ODBD-Looking Back at March

Good morning!

Today we are taking a look back at Our Daily Bread Designs March Release, here are the cards I created  

ODBD stamps: Keys To Happiness

ODBD dies: Double Stitched Squares , Layered Lacey Squares, Squares, Doily, Double Stitched Circles, Keys, Double Stitched Rectangles, Rectangles, Flourished Star Pattern

ODBD paper: Christmas Card Collection 2015
Card details:
I stamped and embossed my sentiment with VersaMagic and Detail Gold Powder then Die cut it with the Double Stitched Circles. I die cut all the rest of my layers from White Linen and then framed the white with gold mirror paper.  My card base is folded white linen A-2 size.  I did use a dot and diamond dot embossing folder on some of my layers as well.
The keys were die cut from a paper out of the Christmas Card collection.
Lots of pearls were added and a sheer white ribbon bow to finish it off.

My next card features: New release stamp: Superstar and favorite Shine On.

Also the new release die set Double Stitched Stars, and favorites Flourished Star Pattern,  and Sparkling Stars, Vintage Labels, Vintage Flourish Pattern .

Card details:

I stamped and embossed the sentiment same as above card, I also stamped and embossed the stars with silver detail powder as well as the gold.

I used the Double Stitched Stars die to mat each star with gold or silver mirror paper (the stitches REALLY show up well on the metallic paper).

After cutting my layers of white and gold for the card I wrapped my Flourished Star Pattern panel with 1 1/2" white satin ribbon and tied a bow with 1" white satin then I started layering all my stars and sentiment layers on top. Card base is the usual (for me) A-2 folded white linen.

I love the verse on this card!  It shows just a tiny bit how great our God is. 

Psalm 8:3-4

 "When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, What is man that You are mindful of him"

Yet, He calls US all by name too and knows the number of hairs on our heads, for those who know Him, He has written our names on the palms of His hands!

He has created the galaxies and yet He love me and you!

John 3:16New Living Translation  “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life."  That my friend is love!

ODBDSLC272- Anniversary Lace

Good morning!
Today's challenge has to do with the 8th anniversary gift of lace because
we are celebrating the
8th anniversary of Our Daily Bread Designs.
Use lace, either real or paper and a scripture
for this challenge.

ODBD stamps: Key To happiness, Butterfly and Bugs, Trois Jolies Papillons

ODBD dies: Keys, Squares, Double Stitched Squares, Layered Lacey Squares, Butterfly and Bugs, Trois Papillons
ODBD Paper: Blushing Rose Collection

I used both real and paper (that looks like lace) for this card.
I started with a pink base for this card and added machine stitching to the edges. I then layered Blushing Rose and white panels cut with the Layered Lacey Squares or the Double Stitched Squares.  Lace and velvet ribbon were added toward the bottom along with the curly pink open weave ribbon and button.
Lastly, I stamped, colored and die cut my butterflies and added then to my card along with some pearl "trails" behind the butterflies and pearl butterfly heads.

John 14:6 

Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me. 

If you are like many people today you think that it is politically unacceptable to say that there is only one way to heaven but did you know that the God who created all things, including heaven, sent His only Son to pay the penalty for mine and your sin...HE is the one who says, through His Son Jesus, that there is only one way to be saved...not me. 

John 3:16

16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.

Don't be fooled into the "world's" version of popular beliefs, they will not justify you to God when you see Him face to face.  Eternity is a long time, be very sure of what and who you believe in.  Read God's Word, the Bible, today...even if you don't have one you can find it on line for free. Here is a link to one of them.

ODBD-8th Anniversary Bronze

Good morning!!

To start off Our Daily Bread Design's 8th Anniversary celebration we are

bringing to you our Bronze cards.

I looked up the color Bronze on Google and it showed colors ranging from

a reddish brown (like copper) to a medium brown color.

I decided to do a combo of Bronze colors mixed with a bit of gold.

I used the Winter 2014 paper collection and the Christmas Card Collection 2015 for this card along with some dark gold, copper and vanilla for my other papers.  Perfect pearls-Bronze, and some copper Brilliance ink was used for the flowers and some brown Prills (U S Artquest)

for my flower centers.

ODBDSLC271- ANYTHING GOES

Good morning!

This will be a two week challenge because

we have a special Anniversary week coming up with
 another special challenge (and more)!

Be sure to look for it starting Monday, March 14th.

Today I'm using the new Keys die, it goes well with the new Key To Happiness but also goes very well with the Key To Heaven stamp set from last year!!

ODBD stamps: Flourish Label Borders, Key to Heaven

ODBD dies:New release Keys, and Vintage Flourish Pattern, Vintage Labels, Flourished Star Pattern, Mini Tags

ODBD paper: Blushing Rose Collection

I used the Flourish Label Borders stamp set in brown (on the green paper) and green (on the Vanilla paper) then die cut each with Vintage Flourish Patter and Vintage Labels dies.   I then cut my background from the Rose paper (from Blushing Rose) with the Vintage Flourish Pattern background die and glued it to a vanilla panel then to another green pattern paper from the pack.  I then sponged with Walnut distress ink especially the corners and added my popped up labels after wrapping my base with light sage green sheer ribbon.  I cut my keys, cross and heart then sponged them lightly and hung all on the key ring, made a double bow with the ribbon and that's it!

Thought for the day:

31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. 32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.

Ephesians 4: 31-32
