ODBD Rewind for you

Welcome to Our Daily Bread designs May rewind. I can't believe the month is half over. Of course it has been a blur for us with our schedule. School is out here in a few weeks even. EEK!!!  Anyways... I have a pretty blue creation today using Glory. :-)

Have snippets of lace trim you want save and use? Check out my Lace Scraps tutorial! These Glory flowers are just wonderful and so easy to color. After colored they are die cut using Vintage Labels ODBD custom die, with dimensionals added to the back. Can you tell this is my new favorite die lately?  :-)  A few flourished pearls in the corners to finish it off and voila!

Yellow Tulips

I know what your thinking... Tulips again! I can't help it okay, I need help. Does anyone know the number for Tulips AA? ha ha   The Tulips Digi is going away here soon, if you have not purchased yours yet I would suggest getting right over there and fix that issue.  :-)   We have a gallery full of beautiful creations if you want more than my ideas. Check out Power Poppy Pinterest gallery and while you are there follow us!
Rather simple design today as I die cut the Tulips with an oval shape, layered onto a Spellbinders decorative oval shape. The flowers are colored with Copics and for fun I tired the speckled coloring and shading around the flowers that I see around blog land. Its a rather cool touch, but not sure I got it right?? A little scoring around the base and a few jewels. Voila!  Have a wonderful day!

Are you a big elephant or little elephant?

This really makes you think. He spoke at the local public school recently about bully's and this story was one he told. Listen all the way through and determine are you a big elephant or little one. Have a great day!

Tea anyone?

Good Morning. A little something to share with you today that I created for a friend. This is a teapot shaped tea holder. I have the complete tutorial and PDF for you over at the SweetandClassic site under Teapot Box tutorial.
This is a fun little gift or even a great party favor. No stamping on this one which makes for quick design over all. I added textures to the template itself with the swiss dots folder with some scrap designer paper added the front with a lace trim under lay. My sentiment is from Azalea stamp set that is popped up on a dimensional. Added a ribbon bow tied off with a button and twine combo. A pearl for the teapot lid and voila! Enjoy creating your own! Have a great day.

Mothers Day Azalea's

Happy Mother's day! This week's Featured Stamper 379 is Nancy aka NancyK. Nancy's gallery is full of clean and crisp creations that I am sure you have seen. If not you are in for a treat today. So many that caught my attention to case, but I choose this Blue Black Eyed Susan creation. The color blue drew me first (imagine that) and the heart shaped flowers. I kept the heart shape, over all design and two colors. Changed the stamp, color and sentiment placement.

Well my favorite color might be blue, but my Mother in-laws is not so I changed the color to her favorite lavendar. Since I didn't have a heart shaped flower handy I went ahead and changed the shape from circle to a heart using ODBD Ornate Hearts Die. Masked my Azalea flower along the side of the heart and added my sentiment to the left side of the heart. Kept the layers and added my ribbon to the base shape. For my textured panel I used swiss dots and added some jewels. Voila! I hope you can play along this week!

We are celebrating Mother's day with  my parents, my in-laws, my youngest sister (new mom) and her in-laws. A large gathering to be thankful for the hard work all us mother's do for our families. Hope you have a wonderful day with yours! See you back here tomorrow!

Nugget Purse treat

 These are great for women retreats,  teachers or parties. Original idea from my friend Shelly aka papermoon04. 

Supplies

Chocolate nugget, hole punch, ribbon, card stock, desired decorative edge die or scissors and adhesive

Step 1

Cut a piece of card stock or designer paper 4 1/4 inch length x 1 1/2 inch width. Score at 1 1/4 inch, 2 1/4 inch and 3 1/4 inch. pre fold your score lines. I used double sided decorative paper for fun. You can certainly use solid card stock and stamp to decorate as well

Step 2

Add a decorative edge with dies or scissors to the end with the 1 1/2 inch size. Here I held the Spellbinders A2 Bracket Borders One for my edge with a piece of tape so it wouldn't move when I die cut it.

Step 3

Punch two holes right on the score lines above the die cut edge.

Step 4

Place ribbon through the holes to create purse handle. Tie into a knot as shown. The flap will fit right in front of these knots when you fold your purse into a triangle. 

Step 5

This is a side view so you can see how the fold looks when placed in front of the knots. Add a glue dot to the front flap to keep closed. Finish decorating and slide your chocolate nugget into purse

Step 6

Here is the final nugget purse with a prima my friend Pat made me. I have actually made over 200 of these little purses for a few woman's retreats. Enjoy!

Tulip card bag

Happy Friday! I am ready for a busy weekend, how about you? Before you head off for your weekend of fun Power Poppy has a fun challenge for you today! For all the details see the Power Poppy Blog and see where you will link up your creations as well. Hope you get a chance to play along!

Well my Tulips out front looked a lot like this when they were dieing all yellow losing that beautiful rich purple color. Fun challenge with the colors I thought and the Tulips were perfect for it. I sponged around my Spellbinders Decorative labels Twenty Two before I removed the die with lavendar ink. This is a white cellophane bag with the card insert on the inside. Wrapped the ribbon and lace around the base on the front and tied a bow. Voila!
