Poinsettia Love

By KariV on November 9, 2018 in Christmas, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m sharing some of my favorite POINSETTIA stamp (and die) sets! These are so beautiful and I couldn’t resist making a bunch of cards using the new November 2018 release from Our Daily Bread Designs.

I colored this up in some pink Copics in the colors E50, R81, R83, and R85 so I could match that beautiful new Christmas Collection 2018 Paper from Our Daily Bread Designs. I used the Snowflake Sky die to cut out the white snowflake background, and attached the poinsettia spray to some black fun foam to add dimension.

This next one shows the large poinsettia stamp set. It also comes with it’s own die to cut out the image! I love that it is included! The size of this stamp is perfect to fill an A2 size card.

I added some Pine branches from this die, and that beautiful paper with the woodgrain is also from the new paper pack. The Merry Christmas sentiment is red glitter paper cut out with the Holiday Words dies.

The last card features the same poinsettia die as the first card, and this time I added two of the poinsettia sprays over the Lattice Background Die.

I love that you can mix it up a bit by just adding another spray of flowers. I also love how the leaves turned out! I used a classic Copic green color combo in YG17, YG67, and YG03.

I hope you enjoyed these beautiful poinsettia projects today! Have you started on your Christmas cards yet? If you are looking for poinsettias to add to your holiday cards, they are on sale as a bundle, which you can check out here. The bundle includes the paper pack I featured here, as well as the Poinsettia Box stamp set…which is also so beautiful! So go ahead and check it out.

November Release for Our Daily Bread Designs

By KariV on November 1, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello again! I’m sharing some cards using the November 2018 release from Our Daily Bread Designs. This month is filled with poinsettias and ornaments and it is beautiful!

First up is this large poinsettia stamp and die set called “Merry Christmas.” This is my new favorite poinsettia of all time. It is so detailed and large enough to fill an A2 size card!

I love that this set includes the die to cut out that beautiful poinsettia.

The background paper is a part of the new Christmas Paper Pack 2018. I had to create a pink poinsettia just so I could use this dreamy paper featuring the blush colored florals. The banner die is from a previously released set here.

Next is the fun Poinsettia Box stamp. This one is so different from anything I’ve seen. Here I’ve paired it with some die cut florals and a sentiment “Joy” from the new Merry Messages die set.

I hope it makes you think of overflowing joy, like it does me! I love the look of the flowers falling out of the box 🙂

The last card I’m sharing today features the new Retro Ornaments set. I’ve already made a sneak peek card with this set using Copic markers to color them (find it here); and today I’m using the new Retro Ornaments Paper Pack with these fun ornaments.

Don’t these just scream RETRO? Lol. I have so many projects I have in mind with these fun dies.

I hope you enjoyed these projects today. For more inspiration using the November Release and to see the other designers projects, be sure to visit the ODBD Blog here.

Diorama Cards make Sweet Scenes

By KariV on October 26, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello again! I’m back with a few more Diorama cards. I love that you can make sweet little scenes with these dies. Here I’ve created a little snowy neighborhood with visiting deer!

These dioramas have the option to have multiple layers inside your frame. I have 2 different layers here and in real life it’s so dreamy. I love adding a little Star Dust Stickles to the icicles, it adds just the right amount of glitter!

My next Diorama features my all-time favorite nativity set:

The angel and the star are cut from silver foil paper. I heat embossed the sentiment in the back with silver embossing powder.

To make the nativity characters a little sturdier, I die cut and backed them with chipboard.

There are so many options you can choose with papers and additions for these Diorama cards. I added the red & white washi tape to the front layer for a pop of color. All other products are from Our Daily Bread Designs.

I wish you could see the multiple layers…these photographs don’t do these sweet little scenes justice!

To see just how easy it is to put together these Dioramas, watch my video here or on YouTube:

Here are a few more diorama cards I’ve created. Can you tell I just LOVE these Diorama with Layers dies?!

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

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

By KariV 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 KariV 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!

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!
