A Look back at the October Release with Our Daily Bread Designs

By on October 19, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! I hope you’ve had a chance to see the entire October Release from Our Daily Bread Designs, because it is fabulous! Today I’m sharing two cards using some of the products.

First I had to create a card front using the beautiful Bethlehem dies set.

I used the Pierced Ovals dies to create the frame and inked it up slightly with Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink. I heat embossed the back layer of the building tops with copper embossing powder before adding them to the kraft background. The trees are colored with copics. Isn’t this a beautiful scene?

To finish it all off, I added the Merry Christmas Caps die at the top.

Here’s a look at the inside of the card, where I stamped a sentiment from the Christmas Card Scriptures Stamp set:

This sentiment is such a beautiful way to say Merry Christmas!

My next project features the Diorama with Layers set. This is another new favorite of mine and this time I’ve paired the Brick Gate Border with the Neighborhood Border die.

Look at that sweet little neighborhood! I’ve added some chunky glitter to the rooftops to add a snowy feeling. The paper is from this set. The Pinecones Dies and Pine Branches Dies are must-haves, in my opinion!

The Brick Gate Border offers a way to ink up those bricks through the die when you leave it on the die cut piece! (That’s how I got all those individual grey bricks).

I hope you enjoyed these projects today and got inspired.

October New Release from Our Daily Bread Designs

By on October 1, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! I’m so excited to show you some of the October new release products from Our Daily Bread Designs! This month brings some fun Christmas themed products and a fantastic Diorama Die! Have you ever made a Diorama card? They are so much fun to build scenes with lots of dimensional layers.

Here are are few of the Diorama Cards I made:

I used these new products on this diorama card: Diorama with Layers, Neighborhood border die, Icicle border die. And this is kind of like a box card, where you can fold it down to fit into an A6 size envelope for mailing! So cool!

sunshine-o-little-town-2

This card uses the Diorama Card and Bethlehem dies (the Bethlehem dies include the buildings and the palm trees! I love those palm trees). I used Distress Oxide ink to add color to the very back of the diorama, and I used paper from this pack to add to the front.

I love that the Diorama with Layers die includes an option to cut an OVAL front OR a SQUARE front! Did you notice that the fronts on each of these two cards was a different shaped opening?! What a brilliant design for this die.

And here are the Three Wisemen with the Bethlehem border in the background. These wisemen are so beautifully detailed. The star is from a previous release called Holy Night die.

But these products can also be used to create a regular card:

Here I colored up those Wisemen with Copic markers and added an inked background with a sentiment from the Christmas Verses set. Here’s a close up of those wisemen with their wonderful robes:

Such a fun release! There are a lot more products in this release…so don’t stop here!
