Our Daily Bread Designs & The Stamp Simply RIBBON Store!

Our Daily Bread Designs Watering Can Image, Happy Birthday Set
Good Morning! Great news to share with you today! The Stamp Simply RIBBON Store is now carrying Our Daily Bread Designs Stamps! Yes, it's true! And we are over the moon exited to share with you today what we have been creating with these gorgeous high quality rubber cling stamps! My card measures 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" in size with the grey card stock distressed around the edges. The butterfly is one of the stamps in the set, after stamping and coloring it, I cut out and applied glitter around the edges before adhering to the card. Memento Tuxedo Black ink was used for all stamping.


A Great Deal!
I keep sharing how frugal I am, not cheap, but frugal! And when I saw this great deal at the end of last summer, I knew I could incorporate these lovelies someday in a stamping project! The day has come! Can you believe it, three of these darling watering can candles for one dollar and forty cents? As you can see on the package these are outdoor candles, so one would want to bring inside when not in use.


Our Daily Bread Designs Watering Can Set
I used stamps from Our Daily Bread Designs Happy Birthday Set. My Happy Birthday sentiment is located inside the card. I'm sorry I didn't get a picture of the card inside! I used matching 5/8"grey plaid ribbon on the watering handles and added a stamped sentiment to each can front!  The beautiful stamped image is copic colored. Adhesive pearl embellishments and grey framing of the stamped panel set the design perfectly! Thanks for visiting today!  See you tomorrow!

Ribbon Inspiration, Stamp Simply Style-Spring Wishes!

Bunny Folded Dinner Napkins-front view
It's that time again for The Stamp Simply Ribbon Inspiration! This week, Sharon is thinking spring! And what hops right along into spring time? Well, of course, bunnies do!  I first saw a folded dinner napkin bunny on Pinterest which had been originally pinned from Martha Stewart's site. Frankly, I could not follow Martha's instructions very well, but read one of the comments that suggested watching a you tube video that demonstrated clearer bunny napkin directions. I googled and found one! Boy, it was so much easier!


Bunny Folded Dinner Napkins-back view
Here a darling back view!  I added 1.25"silk ribbon of course and a stamped tag! After the folding was complete, I used a rubber band to hold together but not a tight rubber band! When I make more, I will just tie the ribbon to hold the folding together.  For the tag I stamped a sentiment from Spring Words, a new JustRite clear stamp set.  I used Memento Rich Cocoa ink, cut with a Spellbinders Oval die, and also rubbed ink on the tag front before adding that ringlet trim!  Are these just the cutest?  I love this kind of crafting! To use the dinner napkin, one will just untie that beautiful silk ribbon, unfold the napkin, and place on their lap!

Oceanside!

Third 4"x4" Wall Decor Canvas
This 4" x 4" canvas is the third in a series of four I've been working on for wall decor. I used stamps from JustRite's new set, Oceanside Oval Medallion Labels for this one. I started by covering all four canvases with Webster's Pages Yacht Club Papers using ModPodge. Don't you love this little crab? Using Memento Lady Bug ink, I stamped him three times, trimmed out, applied Martha Stewart coarse glitter, and gave each an adhesive pearl. The crabs are adhered to a Swiss Dot Cuttlebug dry embossed piece of white card stock that has been distressed with Tim Holtz Old Paper Ink.

I stamped the word Oceanside with Memento Rich Cocoa ink, cut out, they ruffed up the edges before adhering to the die cut frame. The frame is cut using the coordinating Spellbinders Nested Oval Medallion dies.  Oceanside Oval Medallion Labels is a JustRite cling set featuring 12 stamps.  I also used a star stamp and trimmed to out before attaching to the string knot.

4" x 4" Canvas One, Two, and Three
A peek of the three completed canvases.  One more to go! Then the only question will be what wall to hang them on! Can't wait to see them all hanging!  Thank you for stopping by today!  I appreciate every visit and love when you do!  Hope you have a fantastic Friday!

The fabulous JustRite Designers listed below have Oceanside goodness for you today!

Jesus, the Great I AM...JustRite Easter Blessings

Easter Blessings Bible Card
Good Morning! How are you today?  I hope this week has been a good one for you so far. JustRite is featuring Easter Blessings today and I have a card to share! The card is an attempt to create an open Bible look. I need to share that fact, because I'm not certain one could tell without that helpful tidbit of information! Just sayin! In my mind I had the vision, but the entire vision didn't make it to the card! Ever have days like that? The Velvet Ribbon, White Metallic String, Memento Ink, and Adhesive Black Pearls are found at The Stamp Simply Store. Rhinestone Swirls are from Zva Creative and the little cross is a jewelry charm from Michaels.


JustRite's Easter Blessings is a Clear Stamp Set featuring 11 stamps. The stamps are designed to coordinate with JustRite's Nested Spellbinders Oval Medallions Label Dies! All card stock is PapertreyInk, all stamping uses Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and images colored with Copic Markers. The pages on the card were cut using Spellbinders Labels Seventeen Die #6. After cutting I scored and bent each side slightly to try and get a lifted page look.


Copic Colored Easter Blessing's Card Image
Copic colors used are: N0, N1, BG10, BG13, R39, YR23, 0/colorless blender. The image was stamped twice. After coloring the stem and leaves on one, I trimmed out image. On the second image I colored the flower petals only and cut out to place upon the first cut out.  Jesus tag was cut out using a SU Label Punch. The "Bible pages" were stamped with two of the word stamps with Tim Holtz Old Paper Distress Ink.

Have a terrific Tuesday, thanks so much for stopping by! Tomorrow's blog post will feature one more home decor canvas! See you then!
