I am truly addicted to the wonderful smell of hyacinths! I just LOVE the flower and this is the time of year when I look forward to their bloom! Here is another hyacinth card made with the Our Daily Bread designs stamp set called Hyacinth!

On this card, I used the Quatrefoil Pattern background die which coordinates with the Quatrefoil Design Dies. Look at how beautiful they compliment each other!

Hyacinth peace be with you!

I love all of the layering possibilities the Hyacinth stamp set from Our Daily Bread designs provides. This stamp set is an April release and was designed by me, under the direction of Kelley. I wanted a hyacinth stamp that has depth. Notice on the Peace Be With You card how I cut out and layered with dimensionals the banner, the framed hyacinth and then the script onto another matted die cut that matches the stamp. I love creating dimensional cards.

Not only is the main focal image layered, so are the corners! I used the Quatrefoil Design Dies to create four perfectly decorated and layered corners! First I die cut the mat Quatrefoil and then the Design. I cut them both in quarters to layer both on each corners of the card! I secured them with a shimmery pink brad.

This stamp set includes various greetings that are designed to fit perfectly inside the banner area on the stamp.

Lovely Morning Glories

I had a very good time coloring this lovely morning glory collage with Copic Markers. This is a great image to show off my blending skills. This morning glory collage features a vintage postcard with stamp and postal cancellation that says “Morning Glory Mail”. The set is called Morning Glory and included along with the collage are several matching verses that can be stamped in the blank space in the postcard area! I designed this stamp set under the direction of Kelley Holland at Our Daily Bread designs.

I also used the Quatrefoil Design Dies on this card as well.

Quatrefoil Die Easy Card

Well, today I am very proud to share a pretty die I designed! It is an ornate Quatrefoil design. Oh my, I am so proud to have designed this because it was a more difficult one to create… because it has some embossing areas and piercing dots as well as cut outs. I have Kelley Holland to thank for this die, as it was she who believed in my ability to design this. Thanks so much Kelley for the opportunity! This Quatrefoil Design Die set of 2 is available for purchase at Our Daily Bread designs.

The quatrefoil is a traditional Christian design commonly used in church architecture!

Here is my easy card:

In this card, I cut out an area with the larger mat die and place the decorative cut out inside that space!

Paper: Rose Red and White

Ink: Rose Red by Stampin Up, White Pigment Ink (for the embossed areas in the design)

Onward Christian Soldiers Rubber Stamp

Michelle — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 22:59:45 +0000

One of the hymns frequently sung at our church services around Memorial Day, Veterans Day and 4th of July is Onward Christian Soldiers. While it isn’t one of my favorite hymns, it brings back lots of memories of my early church life as a child. The tune is “memorable” and it is easy for a child to learn the verses to this one! Here is a rubber stamp I designed for Kelley Holland at Our Daily Bread designs called Hymn Collage. On this collage I paired the traditional flower of remembrance day (the Poppy) with the sheet music image.

RECIPE:

Stamps: Hymn Collage, Romantic Floral Designs, Morning Glory (all by Our Daily Bread designs)

Paper: Bright Red, Bright Blue, White

Ink: Black Colorbox Pigment ink by Clearsnap and Hologram Highlights embossing powder, Copic Markers

Accessories: Flower charm courtesy Cindy Coutts; ribbons by JKM Ribbon & Trims, glimmer brads by Stampin Up, Flower Soft Mixed, Spring
