{If you are looking for my Word Art Wednesday post, please scroll down one post or click here.}
This is my last post as a Guest Designer for Our Daily Bread Designs. I'm so thankful for the opportunity Kelley and Lisa gave me to design for ODBD. I had the privilege of meeting them in person last month and they are such nice ladies. For my last project, I just had to use the Double Display Card die and Double Display Layers dies. These dies make this type of card so easy! I used three of the papers in the Stars and Stripes Paper Pad for the card layers and one of these patterned and two solid papers for the circles surrounding the heat embossed sentiments. This paper pad has LOTS of beautiful patriotic patterns and coordinating solids. So far, I've made 3 Double Display cards and one A2 card and I still have quite a bit of paper left.
I used several of the Double Stitched Circle Dies to showcase two of the sentiments in the Let Freedom Ring stamp set. I also used the Double Stitched Pennant Flags to set off these circles a little more. Stickles were applied to all the little light blue stars in the patterned paper and to the stars on the interior panel surroudning the sentiment. This adds LOTS of sparkle that I really wish showed up in pictures. Some sparkly enamel dots finish off the card.

Other supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill (Cherry Splash), Georgia Pacific (white)

Welcome back for another challenge at Word Art Wednesday. This week we're focusing on 1 Timothy 4:12, "Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity." In this verse, the Apostle Paul was talking to his son in the faith, Timothy. He was encouraging Timothy to not let his youth get in the way of being an example to others. Paul knew and was reminding Timothy, that just because someone is young doesn't mean they can't be mature in the faith and used by God. God can use people of all ages to accomplish His work and to bring others to Him. I am frequently challenged by the way some young people I know live for the Lord and how they let His grace in their lives shine forth to others.
For my card this week, I chose to make an easel card. I colored this little boy and his pumpkin with Copics and then die cut and matted this panel. I used square dies to make my photo corners. A baker's twine bow accents the border strip across the middle of the background panel. Some Nuvo Crystal Drops accept the little boy's buttons on his jacket.
I also did some interior decorating on the greeting panel.

My Favorite Place
The Turtle Couple stamp set is one of my favorites from Dare 2B Artzy. In part, because my husband saw it first, liked it and told me that I really should get it. :) Who was I to argue? So, whenever I want to make a special card for him, I frequently turn to this set. I hadn't made him a card in a while, he's been working extra hard, and I figured he could use some encouragement. I colored the turtle with Copics and then fussy cut her out. (I own the coordinating dies but didn't want the white edge this time). I did a little inlay die-cutting at add the heart shape to the card front. The sentiment was heat embossed directly onto the heart die cut. I decided to add something a little special and made a circle card instead of the normal rectangle or square. Nuvo Crystal Drops add some dimension and shine to some of the design on the turtle's shell and to her toenails. A white gel pen adds faux stitching and some accents to the turtle. A small rhinestone accents the flower on the turtle.Sequins topped with rhinestones finish off the card front.

Cardstock: Georgia Pacific
Patterned Paper: Playing with Color 2 - Fall Patterned Cardstock

A Trio of Thanks
This was a pretty quick card to put together and it used all scraps from other cards (except of course for the card base). Strips of patterned paper were layered with strips of navy cardstock from edge to edge on the A2 sized card front. The sentiment was white heat embossed and white gel pen adds faux stitching. The little coffee cups were colored with Copics and then fussy cut. A Tuxedo Black Memento marker was used on the cut edges and to darken up the hearts on the cup sleeves. A 1.25" square punch was used to punch 3 squares of kraft cardstock that was then dry embossed. These squares were matted on 1 3/8" squares of navy patterned paper and adhered to the card front. To finish off the card, the coffee cups were popped up using foam squares. I really like how this turned out and loved having a way to use up some of those scrap pieces of patterned paper. You'll probably see this sketch again.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Recollections (kraft), Cor'dinations (Black Iris), Georgia Pacific (images)
Patterned Paper: Playing with Color 2 (Fall Patterned cardstock)
Stamps: Fiskars clear stamps (Latte Love), Stampabilities (Coffee)
Ink: VersaMark, Memento (Tuxedo Black)
Copics: YR 20, 21, 24; Y21; E41, 42, 43, 44
Other: Cuttlebug embossing folder (Swiss Dots), Simon Says Stamp fine detail embossing powder (white), Gelly Roll gel pen (white), Creative Memories Square Punch (1.25"), Memento Marker (Tuxedo Black)

Brentwood Birthday
Today, I turned this Brentwood image into a birthday card for a coffee lover. He's another of my favorite Brentwoods to color and the footrest of his chair is the perfect spot to tuck a sentiment. I didn't have a JessicaLynn Originals (JLO) birthday sentiment to use so I had to go to an old standby birthday set. However, I did manage to tuck one of my new JLO coffee sentiments in the top corner. I had sized him a little big for a regular A2 sized card so I decided to go with a 5.5" square gatefold card this time.
For this card, I did a fair amount of interior decorating.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Cor'dinations (Black Iris), Georgia Pacific (white), Unknown dark orange (it feels like Bazzill)
Patterned Paper: Playing with Color 2 (Fall Patterned Cardstock)
Stamps: Jessica Lynn Original Digis (Summer 2017 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Image, Summer 2017 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Image 3), My Sentiments Exactly clear stamp set (Inspirational Birthday Innies and Outies), Stampendous clear stamp set (Birthday Wish)
Ink: Versamark, VersaFine (Onyx Black)
Copics: YR18, 20, 21, 24; Y15, 17, 32, 35, 38; W1, 3, 5, 7; YG95, 97, 99; E07, 08, 09, 33, 35, 37, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44; B29
Other: Our Daily Bread Designs dies (Double Stitched Rectangles, Double Stitched Pennant Flags), Simon Says Stamp fine detail embossing powder (White)
I'm entering this card in the Fall 2017 Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and at the My Creative Scoop Color Inspiration #26 (must have hand colored image).
Thanks for stopping by today. I'll be back a little later with one last card for the hop.

If We Ever Forget
Happy Wednesday!! I'm back with another project using the Our Daily Bread Designs September release. This week I have a A2 sized card using the Justice For All stamp set. The sentiment was stamped in dark red ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. It was then die cut and embossed with one of the Oval Dies. After lightly distressing the sentiment panel with distress ink, I matted it with a Layered Lacey Oval die cut that was also embossed. One of the patterned papers from the Stars and Stripes Paper Pad was distressed with the same distress ink and then layered over one of the solids from the same pad. Dyed seam binding was tied around these panels before they were adhered to the card base. After popping up the sentiment with foam squares, small rhinestones and sequins were used to embellish the card front.
Our Daily Bread Designs Products:
Other supplies used:
Cardstock: The Paper Studio Heavy Weight (card base), Georgia Pacific (sentiment)
Ink: Distress Ink (Pumice Stone), Versafine (Crimson Red)
Other Items: Gina Marie Designs (rhinestones), Paper Sweeties (dyed seam binding), The Paper Studio (sequins)

Coffee Over Everything
I have one last card to share with you tonight for the Coffee Lovers Bloghop. This one is a center step card featuring another digi from Scribbles. The large coffee is the one from Scribbles and the two smaller ones and the sentiments are from a clear stamp set by Stampabilities. The sentiments were heat embossed. For details on how I make my center step cards, please see the directions in this post. The leaves in the background paper and the hearts on the smaller coffee cups sparkle thanks to some stickles. The heat embossing also adds some shine. The edges of the card base and the patterned papers was inked with distress ink.
The interior is decorated slightly. I don't think it shows in the pic but there is another small coffee cup added to the greeting panel on the interior. All the images were fussy cut and a black marker was used on the edges to cover the raw white edge.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Georgia Pacific (images), Recollections (kraft card base and cream for greeting panel on the interior), Taylored Expressions (Vellum)
Patterned Paper: The Paper Studio
Stamps: Scribbles (Coffee digi), Stampabilities clear set (Coffee)
Ink: Versafine (Onyx Black), Distress Ink (Vintage Photo)

Your Kindness Warms My Heart
I recently won this cup and saucers image from Scribbles. I love it and it was so fun to color that I've already colored it more than once. I used one of the dies from My Favorite Things Blueprint 1 to cut it out and lightly inked the cardstock with distress ink to cover the bright white. The leaf paper was die cut with a stitched die from MFT Blueprints 29 and the brown cardstock mat was die cut with the largest die in the Blueprints 1 set. The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed. The image and sentiment were popped up over the pretty leaf patterened paper. The leaves and coffee steam were embellished with stickles. The top saucer and cup were coated with Wink of Stella. In real life, the entire card front has such a pretty sparkle.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Recollections (kraft for card base), Bazzill (Mocha Divine), Georgia Pacific (image and sentiment panels)
Patterned Paper: The Paper Studio
Stamps: Scribbles (Cup Saucer digi), Fiskars (Latte Love clear stamp set)

This card design was inspired by Operation Write Home Sketch #236. The image and sentiment are from the Verve Three Cheers Digi set. The image was colored with copics and a Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino was the inspiration for the color choices. The image was fussy cut and popped up over the background panels. The heart on the cup is coated with Nuvo Crystal Drops and a few random drops are scattered across the card. White gel pen dots add some interest to the solid cardstock fishtail banner.

I Pledge Allegiance
{If you are looking for this week's Word Art Wednesday post, please scroll down one post or click here.}
The sentiments were stamped in dark red ink then die cut and embossed them with the Ovals dies. The largest two sizes of the Layered Lacey Oval Dies were cut, embossed and then used as mats for the sentiment panels. The largest Layered Lacey Oval die was used on the front. Enamel dots were used to embellish this frame. These dots have some sparkle to them. The stars on the front of the card and on the interior panel as well as the stripes were all accented with Star Dust Stickles. I wish the sparkle showed up well in the pictures. It adds a nice accent that doesn't take away from the Pledge of Allegiance on the front of the card or the Scripture verse on the interior of the card.

Seasoned with Salt
Happy Wednesday!! It's time for a new challenge at Word Art Wednesday. This week we are focusing on a verse that I personally find quite challenging. Colossians 4:6 says, "Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man." That first part alone gets me. Our speech is to be filled with grace. I am not always gracious and kind in the way I verbally respond to and talk with people. All too often I let fatigue and stress color my tone with irritation. This verse has been running through my mind for several weeks and then I found out it was this week's verse for our cards. Hmmm! I think the Lord is trying to tell me something. I'm doing my best to listen. How about you, is your speech gracious?
I am definitely ready for fall. So for my card this week, I chose to use this pumpkin image that I colored with Copic markers and then coated with clear Wink of Stella. This image panel was die cut, embossed and then matted with square dies. Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp. At the stamp show I attended last month, they had a vendor's booth. How fun to shop in person! I picked up the Eyelet Arch Borders while there. This is a set of large and small eyelets borders that coordinate so well with the Curved Edge A2 Card Die. I used the smaller eyelet die and the Curved Edge die on the patterned paper and mat portion of my card. I went with an old favorite and inked all the papers with distress ink. I embellished the flower centers with stickles and added clear Nuvo Crystal drops to the "berries" and around the pumpkin. The finished card is 5.5" square.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Recollections (kraft), Georgia Pacific (white)
Patterned Paper: Playing with Color 2 (Fall Patterned Paper)
Stamps: WORDart by Karen (Colossians 4:6), Clear Dollar Stamps (Autumn Blessings digi - Clear Dollar Stamps has closed their doors but I love this pumpkin image)

I've die cut several of these card bases and layer sets now, and I am still enjoying how easy the dies are to use and emboss. I REALLY like how the layers fit each panel with just the right amount of border.
I used my favorite encouragement sentiment by Dare 2B Artzy. It comes from their Prayers 4You stamp set. This set features several nice sentiments for encouragement cards. Some dyed seam binding and moonshine sequins embellish the front card panel.
Another sentiment from this stamp set is on the interior of the card.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill (black), Georgia Pacific (white)
Patterned Paper: Authentique (Latest and Greatest 6 x 6 Pad)
Stamps: Dare 2B Artzy (Prayers 4You clear stamp set)
Ink: VersaFine (Onyx Black)
Tools/Embellishments: Our Daily Bread Designs dies (Double Display Card, Double Display Layers, Ovals, Layered Lacey Ovals), Paper Pretties (dyed seam binding), Simon Says Stamp sequins (Moonshine Assorted)
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Stamp It (no digis allowed)
Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge - Must Use Patterned Paper
Cuttlebug Mania - Anything Goes - Must use dies and/or embossing folders (I used 4 different die sets on my card)
Tuesday Throwdown Challenge #359 - Punches and/or Dies
Thanks for visiting with me today. I hope you'll come back Wednesday when I'll have another project for Our Daily Bread Designs and one for Word Art Wednesday.

Land That I Love
I was so excited when I was asked to stay on as a Guest Designer for Our Daily Bread Designs for September. I really enjoy using their dies and stamps. When I saw the new patriotic September release, I was even more excited. You can see the whole release here. Did you notice they have two fancy fold card dies AND layering dies for both of them? No more figuring out how to cut and fold your card base and how to cut your patterned paper. These dies do all the work for you. I get to play with the Double Display Card Die and Double Display Layers Dies. I have quickly become addicted to making them. Consider this your warning that you'll be seeing this type of card fairly frequently for awhile. LOL
One of the things that I really like about the Double Display Card Die is that the score lines are so well defined. I've used other dies that have score lines included but you have to search to find them and it's hard to fold on them accurately. Not a problem with this die. The card die requires a full 12" length of cardstock. I don't have an extended platform for my Grand Calibur or my Cuttlebug but by using two passes, I was able to easily cut the card base.
This card fold has such a "Wow!" factor, that you really don't have to do a lot of extra fussing to make a beautiful card. For this card, the balloons were fussy cut from one of the sheets of the new Stars and Stripes Paper Pad and popped up on the left panel. Some baker's twine provides strings and bows for the balloons. Both sentiments from the Let Freedom Ring stamp set and matting panels were die cut and embossed with Double Stitched Circle Dies. Some sequins and Stickles finish off the card.
