Scripture Challenge - ODBD's 7th Anniversary

     Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Hope your day is off to a great start!
     Today, I have a card for the Scripture Challenge over at Our Daily Bread Designs as they celebrate their 7th Anniversary.

     The scripture I chose for this card comes from the Friendship (B52) collection of ODBD stamps. I also used the Asters and Leaves dies from ODBD to make the mint green center of the 'flower'. I used additional die cuts from Spellbinders to complete the flower. The beautiful watercolor cardstock come from the Painted Petals stack from DCWV.  
     You can submit your own scripture card to ODBD. Check out the details here: http://ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/2015/03/scripture-collection-stamp-sets-blog.html
     May the Lord be glorified by the work of my hands,

DCWV Stack-a-holic Card Challenge February 2015

      Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you have someone special to love.
     I have two cards to share today. Both use the same sketch (below), but I need a feminine and a masculine card this year.

      Both cards use cardstock from the CANDY CANE LANE stack from DCWV. I just love finding ways to use Christmas papers in other ways like here with my Valentine's cards.

     As you can see in this feminine version I used the CLEAR ADHESIVE JEWELED SHEET also from DCWV. I love these sheets! So easy to cut and so elegant.

     I made the flowers using Our Daily Bread Design's Aster dies and Fancy Foliage dies.

 

      Now for the masculine version. The letters LYM stand for "love you millions" which my husband, Jeff, and I use to sign off on all our emails to each other. I used Fiskar's heart punch for the hearts on this card.

      And, here they are side by side.

     There is still plenty of time to create your own card and join in the fun over at DCWV. Here's the sketch we had to work with this month and a link for all the details to play along. http://dcwvinc.blogspot.com/2015/02/februarys-stack-holic-challenge.html

Anything Goes Challenge ODBDSLC224

     Thanks so much for stopping in today. I'm sending my exploding card over to Our Daily Bread Designs for their Anything Goes challenge.

     I started by cutting the top of my 5x7 card at two angles. It is a regular side-open card, but the two different sizes of pearls make it appear as an overlap-open. I used ODBD's Fancy Foliage dies and Asters & Leaves dies  to make my card. I added some pearl to the center of the flowers and then I hot-glued the cameo in place.  

     I made an exploding insert for the inside. As you can see I wrote a personal note on the bottom corner. Sorry about that. I forgot to take a picture before I signed it. This card is off to Mom today for her birthday.

      The deadline for this challenge is in just a few hours. Check out the challenge here: http://www.ourdailybreaddesignsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Shining%20the%20Light%20Challenge

     Hope your week is filled with friends and love and inky fingers!

     May the Lord be glorified by the work of my hands,

DCWV Stack-a-holic Challenge, January 2015

     Thanks so much for stopping in. It's hard to believe it is already time for me to post another card for DCWV!

     I had lots of fun creating this card! I played around with the new inlaid die cuts technique for my glitter-tree. I used the tree that I first die cut from the foil tag as embellishment. I cut the tree in half and tucked it under the strip of diamonds. Pretty, no? Then, I inlaid the light teal glitter-tree in the tag. To make the tree show up better, I tucked a scrap of teal foil behind the openwork  of the tree. Using a third color might have made that unnecessary. But, I like it like this.

     There is still plenty of time if you want to play along with us. Here's this month's sketch and the link to find all the details: http://dcwvinc.blogspot.com/2015/01/1st-stack-holic-challege-for-2015.html

     Here's what I used for my card:
