curl the edges of the petals down a bit, and I die cut 3 of the leaves and sponged them lightly as well. I adhered this rose with hot glue since it is large and needed to be secure.</div>

Hello everyone! Today marks a special celebration of Our Daily Bread design's 9th Anniversary!!! My but time flies when you are having fun!! ODBD has released a new <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/celebration-clear-stamps.html"><b>Celebration</b></a> stamp set as well as a die set, <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/large-numbers-dies.html"><b>Large Numbers</b> <b>Dies</b></a>. As in our regular releases, there will be 3 prizes of $25.00 credit toward stamps in the ODBD Store! To be qualified to win one of these prizes all you have to do is leave a comment on each designer's blog, because the winners will be drawn from the comments on three designers blogs. If you did not see the release already, you can do so <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/2017/03/odbds-9th-anniversary-celebration-and.html"><b>HERE</b></a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So for my card above, I used the new new <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/celebration-clear-stamps.html"><b>Celebration Set</b></a> to stamp my words with Taken with Teal ink on white card stock. I die cut the panel using the <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rectangles-dies.html"><b>ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rectangles</b> </a>dies, and matted that with some teal card stock cut with the <b><a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/circle-scalloped-rectangles-dies.html">ODBD Custom Circle Scalloped</a> </b>dies. To the main panel, I added the teal numbers die cut with the <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/large-numbers-dies.html"><b>Large Numbers</b> <b>Dies</b></a>, and I added a heart balloon from the <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/balloons-and-streamers-dies.html"><b>ODBD Custom Balloons and Streamers</b></a> die set. I added some baker's twine to finish it off. This is going to my sweet soon to be 16 year old granddaughter in a few weeks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the card below, I again used the <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/celebration-clear-stamps.html"><b>Celebration</b> <b>Set</b></a> to stamp all my words. (The word "the" is just one word in the Scripture verse included in the set. To stamp it, I placed it where I wanted it and inked up just the word "the". To make sure no other letters got inked I used tape over nearby letters when I inked and then removed the tape before stamping). I die cut the numbers from the <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/large-numbers-dies.html"><b>Large Numbers die set</b></a>, arranged them on my main panel, matted with gold, and adhered to a blue panel decorated with a gold ribbon and tassel. That is all mounted on a white base.</div>

Hello friends! I hope you are in the mood for spring because we are celebrating spring this month at Our Daily Bread designs! For the card above, I used the new March release of <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/god-s-blessings-coloring-pages.html"><b>God's Blessings Coloring Pages</b>.</a> I just love working with these pages! They are fun to color, and they have wonderful Scriptures on them. With very limited "extras" you can make a special meaningful card! I colored the page with Copics, trimmed it down, and matted it with the new <b><a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/circle-scalloped-rectangles-dies.html">ODBD Custom Circle Scalloped Rectangle Dies</a> </b>cut from some purple card stock. I mounted that on a yellow piece of card stock and then that on to a white top fold A2 card.<br />
<br />
For the card below, I used the new <b><a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/daffodils-1565.html">Daffodils</a> </b>stamp set and the matching <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/daffodil-die.html"><b>ODBD Custom Daffodil Die</b></a> to create a bouquet of daffies, which I "potted up" using one of the dies from the <b><a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/glorious-gable-box-die.html">Glorious Gable Box Die</a> </b>Set. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set and die cut it with an <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/circle-scalloped-rectangles-dies.html"><b>ODBD Custom Rectangle die</b></a>, matted that with a green die cut using the <b><a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/double-stitched-rectangles-dies.html">ODBD Double Stitched Rectangle</a>, </b>and adhered that to my flower pot. I created a grassy "floor" for my bouquet using the <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/grass-lawn-die.html"><b>ODBD Custom Grass Lawn die</b></a> and the <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/grass-hill-die.html"><b>Grass Hill die</b></a>. This is all adhered to a 5 X 7 card<b> </b>and finished with a little yellow sheer bow. <b><br /></b><br />

<b><br /></b><br />
<br />
First card (above) was made using the new <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/daffodils-1559.html"><b>Daffodils</b> </a>stamp set and matching custom <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/daffodil-die.html"><b>Daffodil die</b></a>.<br />
I also used the newly released <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/circle-scalloped-rectangles-dies.html"><b>Circle Scalloped Rectangle dies</b></a>. I stamped multiple daffodil images with Daffodil Delight ink to create a background to place behind my Circle Scalloped Rectangle dies. I did cut and layered the dies, then stamped the daffodil image and die cut with the daffodil die. I adhered this to my layered dies with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment from the same set and hand cut the panel to fit my layering panel. I added a seam binding bow and one pearl in the center of the daffodil for a little pop of elegance. This is a very simple and inexpensive card to create, which we all love, right? <br />
<br />
While we are talking about simple, check out the new <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/god-s-blessings-coloring-pages.html"><b>God's Blessings Coloring Pages</b></a>, just the perfect size for an A2 card! For the card below I colored my page mostly with Copics, but I did to the lettering with Prisma Pencils. I added some Wink of Stella to my blossoms for a little bit of shimmer, which really pops off the page in person. I do love coloring these! I had to get used to the light touch because the ink does spread easily and could possibly wander, so you want to stop short of the line and just let it blend, but I found it to be almost self blending on this very smooth paper, and thus very easy. The result is so pretty and takes no time to do!<br />

For this card I used the <a href="http://ourdailybreaddesigns.com/deco-border-die.html"><b>Deco Border Die</b></a> and a strip of white pearls to embellish the bottom. I absolutely love how this came out and I'm thrilled to have these coloring pages!!!<br />
