For the Love of.....Gift Giving

Welcome to Our Daily Bread Design's Alumni Team's bi-monthly For the Love Blog Hop.  This week the Alumni team along with some of the ODBD designers are featuring a hop For the Love of Gift Giving! Check out each link and leave a comment. If you get lost along the way, check the ODBD blog for full list of links.  One of the post is a hop hot spot and a name will be drawn from that list of comments to win a $15 ODBD store gift certificate.  So, all you have to do is hop along and see all the creations and leave a little love!  You have until Wednesday, December, 5th at 6 pm.   Enjoy all the beautiful designs featuring For the Love of Gift Giving!

If you've made your way here from Deb's Blog, then you are on the right track, if not, you can catch all the inspiration by starting at the ODBD Blog!

I've made my creation using a piece of  heavy weight paper by MME that I found deep in my stash.  I've used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the free template out of the paper and adhered it all together.  Around the top I've attached some white organdy ribbon and red satin ribbon.  The tag stamp is from Mistletoe Tag Set and has been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics.  The sentiment is from the same set and stamped into the middle.  The tag has been cut out with the co-ordinating Tag Die by ODBD.  I've cut a piece of Riding Hood Red with Labels 20 Nestabilities, glued the two together and then used a 1/4" hole punch for the top.  To finish I've used some red satin ribbon to knot the top of the tag.

Stamps - Mistletoe Tag Set (ODBD)
Paper - Riding Hood Red, Blending Card, MME DP
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories - ODBD Tag Die, Labels 20, Silhouette Machine and template, 1/4" Hole Punch, Copics, Red Satin Ribbon, White Organdy Ribbon.

The next destination on today's hop is the lovely and wonderfully talented.......Silke!!

That's all from me today, thanks for visiting and hope you are inspired to stamp!!  :)

Hello Everyone!!  Today the JustRite team are excited to showcase the latest Amazing Paper Graces Kit by our very own Becca Feeken!  You can find all the details through the Amazing Paper Graces Store!

Want to see the beautiful stamp and die sets that come with the December Kit?????

I've used a base of pink bazzill and layered with white and some MME Lavender paper.  Next I've created the middle panel of white, punching both sides with the MS Woodland Branch punch and topping it with more Lavender DP.  The sentiment has been stamped in black and cut out with one of the dies from Filigree Bracket Label Dies and matted with pink bazzill cut with the large die from the same set.  I've added two large pearl flourishes to the bottom corner.  Next I stamped the rose and two leaves and coloured them with Copics (RV11, RV32, RV34, YG91, YG93, YG95, YG97) and adhered the leaves and popped the rose up on foam tape.  To finish I've added three more Kaisercraft Snow Pearls to the top corner.

The Golden Wattle

Hello Everyone!  Today is Create With Me Monday over on the Flourishes Blog and I've got a tutorial on how to colour this beautiful Wattle flower image!  Of course I'm a little partial to the fluffy Wattle since it is the National Floral Emblem of Australia and also the inspiration for my username over at Splitcoaststampers!  :)

The card itself is made of Old Olive card and layered with Very Vanilla (pierced) and topped with some Kaisercraft Great Southern Land SA paper.  Over this is a piece of Kasiercraft Great Southern Land NT paper matted with Old Olive.  The flag strip is from the bottom of the same paper.  The Wattle has been stamped and coloured with Copics (see the Flourishes Blog for details).  It's been cut out with Labels 25 and matted with Old Olive cut with Labels 23.  The sentiment has been stamped and made into a double notched tag and attached across the bottom.

That's all from me today, thanks for visiting!  :)
