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:

Rum Pum Pum Pum and a Beautiful Bookmark Made Just For Me!

 

Hello there!  Hope everyone has had a good week so far!  I have a couple of projects to share this evening.  One made by me and one made by my oldest granddaughter!  

First, here is another Christmas card for my stash!  Woohoo!  

I used the new Little Drummer Boy set from Our Daily Bread designs.  

 

He is so cute and so fun to color!  I colored him with copic markers and cut him out with a Spellbinders Oval.  I layered the oval over the ODBD Custom Quatrefoil Pattern Die which is framed with Spellbinders A-2 Matting Basics.  The sentiment was masked from the little music stamp!  I made the bow with Becca's Peg Bow Maker and attached it to complete the card!

 And here is the second project I want to share tonight!  

Last night I kept my three granddaughters for a few hours.  My oldest grand, Eileen, had found a tutorial on how to make corner bookmarks and had already made one for herself.  It looked like a monster and I wish I had taken a photo of that too!  Oh well!  But while my granddaughters were here, Eileen, made this one for me!  Isn't it so pretty!  Pink and lace and a pretty flower!  Can't get much better than that!  Sorry the photo is a little blurry.  I took it with my iphone.  And I should have taken a pic of the back too but unfortunately I did not!  We used the cute little Stamped by Mini-Chickadee and then she signed her work!  

She is a crafty little lady at 11 years old!  She crochets too!!!  So proud of her and all my grands!!! They are all such a blessing from God!

Well, thanks for stopping by to see my latest card

and for letting me show off one of my grands for a little bit!

Have a wonderful Thursday!

Did you know?

 Hello there!  Did you know that ODBD has so many exclusive custom dies?  Today I am featuring the newly released ODBD Custom Fancy Ornaments dies!  So beautiful!  I made a frame with Spellbinders dies and then added the ornament which is hanging from the twig die from the ODBD Custom Fancy Foliage die! Then I just added lots of rhinestones for a little sparkle and a silver bow!  The little 'merry' sentiment is masked from a sentiment in the new Jingle Bells set.

 Here is another card using the beautiful Fancy Ornament Dies!

 This card has a softer look with lace and pearls and buttons.  The center portion of the largest ornament is cut free hand out of the same designer paper in the background.  (I had to do that to cover up a stamping booboo!)  So no stamping on this card!  haha!

Here is a look at the ODBD supplies I used:

Five Christmas Cards in April!

 

Hello!!!  Here are my April cards for the SCS Christmas Card Challenge!  I only made five this month but that is ok!  These were simple to do.  All white with a generous splash of red!  I cut out the Spellbinders 2010 Heirloom Ornaments.  I also cut out a frame with a smaller size, which I tucked back into the original opening.  I used some pretty red papers behind the Ornaments.  I stamped the sentiment from the ODBD set called Chickadee Ornament and added pretty red bows I made with Becca's Peg Bow Maker!

Here are the ODBD supplies I used:

CCC13-February

 Happy Monday!

I hope y'all had a wonderful weekend!  I have some cards I made for the Christmas Card Challenge on SCS and for February's Fan Club Christmas Card challenge to case someone!  I chose to case two cards by one of my favorite designers, Angela Maine, Arizona Maine on SCS!  I loved her bluejay card seen here!  I made six cards using the cardinal from the ODBD set called Sing For Joy.  He makes a pretty good blujay, huh?  He is colored with copics and accented with stickles.  I masked off part of the sentiment and cut it out with a Spellbinders Oval.  I layered him over the SU! embossing folder and I made six cards!

I decided to case another one of Angela's cards seen here.  I made six more cards using the Luke 2:11 set.  I colored the poinsettia image with copics and used stickles again to accent.

 

I embossed the panel with another SU! folder and cut it out to add to the card base.  I also added pearls to the center of the poinsettia!  Done!!!

Here are the two sets I used:

 

Thanks for taking a look!  Hope you have a great Monday!

Glory to God

 

Here are my January cards for the Christmas Card Challenge on SCS!  I used  the Angel set from ODBD as well as the Chickadee Ornament set.  The angel is colored with copics and highlighted with stickles.  Easy layout and flat for mailing! 

Thanks so much for taking a look!
