May 1 Release Blog Hop

He-restores-my-soul-2

Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying the May Our Daily Bread designs Blog Hop!

If you got here from Lorelie's Incredible Blog you are in the right place! If not, you might want to start at the Our Daily Bread designs Blog and hop from there!

The Hop will run from 8am EDT May 1 until 8pm EDT. May 2. The winners will be announced on the ODBD Blog on May 3.

For this hop, there will be

FIVE Prizes of $25.00 Gift Certificates toward stamps

at the Our Daily Bread designs store!

Here is what you need to do to be entered in the drawing:

  • Leave comments for each designer on each blog
  • Return to the ODBD Blog and leave a comment, telling us you completed the hop and noting any blogs you were unable to comment on.
  • Answer the question on the ODBD blog

Now on to my projects... I used the Porch set designed by Dina Kowal to create my card above. I used the Vintage Border Embossing Plate to emboss the lower edge of the matting of the image. I colored the image with Copics.

He-restores-picnic-basket-1

I was inspired by the wicker on the porch scene and decided to create a picnic basket. This is my own design, so if you are interested in a tutorial or instructions on size, etc. mention that in your comment and I will work on it. I embossed the basket with the Vintage Border Embossing Plate and then made strips for the handles. The handles are attached with brads so they swing.

He-restores-picnic-basket-2

The strip around the top of the basket is folded down into the inside after the brads are attached so you have a nice neat inside as well. Then I stamped and cut the verse from the same Picnic set, using my Spellbinders Label Seven, then tracing the outside of the die for my black border. I tied that on with some red gingham ribbon.

He-restores-picnic-3

I then used Scriptures from Scripture Collections 1, 2 and 4. I cut them with Spellbinders Large Classic Rectangles, then matted with red plaid dp and mounted on black. The white cs and tan cs are Gina K. The Black is Basic Black, and the dp is from my stash and is unknown. The Doily is Cheery Lynn designs.

I hope you enjoyed my projects today! Now I'll send you on your way.... from here, hop on over to Sweet Sandee.

Have a wonderful day!!!

    Not only was I stunned by the way you "painted" the stamped image, but was stunned to see the snazzy little card basket and scripture cards, too! What an amazingly talented woman of God you are! (p.s. -- I LOVE your choice of music for your blog!)

    I would love to be included in taking a tutorial of how you made your little basket.

    Your card is charming! You used so many nice touches like the woven border and the gingham and embossing. The image looks so nice popped up and matted with the black paper.
    LOVE the basket! What a sweet presentation idea. The cards with the scriptures are just lovely. A tutorial would be fantastic, if possible.

    Dearest Grace~
    What amazing pieces! Where to start? The top card with the image of the porch--I love the colors you chose. They really brought that image to life...I love the designs you put on the pillows, and the color of the house, to the shutters and window! Amazing!

    And, your picnic basket is so beautiful! It would make such a love filled gift! I know you are creative...you are a genius! Creating things like this. I love the texture on it...and the folded over handle is wonderful...but the cards inside are so beautiful. True picnic colors...I love gingham...and what a way to display His Word!

    Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful projects!

    I love the card and the basket. The embossing on the basket and the swing handles are a fantastic idea, I would love to make one. I love the red checks, and the feel of that card makes me think of the "Andy Griffith Show", which I'm enjoying watching recently on a retro-network. Gives such a cozy homey feeling. Love it all!
