TLC and CAS and NCC! Got it? :)

Good morning!  

I played a little bit yesterday with one of my new stamps from North Coast Creations!  It's called Floral Sentiments and has this beautiful flower stamp in it along with some great sentiments. I wanted to try my hand at the TLC for this week to watercolor on Kraft card stock in and image that has been heat embossed in white.  Got it!  The CAS challenge this week was to use scallops.  Got it!  And I tried to follow the Color Challenge but that didn't really happen.  My colors ended up too dark.  I added a pretty bow and a flower center made with some goodies that my sweet friend sent to me!  Sparkly!

Here is the NCC stamp set:

Hope y'all have a wonderful Wednesday!  See ya again soon!

A Look Back at the ODBD September Release

 Good morning ODBD friends!  Today the bread sticks are taking a look back at the September new releases!  My card features the Jingle Bells set!  I was in the mood to create an elegant Christmas card!  I colored the image with copic markers and cut it out with a Spellbinders long oval.  I added white flower soft for the snow areas.  I created the shaped base card with Spellbinders Labels 29 and the added a layer of a diecut from Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles.  I made the banner using one of the dies in Spellbinders A-2 Matting Basics A.  The seam binding bow was made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker.  I also 'painted' the image with stickles for an icy look!

Here are a couple of more photos:

Have a beautiful day!

So Berry Sweet!

Good morning!  Today, the ODBD designers are taking a look back at our August release!  Such fun sets to play with!  Who doesn't like being blessed with a bountiful garden!!!   Today, my card features the Garden Minis set and the Strawberries set!  I am using the sketch from the ODBDSLC166 this week.  I am also entering this to the Word Art Wednesday challenge #93-Anything Goes (with scripture or encouraging word).  I colored the mini basket of strawberries with copics.  The scalloped circle die cuts are from the ODBD/Spellbinders Recipe Card and Tags dies and the background is the ODBD/Spellbinders Quatrefoil Pattern die.  I made a frame with Spellbinders A-2 Matting Basics dies (using Scor-Tape to adhere the background to the frame) and the bow was made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker.  I then added the button to finish the card!  One thing I don't mention much is that I use my Scor-Buddy at least once for EVERY single card I make!  I love having that little tool right at my fingertips!  

Here are the August sets I used:

Gazebo Through the Window

Hey y'all!!!  I wanted to try my hand at the TLC on SplitCoast this week to create a window on the front part of the card with the image and sentiment on the inside.  And I just had to have this beautiful Gazebo from North Coast Creations peeking through!  My window was created with Spellbinders A-2 Matting Basics, Spellbinders Ovals and the ODBD/Spellbinders Quatrefoil Pattern Die.  I added pearls to the Quatrefoil Pattern and then cut the flourish with the ODBD/Spellbinders Fancy foliage Die.  Then I added a seam binding bow I made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker!

Here is the inside:

The inside is also a frame made with the Spellbinders A-2 Matting Basics and the Spellbinders Ovals.  I colored the Gazebo with copic markers.   The sentiment is from the ODBD Hyacinth set.  

Here is a close up look!

Just For You!

 Hi everyone!  So glad you stopped by!  

Today, a few of the 'bread sticks' are focusing on a couple of our custom ODBD/Spellbinders Dies!!!

The Recipe Card and Tags Dies and The Apron and Tools Dies!

These dies go so well with this month's new releases too!  My card features The Recipe Card and Tags Dies along with the new Garden Mini Set and the Peaches Set.  I colored the strawberry with copics and cut it out with the circle from the die set, which is then popped up on the larger of the tags in the set.  This is layered over the Spellbinders Labels One and the Cheery Lynn Designs French Pastry Doily.  I made the little bow out of twine with Becca's Peg Bow Maker. 

Here are the other ODBD supplies I used today:

I am entering this to the latest challenge at Word Art Wednesday!
WAW92-Anything Goes (Scripture or encouraging word)

I know you are going to love seeing what the other designers have done using these dies!

 Good morning and Happy Saturday!  

I wanted to share this card I made for several challenges!

DTDG13Twinshappy(challenge details for SCS Fan Club members only)

WAW91-Anything Goes

WT438-Doctored Up(feature anything medical related or a thank you card)

The Gingham Background is an ODBD stamp.  I made a frame with Spellbinders A-2 Matting Basics dies.  The strawberry images and sentiment are from new ODBD sets, Strawberries and Garden Minis.  I colored the images with copics and highlighted with Copic Opaque White.  The greenery is from ODBD/Spellbinders Fancy Foliage dies and the tag is from ODBD/Spellbinders Recipe Card and Tags dies.  I made the pretty bow with Becca's Peg Bow Maker!

Here is another little card I made:

A CAS card very similar to the one I shared the other day!  

This time I used the little mason jar from the Garden Minis set.   

PLEASE NOTE: The flowers are hand drawn by me! They are not a stamped image.  

I couldn't resist!  I love flowers in mason jars!  I colored everything with copics.

  'with love' is masked from a sentiment in the Garden Sentiments set.  

Here are the ODBD sets and supplies I have featured today:

          

 

And that is it for today!  Enjoy your weekend!

Here is my first card:

My first card features the Strawberries set along with the new ODBD/Spellbinders Fancy Foliage Dies!  The image is colored with copics and highlighted with Copic Opaque White.  I made a frame out of designer paper using Spellbinders Labels 26, Scalloped Labels One, and Marvelous Squares.  I made the little bow with Becca's Peg Bow Maker and adhered it to the button to complete the card!

My second card features the Garden Minis set and the Garden Sentiments set.

A quick little CAS card!  I colored the image with copics and did slight touches with the Copic Opaque White again.  With the help of my Stamp-a-ma-jig, I stamped the sentiment and highlighted the greenery with a copic marker.  And then just framed it with embossed Spellbinder Squares.  

***Pssssttt!... This little image is a sneak peak of a future ODBD set!!!  Stay tuned!***
