Ice Skating Harriet - North Coast Creations

Hi there!

Today I have a stamp from North Coast Creations called Ice Skating Harriet.  NCC is a new stamp company from the Our Daily Bread Designs' owner Kelley.  Their website should be up and running sometime in August, but if you would like to purchase this little cutie you can contact Kelley at ODBD.

Here is my creation using Harriet...

As soon as I saw this image, I thought of pinks and greens and I had the perfect paper for it, Eskimo Kisses by Basic Grey.  I only had scraps left from, so I had to work around using only small pieces.  The little ornament shape on the bow is a leftover from Christmas cards last year.

For all ingredients used:

Stamps: Ice Skating Harriet (North Coast Creations)

Paper: Solar White (Neenah), Eskimo Kisses (Basic Grey), Yultide (K&Co), Pink Pirouette (SU)

Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine)

Accessories: Bow-Easy, White Seam Binding, Sweet Heart Twine (Really Reasonable Ribbon), Labels 23 (Spellbinders), adhesive pearls (Want-2-Scrap), mineral spirits, Snowflakes #8 Embossing Folder (Sizzix), Joys of the Season Cartridge (Cricut), Prismacolor Pencils

Heartfelt Creations - Ornamental Raspberries

Happy Wednesday!

Today I have another card using the new Heartfelt Creations July Release Classic Editions Collection. 

This image is from the Ornamental Raspberries Set.  It has this raspberry image, the single raspberry I used here with a pop dot, and a beautiful raspberry and flower flourish.  The background paper I used is from the new Classic Editions Paper Collection.  I used one of the olive green sheets and stamped it with the raspberry and flower flourish to create a pretty background.  The black ink looks beautiful on the olive paper.

You can see all the Designer's creations on the HC Blog, they're all so gorgeous!  There's even a couple from Mary Lou and Linda the owners of HC.  Emma Lou also has a fantastic video on the Blog showing you all the stamp sets, custom die, and all the designer papers in the collection.

Blessings!

Now for my take on the sketch challenge this week...

I decided to make a Christmas card using Holiday Ornaments Stamp Set and Holiday Tags Shapeabilities Dies.  The ornament is detachable and the recepient can hang it on their tree!  Here's a couple of more pictures, one closeup...

and the other showing it detached.

To make the ornament, I die cut a piece of recycled packaging and another piece of desginer paper (the striped one) and glued them together with the image die cut.  Then I just added some gold string I got from the flower section at Michaels, a little bell, a bow, and a pearl.

The Sentiment is three different die cuts glued together.  I stamped each one with the sentiment and then couldn't decide which one to use, soooo I used all three!  The bird is a project "leftover" from last year that I decided to include.  I love being able to used up those "leftovers" I keep on hand!

For all ingredients used:

Stamps: Holiday Ornaments (ODBD)

Paper: Solar White (Neenah), Glad Tidings Designer Paper (K&Co.), Capers, Palo Verde (Bazzills)

Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine), Wheat (VersaMagic), Amaretto (Powder Puffs)

The Classic Edition Collection stamp sets and die release is gearing towards the fall season and colder days.

Our card samples will give you many ideas to get your creative juices flowing. Leave a comment on the HC blog by July 24th and you will be eligible to win the entire release.

HC's stamps and matching dies are so awesome, but now having papers to match too!!!  Wow!!  These papers are 12" x 12" so they can be used for scrapbooking or cardmaking.  They are also double-sided and are absolutely GORGEOUS!  What a blessing to be a designer for them, as I get to play with it all!

For my first creation using the Classic Edition Collection, I made a card using the wagon filled with "bounty".  So much fun to color with these images and be able to layer and piece them.

Here's a side view that shows the piecing...you can also right click on the picture to see it better...

ODBDSLC116 - Clouds or Sunshine

Hi there!

Time for a new Shining the Light Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!

This week's challenge:

We would like to see clouds or sunshine on your creation. These can be on your designer paper, be cut or sponged or be part of your coloring or stamping.

To make the challenge even more fun, we will be giving out a prize, a $15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!! Entries for the prize must be submitted by Sunday, July 22nd at 8 p.m. EST. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday.

While it is not required to use Our Daily Bread Designs images and sentiments on your creations, we would love to see them if you have them. As a way of recognizing those who do use Our Daily Bread Designs stamps, we will again be choosing three or more of our participants for the Shining the Light Award .

If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC116. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

Now for my take on the Challenge this week...

 

 

 

This cute little chickadee is from an older set called  You Will Find Refuge.  I've always loved chickadees, probably because they're cute like plump babies even when they're adults.  This image has the branch with it and ODBD also has a custom die to cut it out with, the Chickadee Die...I love that!  Here's what the set and die look like to give you a better idea of what I'm talking about.

For the Challange, I decided to do clouds.  I've never done this before so I was a little aprehensive, but I liked the way it came out.  To make them, I taped three 1" circles together and sponged with Ballet Blue Ink above the top of it randomly on white paper.

For all ingredients used:

Stamps: You Will Find Refuge (Our Daily Bread Designs)
Paper: Solar White (Neenah), Whisper White (Stampin Up), Watercolor Bouquet (K&Co)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine), Amaretto (Powder Puffs), Ballet Blue (Stampin Up)
Accessories: Bow-Easy, Golden Maple Silk Ribbon (Really Reasonable Ribbon), sponge, adhesive pearls (Want-2-Scrap), Grand Labels 23, Classic Scalloped Ovals Large (Spellbinders), Chickadee Die (ODBD), Flower (Prima), mineral spirits, Prismacolor Pencils: Violet Blue, Blue Violet Lake, Black, Cool Greys, Eggshell, Cream, Sand, White, Chocolate

Being Blessed

Happy Sunday!

I've been so blessed today by first, 2 of my cards being favorited as Split Coast Stampers!  Swan Princess was favorited by Pat Smethers, a VERY sweet and special lady.  The other was Garden Romance Arbor by ChaosMom.  So wonderful to be recognized for something you love to do!

The second blessing, is a little write-up for one of my cards done on Loves Rubber Stamps Store's Blog called Sunday Shares.  Laura, the owner, shares a couple of creations each week and was kind enough to share one I did last year.  Here is the card I made using Belle N' Whistles Stamps' Planting Some Love by Elisabeth Bell.

You can see the original post I did for this here.  You can see Laura's wonderful write-up on it here.  So very special, Laura was so generous with her words of kindness!  Thank you Laura!

I'm so thankful to be able to do what I ABSOLUTELY love to do and to know others enjoy the things I create.  All the Glory belongs to God who has placed these talents and love and joy in me!  Thank you Lord!

Blessings!

ODBDSLC115 - Torn or Distressed

Hi there!

It's time for a new Shining the Light Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!

This week's challenge:

We would like to see tearing or distressing on your creation.

To make the challenge even more fun, we will be giving out a prize, a $15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!! Entries for the prize must be submitted by Sunday, July 15th at 8 p.m. EST. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday.

If you upload your creations to Splitcoast Stampers or any other online gallery, please use the keyword is ODBDSLC115. When creating your posts on blogs please include a link to the challenge.

I'm a newbie at tearing and distressing, but here's what I came up with...

I used this beautiful Prayer of St. Frances Stamp and stamped it directly on the Almanac Designer Paper.  I kind of like how the word "hatred" is crossed out by the design on the paper and decided to leave it as is instead of redoing it.  I've had the black lace for quite a while and have been waiting for the right project to use it, and this was it!  This lace is so gorgeous!  The bow is made from a little ribbon sample I received from Really Reasonable Ribbon in my order last week.  It's really pretty and has a nice feel to it.  When I made the bow the tails were bent up a little, so I used a mini curling iron I got with my last curling iron purchase.  I think it's meant for bangs, etc., but it worked great on taming and shaping the ribbon!

Here's all the ingredients used:

Stamps: Prayer of St. Frances (ODBD)

Paper: Almanac Collection (Prima), Black (SU)

Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine), Amaretto (Powder Puffs)

Accessories: Labels 23, Detail Clear Embossing Powder (Stampendous), distressing tool, sponge, ribbon (Really Reasonable Ribbon), adhesive pearls (Recollections), lace & trim (Jo-Ann's), flower charm (Michaels), mini curling iron
