Timeless Totes with Our Daily Bread Designs

By KariV on April 11, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Today I want to introduce you to an awesome purse die from Our Daily Bread Designs. It’s called Timeless Totes and is so much fun to create with! I felt just like a purse designer, and I just couldn’t stop at one. Instead, I created two entire lines: The Essentials Collection, and The Spring Collection:

THE ESSENTIALS COLLECTION

THE SPRING COLLECTION

One thing I love about this die set is that it’s so versatile! You can add the tassel in various colors, you can add the pocket, you can add the buckle…there is so much you can do to change up these purses.

For example, take a look at this spring collection: on the blue purse I added the pocket and a buckle, the yellow purse I simply added a small flower on the pocket, and the purple purse I added the tassel to the pocket that was embossed for interest. Also, look at the beautiful papers that you can change up to make any feeling you want! (You can bet I’ve got more collections coming)!

Here’s a closer look at the spring collection, it’s a casual, happy collection with sweet spring colors:

I added the cream color on the handles of this purse for more interest. And that sweet little flower is from this set.

Take a look at those side pockets! These are so awesome because when you attach them, they create that soft curve…perfect for holding a cell phone, right?! Lol.

The purple tassel is one of my favorites…matches those pretty handles!! Do you need a purple purse in your life?

And for the Essentials Collection, I had some fun with embossing on the body of the purses.

Look at those KEYS!!! I used this die here and heat embossed them several times with silver embossing powder. I just love them hanging off the purse! I wouldn’t have to dig through my purse to find my keys if they hang so nicely on the side like this! Lol. I used another die here to emboss those circles around the face of the purse, and I added a black “leather like” band around the bottom of the purse.

Notice the stitches around the edges of this purse…I simply used a black pen! So easy. And here I used gold foil paper for the buckle and around the top of the tassel. I just ADORE those finishing touches. I embossed the double stitched square dies in the center of the purse. Doesn’t that just add some class?!

This embossed purse might be my favorite! I used pearl paper so in real life this purse just glows with pearlescent beauty! I used this die here to create the diamonds in the purse, and added black paper on the sides for a dramatic look! It’s so fancy! Oh, and see the gold plate near the top of the purse…that’s part of the buckle that I cut with gold foil paper; just imagine that’s where the designer label is etched.

This taupe purse rounds out the Essentials collection. Here I used white for the tassel and the buckle to match the fun polka dots on the pocket. And that pocket really opens! It’s held closed by a small piece of velcro.

So which purse would you need to add to your purse collection? I just realized that I would need a basic black purse too, and probably a red purse, and a turquoise purse….Lol. I have a few more to create, don’t I?

I hope you enjoyed these collections today! Do check out these dies at Our Daily Bread Designs, I think that they are so much fun to create with.

Wavy Words Banner Stamp/Die Duo

By KariV on April 4, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I am so happy to share some projects using a new set by Our Daily Bread Designs. This product is called Wavy Words Stamp/Die Duo. I love that the words in the set fit perfectly in the banner die that is included!

Here are my happy projects:

The font is so fun on that Happy Birthday sentiment, don’t you think? If you look closely, you can see the embossing on that banner die. I die cut the banner, and then ran it back through my die cut machine using the embossing mat to get the best impression! (I’ll show you what I mean in the video below).

This next card uses the embossing technique with a die, as well as HEAT embossing on the Mr. & Mrs. Here I used one of my favorite colors of embossing powders: Liquid Platinum by Ranger. I used mostly white on white, with just a touch of blue Distress Ink in the background.

My last card is a favorite because it uses SUNSHINE!

To see how you can easily ink up an embossed image like this one, take a look at my video here or view it on YouTube:

Check out the blog for Our Daily Bread Creations here to see all the cards lined up! (so inspiring, in my humble opinion). Thanks for stopping by!

Bunny Banner and Shaped Easter Cards

By KariV on March 28, 2018 in Easter, Paper Crafting

Hello again! Today I have a few more Easter projects to share using beautiful products from Our Daily Bread Designs. I used the same Hoppy Birthday stamp set to create a Bunny Banner and some Shaped Easter cards.

This banner was fun to make, but even more fun to display. I used all pastel colors with the star of the show in the center! That bunny is so cute.

The beautiful eggs are die cuts you can find here.

The next project is a shaped card using the same Boho Egg Die that I used above. This time, I used that cut out as a STENCIL and stamped the bunny over the top!

That Boho Egg die is sure beautiful…and look at how it performs as a stencil! I added a bit of colored pencil to the grass and daffodils, and a few Nuvo Drops to add more color. Isn’t this a fun card?

To make this egg shaped card stand up on its own, I just cut a portion of the lower part of the back of the card to be straight!

The last project is this shaped card using the Large Banner Die as the card base:

If you partially die cut the banner, leaving the top of the card in tact, it creates a banner shaped card base! So easy to do and it’s nice to have a different shape.

For this card, I took some finger daubers and added three different colors of ink to the Dazzling Doily stamp to create a softer look. Then I stamped the bunny image over the top. Some Nuvo Jewel Drops finish off the card.

I hope you enjoyed my banner project and shaped cards today. Will this inspire you to try some shaped cards of your own? Happy Easter!

Easter Boxes with Our Daily Bread Designs

By KariV on March 22, 2018 in Easter, Paper Crafting

Hello! With Easter inching closer and closer, my mind is on all things bunnies and chocolate. So today, I’m sharing an adorable Easter Box using the new Hoppy Birthday stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs.

I love this bunny stamp, and I paired it with the Glorious Gable Box die to make this cute Easter gift box! To do this, I cut the die and before folding it to assemble the box, I stamped the bunny stamp, masked it off and inked up the background.

I created a movie to show you how to easily create this project!

On the back, I also used the gradient inking technique, and then I heat embossed the sentiment from the same stamp set.

I love this Glorious Gable box die….it not only cuts the shape, but also embosses the design to make it look fabulous! I’ll show you what I mean; Click below to watch the video:

I used some seam binding ribbon from my stash to finish off the boxes. I’m giving these to my granddaughters this year…one of them has the favorite color of Orange, and one of them loves Green! How perfect is that?

I hope you enjoyed this project today! Happy Easter!

Easter Monogram Cards with Our Daily Bread Designs

By KariV on March 14, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I am excited to show you how beautiful the new Monogram dies are from Our Daily Bread Designs. You might be thinking…just how great can a monogram die be? Well…take a look at these beauties; not only do they die cut a good-sized letter with a pierced detailing around the edge, but they also EMBOSS the middle of the letter to create a striking look.

Take a look:

I colored a portion of the Letter E die with Copics so you can see the beautiful effect of this embossing. It is so striking in real life!

I used the pretty new paper pack just released called Beautiful Blooms for the background. For the sentiment, I took the Happy Easter die and cut off the E! This way, I could use it with my monogram to create the word “Easter.” The flowers are from the Bitty Blossoms set and the Easter Eggs dies set.

Here’s another I created using a different color scheme and a square card:

Isn’t that die so pretty?! For this card I inked on some Distress Inks in Evergreen Bough, Faded Jeans, and Salty Ocean. I colored the leaves and flowers with Copics and I left the die cut word in all white.

I hope you enjoyed these projects! If you need a Monogram Letter die, consider these newly released letters…they are just gorgeous! (I think I’m going to have to start collecting a few more)
