My sample was made with the new God Verses Anniversary Stamp Set.

Creative Nugget:  This comforting verse from the book of James is one of the scriptures from the new God Verses stamp set.  The background for my card was made using the Wax Paper Resist Technique demonstrated by the talented Angella Crockett and can be found on the ODBD You Tube Channel.  The next layer of this card was made with the Quatrefoil Pattern Die and was popped up with foam tape.  Next, the Gilded Gate die cut was painted with a layer of Glossy Accents and added.  Both the positive and negative layers of the Grass Border were used for depth.  The morning glories from the Glory stamp set were colored with Copic Markers, fussy cut with several extra flowers popped up for dimension, and added to the Quatrefoil layer.  The scripture verse was cut and matted using the Antique Labels Dies.  A silk ribbon and several flowers cut with one of the dies in the Ornamental Crosses die set were added to finish garden scene.

The stamps and dies used to make this card can be found 
at the Our Daily Bread Designs Store!

Taking a Look Back at ODBD May Release

Hello friends!  Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs May Release.  A wonderful sentiment from the Key to Heaven stamp set was just what I needed to encourage a friend.  You will see gorgeous angel wings, beautiful papers, and uplifting sentiments as you stop by each of the designers' blogs.

 Here is my sample:

Creative Nugget:  A Z Fold card base was created using a piece of textured card stock I found in my stash.  Then I grabbed some gorgeous papers from the Rustic Beauty Paper Collection and started to decorate the panels of the Z Fold to look like a door. The only stamping here was the sentiment from Key to Heaven which was stamped on a piece of DP cut with the Circle Ornament Die and mounted on a Spellbinders Circle Nestie and and a Fancy Tags Three Die.  The keys from the Angel Wings Die set were cut and embossed from Early Espresso card stock and attached with a loop of button twine.  The card stays closed with a piece of Seam binding.

And here is the card opened.

The sentiment was completed on the inside on matching pieces of DP cut and embossed with the Vintage Flourish Pattern Die.  A few spirals of the Fancy Foliage Die were used as an accent, and although it is difficult to see in the photo, some of the morning glories from the DP were cut and popped up on the foliage to finish the card.

Here are some of the supplies used  available at the 

Our Daily Bread Designs Store:

Welcome to ODBD May 2014 Release

Hello friends!
The beginning of May means another fabulous release by Our Daily Bread Designs.  I'm ready to say good-bye to April showers and welcome May flowers! This release, filled with Morning Glories and Angel Wings, will help to do just that!

Three winners will be randomly chosen from the comments left on the designers' blogs to receive a $15 Gift Certificate to the ODBD Store to be used toward the purchase of ODBD stamps.  You have until May 2, 2014 at 9:00 p.m. EDT to leave your comments!  The winners will be posted on the ODBD Blog on May 3rd, so be sure to check back there to see if you won!

Here are my samples for this wonderful release:

Creative Nugget:  The beautiful Heart & Soul designer paper was mounted to a Smokey Shadow card base, and four of the Decorative Corners Dies were stitched together on Smokey Shadow card stock to form the background for the sentiment.   The sentiment, from the Key to Heaven stamp set, was embossed with Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder onto the Vintage Label Die.  The Ornate Hearts Dies were aded to the label and to the ribbon. The keys from the Angel Wings die set were cut six times…three were glued together for each key... then embossed with Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder and tied to the heart to finish the card.

Creative Nugget:  The Stair Step card base was made with Pure Luxury card stock.  Gelatos were scribbled onto a white panel and blended with a watercolor brush to make the sky on the back panel.  Clouds were added to the sky using my finger and some Gesso.  The Quatrefoil Pattern Die was used to form a kind of trellis for the middle step.  The sentiment from the Holy Angels stamp set was stamped on the Vintage Flourish Pattern Die, Angel Wings were attached, and mounted to the trellis.  As an afterthought, a Wink of Stella marker was used to give the Angel Wings a bit of shimmer.  The Morning Glories from the Glory stamp set were colored with Copic Markers, fussy cut and added to the Fence Die for the bottom step.  A bow and one of the Morning Glories were added to finish the card.
