May 2018 Release with Our Daily Bread Designs

By on May 1, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Today I am sharing a project(s) I created using Our Daily Bread Designs May Release. I am so excited about this release because everything is so calm and peaceful…let me show you what I mean.

This first set I’m featuring is called “Come to Me” and is a beautiful scene of beach chairs at the ocean…oh, how I wish I was here in this picture!

I colored this up with Copic markers and added some white gel pen dots to the ocean waves to make it look like the ocean foam. Doesn’t this scene just look dreamy!?!

And here are the projects I have to share using the Turtle Love set:

That turtle is just so AWESOME! Lol. I colored him up using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then added him to some paper from this paper pack. This is probably my favorite ODBD paper pack of all time!

For my last card today, I am featuring the Lever Card Die. I have never used a die like this before, and I LOVED it! Just look at how fun this turtle is on a moving lever card:

and here is the inside:

Totes Beach Collection

By on April 25, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello again! Today I’m so excited because I have another collection to share with you using the Timeless Totes dies and Layers add-ons from Daily Bread Designs. It is a fantastic die, and probably my favorite crafty item right now!

I have created a beachy theme (another of my favorites) for this collection:

This beach tote has a watercolor feeling, using these papers from Our Daily Bread Designs. Oh, and did I mention they also have a wallet die that fits inside the purse? It is called the Petite Pocketbook Die and it is so cute! Here I made a beachy sand wallet using papers from the same collection.

But that’s not all….oh, no. If you know me, you know that I love making collections and this purse die was screaming out for a collection!

See that one on the left? It is so beautiful to use the Tote Embossed Inset Die as a stencil!! Normally, you would use this die to emboss a darker cardstock to make it look like leather. But I wanted a BEACH feel, so I used the die to emboss that beautiful design, then I inked it using Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink and a finger dauber.

The striped one in the middle is painted with watercolors! I used a kraft paper for the base of the purse on this one, reminiscent of sand. Notice the fun rope knots on the handles; doesn’t that just scream beach tote to you? (it does to me!)

I also created a video for you to show you just how easy these purses are to assemble! Watch it below or on YouTube:

And I also had a little fun creating a no-line watercolor card to match my beach tote. I wanted it to have the same feeling as the tote:

This fish set is also from the April release of Our Daily Bread Designs, and you can find it here. I used the bass fish and Gansai Tambi watercolors to paint the water, then I stamped the bass using a very light colored ink. I colored over it using watercolors and I think it has a soft, beautiful feeling.

If you haven’t already seen my Essentials Collection, you can view it here…it’s a beautiful collection of neutrals and black and white purses that are much more elegant! Here’s a peek at one of my favorites:

The Beach Collection is much more informal and beachy! So fun that there are so many options you have with this set. I might be a little obsessed…Lol.

I hope you enjoyed my collection of beachy totes and cards today! I love that you can make so many variations with these dies! So. much. fun.
