November is here and we are just getting so close to Christmas! I have been working on cards almost every day to reach my goal before the end of November 🙂 And today I am sharing more Christmas cards with Our Daily Bread Designs.
First, I would love to share a great news to share with you all… starting this month, I am designing for Our Daily Bread Designs! I am so thankful and excited to create with this amazing and talented ladies in ODBD team and share projects with you using ODBD products. Our Daily Bread Designs is a stamp/die/crafting company that provides Christian, Scriptures, God-Focus, inspirational theme stamps, custom-dies, and designer papers. We, hope to continue inspiring to create with faith, and sharing the love of God through our handmade cards, and other DIY projects, too.
Today, ODBD releases new stamps, die sets, paper collections. And… they is giving away 3 gift cards to the store. Keep reading… 🙂 and visit ODBD November New Release Blog Post to read more about the new release and how you can save money on the Bundles and get free shipping!
For this new release, I created 2 cards. On my first card, I use the Jesus Loves You Stamp/Die Duos, Snow Crystals dies, Snowflake Season Collection Paper Pad, Fun & Fancy Folds – Center Step Card, Double Stitched Rectangles Dies, and Rectangles Dies:
Using my WRMK Evolution Advanced, I die-cut and embossed the pieces. For the word Jesus and the Star, I die-cut them 5 times and stacked them together with glue pen to create thicker chipboard. Sentiment I stamped with Versafine Onyx Black on one of the beautiful Snowflake Season Collection papers. I finished the card with some gold sequins.
The ODBD dies are not online for die-cutting, but also for embossing and stenciling. Check out the details on the die-cuts after embossing:
On my second card, I use the new Snowflake Season Collection Paper Pad, Merry & Bright clear stamp, Snow Crystals Dies, Double Stitched Rectangles Dies, and Rectangles Dies:
I diecut a black cardstock with the double stitched rectangles and rectangles dies to create the chalkboard window. Then I cut out a piece of black cardstock for the chalkboard background where also I stamped and heat-embossed the light strings from Merry & Bright clear stamp set using Ranger White embossing powder. After that, I colored the light bulbs with my Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils.
Aftercoloring, I added some White Archival ink on the panel with sponge to create the chalkboard look. Then I finished the card with some clear gems.
Here are the new stamps, die sets and paper collection that I used on my cards today:
