I'm sure by now you've noticed that the new Christmas Ornaments set is being used with the new 2010 Heirloom Ornaments Spellbinders......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 match sentiments, Scriptures and images to Spellbinders products. We look forward to a long and blessed partnership with such a fine product as Spellbinders.
Today I chose to showcase the new Blessings stamp set by ODBD! The one I chose reminded me when I was a teenager and even in my 20's when life got hard, my Mum would say to me...'Count Your Blessings and put me near the top; I love you.' So I guess this card is dedicated to my wonderful Mother! :)
I started with a base of pale pink, layered with white, darker pink and some Memory Box Gossamer DP. The next panel is more dark pink layered with white that's been embossed with Victoria EF. Next I cut some dark pink with the Lacey Circles Nestabilites and glued it into place and then attached a pink satin ribbon over the top. I stamped the sentiment from Blessings in Memento Tuxedo Black onto white and cut it out with Large Circle Nestabilities and attached it over the top of the ribbon and Lacey Circles panel. Next I took some ZVA flowers and glued them and some branches (cut with the MS Branch punch) below the sentiment and at the top of the embossed panel. To finish I added a pink bow made with my Bow Easy and a few white pearls to the top corner.
Stamps - Blessings (ODBD)
Paper - Pale and Dark Pink Bazzill, White, Memory Box Gossamer DP
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories - Large Circle and Lacey Circle Nestabilities, ZVA Roses, Martha Stewart Branch Punch, Victoria Embossing Folder, Pink Satin Ribbon, Bow Easy, Kaisercraft Snow Pearls.
From here, your next stop is the darling Debi and just wait until you see the beautiful card she has for you!!! :)

An absolutely sweet card, love the soft colours and the Memory Box DP background you chose - lovely!
This is fantastic -- it's just like a fresh breath of spring (and when you have snow on the ground you need something bright and cheerful). Outstanding!
Beautiful - I love the Memory Box papers!

How stunningly gorgeous.. I love these wonderful colors and those flowers and bow are fabulous.
Love your card Kathy, the roses and the colors that you chose are gorgeous, to say the least. You are an inspiration to me and I'm sure to many other stampers.
Beautiful Kathy. This has a wonderful feminine feel and just beautiful.
LOOOVE your card, Kathy! Those Memory Box papers really shine, and of course all your pretty embellies make this a very special creation. Best wishes on your "retirement" as you find other avenues to showcase your wonderful skills!
It is beautiful. I'll miss seeing your work, but I'm sure God has something great in store for you.
Kathy

Another beautiful display of colors. I love the flowers and can't wait to try that myself.
This is such a peacefully beautiful card. I would love to receive such a card - it would have a place of honor on my desk!
Not only do I love this card (I am partial to pink) - but I also just spent some time perusing your blog - beautiful work.
What a beautiful way to remind us of our many blessings!! My favorite Christmas memory is coming home to Tennessee from Chicago to spend Christmas with my Granny. Her home was always full of love, laughter and wonderful smells coming from the kitchen. I was and am truly blessed.
Each web site I look at gives so much "eye" pleasure. Thank you for your beautiful ideas.....
I do count my blessings one by one and you are one for sharing such a beautiful card. Thanks for sharing.
There is that lovely DP again. Lovely card and the flowers are a perfect touch.
I absolutely love the colors on this card. The sentiment,the roses...it is all just soft and beautiful!
Beautiful project. My greatest Christmas Memory is the first Christmas without my Mother. I was only 6 years old. With Mom dying in November and Christmas being the next month, sure we were sad, but my Dad, being the father that he was, did all he could do to make sure his 4 girls were happy. We didn't have a lot of money, but that's not what Christmas is all about. All we wanted for Christmas was the doll house fully furnished, that we saw in the Sears Catalog and Only the doll house and we had to share it, but my sisters and I to this day (now 50 years ago) remember how special that Christmas was.
Hello Kathy: Your card creation is so elegant and beautiful! It would be wonderful for any situation a card would be needed. Thank you for sharing. Marie
Дуже гарний фон, тиснення, квіточки, бантик так акуратно зав'язаний! Мені це дуже подобається! Класно!
Just like a breath of fresh air. So lovely!!
This is a very beautiful card! Somehow you captured a very peaceful feeling. My favorite Christmas memory is opening up gifts late Christmas Eve and then jumping into the car Christmas morning for the long trip to Grandma's house...loved her to pieces and those are precious memories.

Very pretty-so feminine.
Beautiful! You ladies are all so talented! Thanks for sharing!
WOW great project. You design team gals are great!!!!
Beautifull designs.
My favourite Christmas memory ...difficult question as many to choose from. One favourite, my Dad set up the card table in front of our beautifully decorated Christmas tree, and we had homemade meat pie followed by Christmas pudding or cookies (cookies were my choice as I don't like pudding). After, we would head off to church for the service where many Christmas hymns were sung -- my favourite, Silent Night.
Beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
What a blessing you have been sharing your lovely work here on ODBD! Receiving this gorgeous card would give anyone an instant blessing. Much happiness in whatever is next in your future.
Your card is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing your talent!

My favorite Christmas memory is hand knitted sweaters. My Mother often made all of us a beautiful new sweater for Christmas. I'm sure it took her months to get them all done. I wish I still had them.
I do, and I will...count them every day! Beautiful project!
This is outstanding! TFS!

Love this gorgeous card the colors are so soft and the spellbinder dies really all class to everything!
Kathy, First, congratulations on your time with ODBD! I will definitely miss your contributions -- today's card is a perfect example -- I love the pinks you brought out, the whole thing reminds me of the blessings of springtime and the blooming of the cherry blossoms here in Washington, D.C.! I will definitely be "borrowing" this design! You really show the versatility of the stamp sets, my limited imagination would have gone with Thanksgiving! :)
Kathy this is breathtaking! I love the stamped sentiment. I try to count my blessings often...well, list them, especially if I am in an unhappy mood, or not really feeling connected to the Father.
I really love your choice of dp and colors. They remind me of cherry blossoms. I love that flower! The pearls and the flowers and leaves that you added are so pretty. I LOVE the white embossed space you left ont he card. Your mother is already very proud of you, I am sure. This will be the icing on the cake!
