ODBD Simple Christmas ornaments

I wanted to make some extremely simple Christmas cards and I knew that the new Holiday Ornaments 2 set from Our Daily Bread Designs would make the perfect card!

I pared the ornaments with a simple cuttlebug embossed frame and some bakers twine from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store! So simple, yet pretty! A perfect combo!

Bursting Clover!

Hello! I have another wonderful set to show you from Our Daily Bread Designs! I so love this wonderful Clover image came from the new Simple Things Set.

I colored the image with copics and cut it out with the coordinating clover die. The base paper was stamped with the honey comb background stamp, and I then popped the cut clover image up on that with dimensionals.

Nest, I took a piece of card stock, crumpled it up and distressed it with some walnut distress ink. I then tore a hole in the center so that the clover image could pop out of it.

To finish off the card, I added some small flowers from Zva Creative, a stick pin, and the sentiment cut out with the elegant ovals dies.

Thanks so much for visiting today! Have a great weekend!

Seasons Greetings

Happy Kitchen Sink Monday! Today I did one of my favorite techniques with Kitchen Sink Stamps...Masking! I stamped the first tree in the center, masked it off and then stamped two more trees on either side to create my scene!

The trees were stamped as follows: Step 1: Mellow Moss, Step 2: Old Olive, Step 3: Old Olive again and then Step 4: Always artichoke! I then sponged a bit of grey under the trees to create a shadow. I finished off the card with some ruffled ribbon from the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store, and some half backed gems from Zva Creative!

Please head on over to see what my fellow crew members have created today!
