For my center step card above I used the new Birdhouse set, as well as the new Art Deco Border Die. I simply sized my dimensions on the center step to fit the Art Deco dies on the sides. The papers are from the ODBD Blushing Rose Paper Pack, and other dies used are the ODBD Lavish Layers , Ornate Ovals, Ovals, and Fence die. I stamped the image with Memento ink and colored with Copics, then hand cut the image and mounted it on an Ovals die, on which I had sponged some sky and clouds, and then I matted the oval with an Ornate Ovals die cut, and added the Fence die across the bottom, and the sentiment on it is cut with a Lavish Layers die.
For the card below, I used the new Thanks for Everything Stamp/Die Combo, as well as the new Pierced Squares dies. I also used a new Trellis Strip Die on the left side of the card. I started with a base of craft, then added a layer of design paper from the Blushing Rose Paper Pack, then I cut two white pierced squares, two patterned pierced squares, and then an outside frame from the pattern paper, mounted on to a white square on which I had stamped the "for everything" sentiment. I die cut the word "Thanks" from craft and sponged with Memento Rich Cocoa, and adhered that to the sentiment panel. I cut out a rose cluster image from the same paper pack and added it and some greenery from the Lovely Leaves Die set. I finished off with a butterfly cut from the same paper pack using the Bitty Butterflies die set. The sentiment panel and roses are popped up with foam tape. A few little pearls finished it off.
Here are the NEW ODBD products I used today:
I really love these new sets and dies!!! I'm having a lot of fun playing with them and I hope you enjoyed the samples today.

ReplyDeleteHello Grace, Oh my Goodness! These cards are my absolutely favorite. You are so amazingly talented. I am in awh. The way you incorporate the strip dies, your coloring is beautiful and the cute fence just tops off the 1st card. Then you go one step further in your second card, from the paper selection to placing the squares on the diagnal, to fussy cutting the roses, adding the trellis strip and the sweet butterfly. So Creative and Inspirational. Gorgeous work my dear. Thank you for the inspiration.
