Hello friends! Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Design's February Release Blog Hop! If you got here from our Sweet Sandee's blog, you are in the right place! If not, you might want to start at the ODBD Blog so you don't miss a thing.
I am excited about this month's stamps, and have had a blast playing with them. Before I share my card, let me just give you the details of the hop:
- The hop will run from 8am EST Feb 1 until 8pm EST Feb 2
- Winners will be announced on the ODBD Blog on Feb 3
- There will be THREE prizes: One $20.00 Gift Certificate, One $40.00 Gift Certificate, and One $60.00 Gift Certificate for STAMPS in the ODBD Store!!!
- To qualify for one of these prizes, simply hop to each designer, leave a comment on each blog, and return to the ODBD Blog to tell us you completed the hop, noting if there were any problems along the way. That's it!
I made a Z fold card using Let the Earth Rejoice, and Earth's Gladdest Day. The base is 6 1/4" x 11 1/2" and I scored at 4 1/4" and 7 7/8". The purple designer paper is from Kaisercraft Lilac Ave dp and embossed with a Craftwell embossing folder, then inked with Vintage Violet. I stamped the image from Let the Earth Rejoice with Memento and colored with Copics, cut out with Spellbinders Classic Circles Large. I also used a Spellbinders Lattice Pendent as a mat for my main image. The bow is May Arts Silk.
I stamped the sentiment and cut with SB Antique Frames and Accents.
For the middle panel, I stamped the image from Earth's Gladdest Day in Vintage Violet and left the rest of the panel white so a message could be added there.
My back panel is simply a piece of green dp from Kaisercraft Lilac Ave. pack, and added a Spellbinders Fancy Lattice. I wanted that lattice to show from the front of the card, but I liked the entire panel done with is, and with plenty of room on the middle panel for a message, I decided to use the whole die cut.
Here are the new sets I used:
In case you missed my sneek peeks, I will share a couple with you here. For the details on these cards and one other, just scroll down to the three posts below this one. This card is made with Earth's Gladdest Day.
This card is made with Chalkboard- Johns.
I hope you enjoyed my cards today! I know you will be blown away at your next stop.... our Ever So Talented Julie!
Thanks for stopping by!
Blessings,

Hi, Grace! Your card is over the top! The Z fold showcases your work perfectly. I love the image (beautifully colored) and displayed on a circle with the lattice pendant behind it. The verse you chose says it all!
AND, for the umpteenth time, I want you to know how much I enjoy the music...
OOPS! I was so taken with your first card that I almost missed the 2nd one. The chalkboard look is new and quite interesting. You have displayed the verse panel so beautifully on the floral background with a touch of gold and a big bow. WONDERFUL!
You have inspired me. Thank you!!!
Hugs,

All of your cards are gorgeous!! I really like the tri-fold one with those gorgeous flowers and that lattice panel inside. Wow!!!!!
Oh - I love that there are two different sets with the crocuses giving two perspectives - I hadn't realised that till now. They're such a harbinger of spring, it's lovely to see them. Lovely on your card, too with those wonderful colours and the lovely lattice panel.
Beautiful cards.

All of your cards are so very Lovely. The die cuts add such delicacy.
Grace, you have outdone yourself with all of these beauties!
Beautiful cards! They bring to mind a nice spring day!
I'm in a "wow" mode. These are absolutely beautiful, Grace. Thank you for sharing these with us.
Beautiful cards,Love your work,scrappinggg.blogspot.com/
Your Z fold card is stunning. I love the surprise of this fold. The chalkboard card is also very appealing but nothing can beat the crocuses. They were a special flower for my mother before she passed away last year and I think of her whenever I see them.
I love that particular scripture stamp, and the creations you have made with it are spectacular! What a beautiful way to celebration our Lord's resurrection with others.

OMG...all stunning cards! Love the colors & die cuts on your first card! Also love the pure white card with just a touch of beautifully colored flowers. And the patterned papers you used on the third are fantastic!
Great use of the lattice die, Love that idea! and your chalkboard card is a glorious dandy I want those chalkboard stamps so much now!!!
Stunning card, Grace! I love the colors you chose and so admire your Copic work. The bow and pretty die set off the central image perfectly. Then....there is more beauty inside. Thanks for the great crafting inspiration!
Precious cards! I love your designs!
Wow! All three cards are amazing. I especially like the Z-fold card...first time I've seen one...Love the crocus , the colors, everything..
Oh, Grace, what a gorgeous Z-fold card with those beautifully colored flowers and all the white lace. That bow is so perfect with it too!
I love your other 2 cards too, so beautiful! Blessings! Kathy
Never a disappointment visiting to see what you have created. Love the layout of the first with the crocus. Fabulous coloring and use of those dies. The chalkboard card - great scripture surrounded by delish paper and ribbon. Refreshing.
Grace...absolutely beautiful! God bless!
