So now, here’s some fabulous news . . . Our Daily Bread designs is so proud and pleased to be chosen by the Spellbinders company as a Preferred Stamp Partner. Our partnership with Spellbinders will be a blessing to the stamping community as well, as we expand our line to include perfect-matched sentiments, scriptures and images to Spellbinders products. We look forward to a long and blessed partnership with such a fine product as Spellbinders. It’s no doubt that as you travel the hop today you will see what wonderful creations the design team have made as well as the wonderful influence that Spellbinders dies have on their creations. This months release features a matching stamp set designed to fit perfectly within Spellbinders Heritage Ornament – please pop over and see the stamp set HERE.
For my card today I went with my comfort colors – you know, like comfort food? For me, shimmery gold, iridescent white and creamy pearls fit the bill :-) I’m working with the stamps made to match the Spellbinders Heritage Ornament but I wanted to see what I could do to make the stamp stretch for uses other than the ornament. As luck would have it, it fits very nicely in Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG and SM.
While I’m at it, in my email I get a question several times a week and especially if I’ve made a card with a bow. First of all people ask if I send out my cards. Well that’s a big yes!! As enjoyable as they are to make I love the people to have them. So then the next question I get is "how"? Many times I put them in a package and they don’t need an envelope. Other times I make an envelope because I make odd sized cards and sometimes large cards. This is a large card – it measures 5.5" x 8.5". It perfectly matches an A9 envelope which is made from a 12" x 12" sheet of paper (most of the scoreboards on the market have instructions for making envelopes) and measures 6" x 9 1/4". You can see below that I simply flatten the ribbon a little bit and slide it in my envie. 
When the recipient gets it, if they like they can plump the ribbon. Men probably would not do that, but I don’t normally send this fru-fru type of card to a man :-) As you can see below the envelope is kind of plump, but they make it through the mail just fine.
That’s it for me now. As you move along your way, prepared to be charmed! Your next stop along the Blog Hop is with the talented Julie Warner! See you soon!!
Hi Becca, Lovely to hear you sounding chirpy. Love the card – as always! Hang in there. xx
What a gorgeous creation! The green looks like velvet! With all the supplies you have to work with (at least, I’m assuming you have a lot, LOL) I don’t know how you ever make up your mind! But you never fail to put the most beautiful elements together in the most fabulous sensational way! You are so appreciated.
Gorgeousness! The tree is fabulous as is the lush ribbon.
What a beauty Becca! Love the heart as an ornament. It’s good we have you to think of different ways to use things! Thanks so much for using the rubber. And boy! I completely understand about the song in your head – Oh, NO! You’ve started it again!

Beautiful CAS love those colors and the heart!
A great creation. You have unlimited talent thank you for the inspiration.
Beautiful card, as usual for you. Now it even feels like it could snow down here in Florida :-) Does get us more into the mood to think about Christmas than the 80+ degrees we have been having.
Thank you for all you do each day to lift us up.

You selected simple components but with the details you’ve added it turns this little gem in a beaut! Thanks for your inspiration.. you sound upbeat and in a good place… keep it up Becca.
Absolutely gorgeous, as all of your work is.

How apt a card for those of us in the U.K…..we are loaded down with the white stuff….been out shovelling this morning and it’s still snowing…we are not used to all of this snow anytime but more so so early in the year….the rest of the world is laughing at us as the country has almost stopped working because of it!! Lovely card….love it all but anna Griffin always shouts at me, big time.
Gorgeous card you made today Becca. So fabulous in all it’s vintage beauty. I love how when you think of snow that you used christmas colors instead of the usual blues and lavenders, such a refreshing change. As always Becca, TFS!!! :-D
I LOVE the Font for the sentiment! The colours are extraordinary- the ribbon is majestic- just my style. I would love to sit in your workshop…
Lovely card Becca, I love that Christmas tree. As for the snow, please keep it at the North Pole. Of course living in SE TX we don’t see much snow but when it does it is such a mess!!
I visit your blog every morning and you ALWAYS knock my socks off with the beautiful things you create!! You are my inspiration for thinking outside the box when creating cards!! I NEVER would have thought of using the Nested Hearts as an ornament. You, my dear, are absolutely amazing!!
BECCA…another winner! That is absolutely gorgeous…such rich colors…a keeper, for sure.
Hugs, Jeanielou
Wowza! What a beauty!! I think the sentiment is super cute, but I’m dreading the coming snow :-( Sure enough, now I can’t get that song outta my head too.
Becca, your clean and simple blows me away! It is beautiful. Best wishes to you.
This is one of my favorites, Becca. Simplicity at its best. Thank you!
