August ODBD Release Blog Hop

Families-Stitched-3

Hello friends of ODBD! Welcome to the August release blog hop!  If you got here from Sabrina's awesome blog, you are in the right place! If not, you might want to start at the ODBD Blog where you will see the entire list with links just in case any are broken along the way!

The Hop will run 8am EDT Aug 1 til 8pm EDT Aug 2.
The winners will be announced on the ODBD Blog on Aug 3.

There will be FIVE great prizes!
Five blessed people will win $20.00 gift certificates for ODBD STAMPS!  
These certificates will be good for 6 months!!!

Here is what you have to do to be qualified to win one of these prizes:

  • Hop to each designer's blog and leave a comment
  • Return to the Our Daily Bread designs blog and leave a comment telling us that you completed the hop, making note if there were any you could not comment on.
  • Answer the question on the ODBD blog in your comment on the ODBD blog (not all the designers blogs)
I have to just tell you that this month's release is huge, and it's my all time favorite!  As a quilter and sewer, I connect with these in so many ways!  The sentiments are fantastic and cover friends AND family!  I know you are here for the hop so I'll stop rambling and get right to my project details:


I made a shadow box wall hanging, using Sew Special (stamped twice and popped up), and the Pincushion Tag Set for my sentiment.  I used Memento Ink and colored with Copics and Prisma Pencils. 

Families-Stitched-Shadowbox

The base paper is Papertrey, and I matted with SU! Old Olive.  Everything is sponged with T Holtz Antique Linen.  The background for my image is a chenille scrap from a discontinued interior decorator's book that I thought looked like quilted squares.  It adds lots of texture to the wall hanging.  You look at everything differently when you paper craft... because so many different things can be used in your art!  I got mine from my dear friend at Terryfic Times (my lss), but if you visit furniture stores and ask, they often have discontinued fabric as well as wall paper, both of which work wonderfully with paper crafts!


Families-Stitched-Shadow-bx

I pierced my borders with an Ornare Piercing template and piercer.  I tried to replicate some of the quilt patterns I have used in the past when quilting for the border.  The little additions to the box include many little family treasures like the tatted lace, an old English thimble, and an old pack of needles.  In my sewing basket I found the label from an old tatting spool, and I layered it with several layers of card stock, punched holes, heat embossed several times with UTEE and made a faux button with it.

I hope you have enjoyed my shadow box.... but there's so many wonderful ideas to see, so I will sent you on your way.....

From here... you will hop to the talented and sweet BECCA to be amazed!

Thanks for stopping!

    Fantastic work. You are so right about using so many things in papercrafting. It really lets mixed media take over, and you think about including things you never dreamed of using before. You did a great job!
