December with Our Daily Bread Designs

By on December 1, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have some projects featuring the brand new December products from Our Daily Bread Designs.

My first card features the new Winter Greetings set with this adorable owl image:

I created a bokeh effect background using Distress Oxide inks in Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron, and Iced Spruce. Then I added some circles with white ink and pearl Gansai Tambi watercolor paint.

I colored up that owl in Copics and added some white gel pen to make him look more fuzzy. Don’t you just want to squeeze him!? Here’s a close up of him:

My next card features the new Flourish Tree Inset die:

Isn’t that a beautiful tree. Imagine how easy cards can be using this die and some colored cardstock! I used paper from this paper pack and added some red glitter cardstock behind the die cut image. Then, I used the word “JOY” from the Peace and Joy die set as the sentiment. I colored it in three colors of green Copics and used the same green Copics on the bow on top of the tree. The bow is from an earlier set that I adore: the Ice Skate die set.

My last card today features the new Peace & Joy die. It is a great size for a card front!

Here I used paper from the Christmas Collection 2017 Paper pack. I die cut the Peace & Joy, then added some red fun foam behind the letters to pop them up. To finish it off, I added some Pine Branches and a Pinecone next to the word “Peace.” I just love the size of this die cut!

There’s a lot more to see of the new December Release! Check out the Daily Bread Designs blog here to see the full release and a lot more inspiration from the Design Team!

Musical Piano cards

By on September 21, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello there! Today I have some fun Musical Piano cards for you. I cannot get enough of this Piano Die from Our Daily Bread Designs.

I’ve already shared some black glossy piano cards, so today I thought I’d share some other colors. First up is this cream piano, complete with a saxophone accompaniment!

I gold embossed that saxophone on the piano and added some musical notes. To add more color, I ink blended the background with Distress Oxide over this music stamp.

Next, I have this wood grain piano with lots of colors!

This is such a fun set…can you imagine what colors of pianos you can make?! I saw a beautiful powder blue piano on google, and even a RED piano! And some with rainbow colored piano keys!

For some small cards, I cut down some cards to a square 4 1/4″ and just used the keyboards on these.

But even though I didn’t use the top portion (lid) of the grand piano die….I still used it as a STENCIL to get those great lines on the cards! Check out this short video I posted on Instagram to see what I mean here.

I hope you enjoyed these projects today. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Balloon Over London with Hedgehog Hollow

By on August 16, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a card to share that I like to call “Balloon Over London” featuring the August Hedgehog Hollow subscription box.

I just couldn’t resist the idea of this little hedgehog floating over the London skyline at dusk. He’s on an ACTION WOBBLE (that came in the subscription box), so he moves and wobbles and it’s so cute!

I used Distress Oxides to ink up the background in the colors Fossilized Amber, Broken China, Faded Jeans, and Seedless Preserves.

I colored the images using the Marvy Watercolor pencils that came in the box, and then added detail and dots with markers and a white gel pen. Here’s a close up:

Isn’t he cute?! I love this month’s box.

If you haven’t heard…there’s a sneak peek to next month’s Hedgehog Hollow box and it’s going to be featuring Catherine Pooler!! (So exciting!) If you haven’t tried Catherine Pooler inks, you are in for a treat…because one of her NEW ink colors is going to be included in the box! We will also be seeing some beautiful floral stamps and I just can’t wait to ink those up.
