You know what’s the coolest thing about the first of every month?  Our Daily Bread Designs has new images that we are allowed to share on that date!  Well, as the new month goes, I have a new card to share and can tell you a little bit about the new releases at Our Daily Bread Designs.   There are three new sets and you can see them HERE.  Kelley has been designing sets to accommodate all the occasions in our lives and here are some more to add to your collection for Get Well, Thinking of You and Friendship.

My card uses the Thinking of You set.  I find that so often I am sending a no occasion card, and well . . . this will sure fit the bill.  I simply layered Spellbinders Snowflake Frameabilities (I’m intrigued with the shape left over after cutting the small frame) and three Spellbinders Labels Four.  I made a small mat out a cream colored Labels Four by cutting diagonally and stretching the shape out a bit.  The final touch was that huge ribbon – yes, it is 3 inch wide ribbon.   All I can say is that I was just in that wide ribbon mood. :)

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  Our Daily Bread Designs – Thinking of You
Paper:  The Paper Company, DCWV Rustic
Ink:  Colorbox Pigment –  Topaz
Accessories:  Spellbinders Snowflake Frameabilities, Spellbinders Labels Four, Gold Pearls, 3" Wide Ribbon, Clear Embossing Powder

 Well, like the stamp says, God’s Blessings to you :)  Thanks for stopping by to see me, it sure warms my heart.

Happy Monday friends!  It will be a busy week with sporadic posting from me but I wanted to share a JustRite card with you this morning.   I picked some wintry, cool colors, snow flakes and lots of framing to showcase another of the adorable JustRite Christmas sets, this one is called Christmas Joy Borders and Centers Oval Set. 

I started out by cutting Spellbinders Labels Eight and cut two additional dies from white to use as a tiny layer – they are the same size as my blue Labels Eight panel however they are offset a little bit so that you can see the white.  On top of that I layered the Spellbinders Snowflake Frameabilities with the small frame from Spellbinders Poinsettia Frameabilities centered on top of that layer.    That gives me a good area to  put my JustRite layers which are cut using Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large.   A cinched bow topped with K&Co Snowflakes and pearls finishes it all.   Rare for me, but I decorated the inside as well :)

Card Recipe:
Stamps:  JustRite Christmas Joy Borders and Centers Oval Set
Paper:  Little Yellow Bicycle, Heidi Grace, The Paper Company, Bazzill
Ink:  SU Bordering Blue
Accessories:  Spellbinders Labels Eight, Spellbinders Poinsettia Frameabilities, Spellbinders Snowflake Frameabilties, Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large, Ribbon, K&Co Snowflake embellishments, pearls

JustRite Tip:  Not sure where to start?  This week I’ve received several emails asking advice on what sets to start with for JustRite.  There are so many good sets, it just depends on what you like to stamp and my feeling is that you are always safe to start with Monograms.  Be sure to check out THIS guide on the JustRite Stampers site that addresses where to get started and how to build a basic set of JustRite stamps.

Spellbinders Tip:  Several of you have emailed me about tips and techniques for cutting with Spellbinders.   Pendant dies are quite intricate and I’ve found it helpful to rub the die template with wax paper before cutting – it helps the die pop out.  Someone recently said to cut the wax paper and leave it in place so that you have a waxy base on your die – the paper is so thin that it’s no problem.  With different conditions like humidity and paper thickness, if you find that your intricate die did not cut on the first pass, rotate the die 90 degrees and run through your die cut machine again.  As these become mainstay tools I’m amazed at the tips that other Spellbinder users are coming up with – be sure you check out the Spellbinders Blog and search threads on Splitcoaststampers.
