June Release for Our Daily Bread Designs

By on June 1, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Happy June! Today is a very special day because it’s the new JUNE 2018 Release for Our Daily Bread Designs! Today I have three projects to share with you.

I’m using affiliate links when possible, at no additional cost to you. Thank you for supporting my blog!

The first uses two brand new products that I love: Sister in Christ stamp set and Flourishy Frame Die set.

Aren’t they just beautiful? I added a few sequins and Jewel Nuvo drops to add some fun! For the background, I masked the edges of the die cut square and then inked on Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry, Cracked Pistachio, and Evergreen Bough. Then, I stamped the image over the top in my favorite crisp, dark black ink.

The next two projects use the new God’s Beauty Coloring Pages. These pages are sized at 3.5 in x 4.75 in, so they will easily fit on an A2 size card.

I added some glitter drops and Nuvo Jewel drops for fun. This page I colored with Copics, and as we all might know, the reds/oranges have a tendency to bleed…so I did have a bit of a problem with bleeding on the flower itself. But I found that the paper was nice and smooth. I added just a touch of sparkle in the middle of the flowers and on the butterflies.

On my second panel I used my favorite Prismacolor colored pencils on the coloring page. At the time of posting this, there is an amazing sale on these pencils at Amazon here! (A WAYYYYYY better deal than I got when I bought my set. Lol.)

For this card, I colored up the fish coloring page and popped up a turtle on the top for a dimensional look! The sentiments on both cards are from the Inspiration Words Die. I partially inked the die cut word using Distress Inks in Scattered Straw (on the fish card) and Abandoned Coral (on the poppy card). I’ve been collecting the Mini Distress Inks lately so I can keep even more colors organized in my craft room!

I have a quick video sharing 6 Ways To Add Dimension and Interest to a flat card. Watch it here or on Youtube:

Thanks for visiting today! I’ll be back next week sharing a few more of the new June release items that I love. See you then!

Two Totes, Two Turtles, and a Beach

By on May 25, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! How do you like my title for today? I just had to share a few more projects featuring my FAVORITE products from Our Daily Bread Designs for the month of May.

With the Royal Wedding last week, I just had to make some scones and Tea Totes/Purses. Yes!! I really did make scones (see below). The “Tea Totes,” as I like to call them, work so well with the Mini Cups & Mugs dies I used on the tags:

sunshine-tea-purse

That sentiment is from the Hug In A Mug Stamp Set…it’s so perfect! The paper I used is from this paper pack, and I think it’s perfectly girly with that Small Bow Die!

This purse was a bit lonely on it’s own, so of course I had to make another…this time using a fancy whipped cream-topped drink for the tag.

Add a few scones…and some tea bags…and you’ve got a perfect little Tea Tote to give to a friend. Or, if you’re like me, eat all the scones and then replace them with a store bought treat to put inside the tote. Lol.

I have my recipe here to share, if you would like to make them yourself!!

Now for my turtles! I LOVE this set from ODBD and I can’t stop creating with it. I was searching online for some photos of real turtles and I kept seeing some that had golden lines on them…which caused me to think of GOLD embossing on my turtles!

I made a video for you on how to create this background and I share my favorite TRICK for adding just a touch of embossing powder on any image! Watch it here or on YouTube:

And then of course I needed to try it out in silver! Oh…I love the little holes in the embossing on these “coral”…it makes it look so real. When I use only one layer of embossing powder I can get this fantastic result!

I was not only inspired by photos online for these turtle cards, but also by a little turtle we picked up in Newport Beach…here he is:

He’s cute, right? I’ve been playing around with other variations of this turtle and it has been so fun to make cards, tags, you name it!

And my last card today is this beautiful beach scene. I cannot tell you how much I love this set with ALL of it’s sentiments.

sunshine-breath-beach-chairs

Breathe. Just Breathe.

Don’t you love those wispy clouds? I used Distress Oxide Inks and then a barely damp chamois to lift off some of the color, leaving these beautiful clouds. For the sand, I inked on some Distress Oxides and then used my favorite SAND TECHNIQUE using the Distress Spritzer. I have a video here if you’d like to see just how I did this.

So there you have it. Weddings. Scones. Totes. Turtles. And Beach Chairs.
A lovely combination, don’t you think?
