 
Good morning sweet blog friends. Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs September Release Blog Hop!! If you arrived here from Grace’s blog, you are in the right place!

The full blog hop list is also on the ODBD blog just in case you get stuck along the way or if you find any broken links.
For my card this month I turned back to Spellbinders™ Floral Ovals which I made into a frame using Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG. Inside I stacked another from the Floral Ovals Set and stamped my sentiment on it then topped it off with Spellbinders™ Jewel Framed Sentiments. I couldn’t resist to put a little tiara at the top using Spellbinders™ Venetian Motifs. And now for all the information about the hop . . .

The Hop will run from 8:00 am Eastern Time on September 1st until 8:00 pm Eastern Time on September 2nd. The winners will be announced on the ODBD Blog on September 3rd.

Thanks for stopping by, have a fantastic weekend!!
Hello there blog friends! You know how much I love tone on tone, so today I tinkered around to see how far I could take it. Except for the taupe ink, I think I stuck to the plan! Cream is my go to color but whether cream on cream or white on white, tone on tone makes my heart sing. It’s funny because when you take the design paper out of the equation, things get easy for me – not too many choices to make. My inspiration was this new stamp set by JustRite Papercrafts called Botanical Swirls Labels. I started out with a 5 1/2″ x 7 1/2″ card base and since I wasn’t using design paper, I thought it a perfect opportunity to create texture with an embossing folder – Spellbinders™ Ornamental Iron. On top of the texture I layered the smallest template from Spellbinders™ Grand Decorative Ovals One. Moving up on the stack, you might find this odd, but I loved the dimension added by a Cut, Fold,and Tuck Die – this one is Spellbinders™ Carnival Dream. Okay, just one more layer (like jenga) . . . on top I positioned the largest template from Spellbinders™ Venetian Motifs.
Pearls bring just a little bit of a warm glow to the buttery hues of cream.
And then, because I very, very rarely have anything masculine to show, I set out to make a masculine bookmark. As much as I wanted to, I resisted the urge for tons of layers – I mean the book has to close, right? If there are layers and lace and bows, I’m afraid it defeats the purpose and perhaps doesn’t get used. I found a dark, distressed paper and paired it up with a hefty tassel that I got somewhere on ultra clearance. I sneaked in one pearl and one embellishment but I wouldn’t hesitate to give this to one of my guy friends. “Manly yes, but I like it too” (don’t pretend you’ve never heard that commercial old timers – I’m showing my age aren’t I? LOL!
My heart goes out to the folks over in Lousiana; hoping tomorrow finds you safe and sound. In the meantime, thanks for stopping by today!!
Delightful, that’s what it is! There is nothing more delightful than to show up . . . cut where you’re told to cut, glue where you’re told to glue and stamp where you’re told to stamp. Then shazam – you’re done! That’s what I did today! All the credit goes to Claire at Waltzingmouse Stamps! This is exactly what my brain needed and the huge bonus is that I have the sweetest little gift to give to one of my friends with a penchant for gardening. So, welcome to the August Blog Waltz for Waltzingmouse – this week we’ve been previewing a slew of enchanting new stamp sets and cut files (don’t let this word scare you, I’ll explain). Here are the sets you can now see in full – here.
Vintage Garden Produce
Vintage Garden Flowers
Vintage Seed Packet
Vintage Garden Appleblossom Seeds
Camellia
Opera Tags (and Opera Die Templates)
Little Lanterns
Bright Season
Light of the World Sentiments
If you jumped in the middle of our list, the best way to make your way through the hop is to start at Claire’s Blog (she has lots of news to share so you don’t want to miss beginning there) – she has the complete sequence if you get out of order or if one of the links don’t work. If you have just come here from Tosha’s blog then you are in the right place! In order complete the hop, leave a comment on as many of the Design Team Members Blogs as you can as a random name is selected from each blog and then a final winner picked from those names. A winner gets a free set of their choice of Waltzingmouse stamps. You have until August 26th at 5:59am CST to leave your comment and a winner will be selected and shown on Claire’s Blog on August 28th. Stay tuned, below I’ll tell you your next stop along the hop!!
So, for my project today (made in about an hour) I accessed the cut files that Claire designed to go along with the stamp sets. What that means is I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut them out, then I stamped on them and constructed the basket according to the instructions that come alone with the files. The basket template (which is free) was designed to work with the strawberry files we showed over the last month. I knew it would work well to hold the seed packets so I simply increased the size by 1 inch. If you do not have a digital cutter, the pdf files will allow you to print out the files and cut them by hand or with an exacto knife. The seed packet files are available this month – I’ll edit in a link when I have one.
I picked a sweet double sided paper, cardstock weight, when I cut everything out. I used my favorite My Minds Eye papers (that I hoard). Honestly this could not have been simpler and I’m always looking for something quick and easy to give as a gift with a small card that makes me feel like I’ve made an crafty accomplishment. Mission accomplished! Heading into the weekend, I hope you’re able to get the satisfaction of ticking something off of your list . . . crafty or maybe not so crafty!
Your next stop is with Clare Buswell – be prepared to ooooh and ahhhh!
Thanks so much for stopping by, I’ll see you soon!!!

OH BECCA!!!!!!!! This makes me think of a Grandmas’ wall in her home! AND the little oval in the “center…” the way you layered it on the cardstock that was a little darker….makes it look like that white oval on top folds out! Like an ornament! I THINK it’s that piece from the die that comes up at the top of all those pieces that makes it look like it’s hanging on the wall! AND that LOVELY LACE, like a Grandma would have! :) (Can you tell I like Grandma things???? :) )
Love it!
Gorgeous!

I just received my Card Kit!!!! So excited…Can’t wait to get in the craft room and have fun. Is there any place where others who have purchased the Card Kit can converse on the kit? If not, that would be soooooooooooooo wonderful to have a “chat” board just for that. We could discuss things like…what else did you make with all the tools and idea? So excited have to go RIGHT NOW and play!
like how you flipped the dies they work great together that way, lovely!
Your cards are lovely and the sentiments are beyond words, very touching and inspirational. I truly enjoy looking at all the talented ways you have touch the heart and soul. Thank you.
