 
I am so excited today to be posting a special Birthday Wish to Our Daily Bread Designs owner, Kelley Holland! This is a very special birthday for Kelley, as it’s the BIG 50!!! The Design Teams have gotten together for a Birthday Blog Hop for Kelley, and a special gift as well. We’re so happy to have you join us on this hop… and we hope you will visit each post and leave a comment, because some of the DT members have BLOG CANDY hidden along the way!
For the card I’m showing today to celebrate Kelley’s birthday, I wanted to do something really different so I sat down with ribbon and created some roses, buds and leaves constructed into a spray to run down the left side of the card. Of course the card is on a base that uses Spellbinders™ Diamond Strips and Accents. This is Kelley 50th Birthday so I used both a Happy Birthday sentiment from Mini Tags 3 and The Sky is the Limit from Keep Climbing. Lol, 50 is the new 40 and there’s no where to go from here than up! One of the sentiments is on Spellbinders™ Fancy Framed Tags Two and the other sentiment is on Spellbinders™ Back to Basics Tags. Now below, I have the list of people participating in the hop and all the details for the blog candy.
You have until 8pm EDT Oct. 8th to leave a comment on each blog. The team members who have the candy will be drawing names from those who commented on their post, announcing it on the 10th of October! There will also be an announcement here on the ODBD Blog on Oct 10, telling who had the blog candy and who were the chosen winners. You will need to check that post and notify the Design Team member within 48 hours if you won one of the candies!
So now…. here is the order for the hop:
Thanks so much for helping us celebrate Kelley’s birthday. I hope you are having a wonderful day, I’ll be back soon with more to share!!
Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs October Release Blog Hop! This month’s hop is all about the upcoming holidays: Christmas and Thanksgiving! We are excited to be sharing our projects with you today! If you got here from Julie’s blog then you are in the right place. If not you may want to peek at the list which is posted on the Our Daily Bread Designs Blog so that you can start from the beginning.
This is my first Christmas card of the season, (I think), and I decided to go with non-traditional colors. I used the new O Christmas Tree Carol background stamp and a sentiment from the Perfect Gift. The music background is cut from Pergamano using Spellbinders™ Labels Seventeen. Over the edge of cut label I hung the flourish element from Spellbinders™ Twisted Metal Tags and Accents. Last I stamped the Christmas tree and overstamped it with a sentiment on Spellbinders™ Labels Twenty Eight. Then I added bling and a bow to finish up.
Here are the basics of the Hop: The Hop will run 8:00am Oct. 1 to 8:00pm EDT Oct. 2. Winners will be announced Oct 3. There will be SIX prizes of your choice of one set!!! Hop to each link and leave a comment, then return to tell us you completed the hop, and answer the question on the ODBD blog. Check back on the ODBD Blog on Oct. 3 to see if YOU are one of the winners!

Hugs to you all, thanks for stopping by today!!
Sweet blog friends. I hope wherever you are the weather is a glorious as what I have :-) First of all, thanks for your prayers; my sister came through her surgery just fine and I even had a great conversation with her today. Even though I’m sure she was worried with what she faced, on Thursday as she was preparing for surgery the UPS man delivered a gift to me from her. Wow, hunh? I’m still beaming from ear to ear. Any ways, I have a couple of cards to share – these were actually started earlier in the month but I didn’t have a chance to post them. The first one features one of the sentiments from a new stamp set in the October Amazing Paper Graces Kit. I have to admit that when I set down to create the stamp set, I tried to dream of things I would want to stamp for a long time and could use for a variety of occasions. I do love this sentiment. Once it was out and I started to think of what I could use it with, I can’t think of a more perfect background than the Lace Background Stamp by JustRite Papercrafts that I embossed in ivory and Spellbinders™ Floral Oval — these are both things that I think, exude femininity and elegance. I reached in my die template stash for Spellbinders™ Grand Labels Four to make the shaped card.
To finish, I centered the sentiment on Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG so that the beauty of the embossed lace could peek through.
| SUPPLIES I USED |
Stamps: October Amazing Paper Graces Kit – It’s Sew Vintage, JustRite Papercrafts – Lace Background Stamp
Paper: The Paper Company – Cream White, Simple Stories – Typewriter, Pergamano Vellum
Ink: Amuse French Roast, Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink
Accessories: Spellbinders™ Floral Oval, Spellbinders™ Grand Labels Four , Spellbinders™ Classic Ovals LG, seam binding, Recollections Pearls, lace, flower, ivory embossing powder, gold button |
For my next card I stacked two die templates that I wouldn’t normally thing would work, but I stand surprised. Kind of like polka dots and plaids – you have to try it together and see the result before you decide. So for the bottom layer I used Spellbinders™ Vintage Lace Motifs then I added a defining circle in both cream and black using Spellbinders™ Standard Circles LG. For the top layer I’m using Spellbinders™ Venetian Motifs. I like the contrast between the lacy rounded edges and the peaks. I’m using a sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs called Keep Climbing.
What a powerful message! Cream and black are one of my favorite combinations. I added a couple of pearls to make it elegant but I would send this to a man. In either event – this goes into my encouragement card stash and I need to get busy to add a couple more :-)
Hoping you are taking advantage of a beautiful day. I’ll see you soon!

A stunning rose bouquet. I think you hit this one out of the park-so gorgeous. I always thing when looking at one of your cards, now how is she going to top this one–and then you do!
Gorgeous card, Becca… as usual.
But now I am suffering from serious rose envy… I LOVE FOLDED RIBBON ROSES (and ribbon “embroidery” – especially vintage – in general)! Just love, love, love, love, love them. And have never ever – not once! – had success in making them myself where I’m satisfied with the end result (and yes I am very very picky… I don’t want an amateurish result. I’ve tried working from books, web sites with instructions, you tube videos… whatever I’ve been able to find info for this particular style of folded ribbon rose. So PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE consider making one of your outstanding instructional videos for this rose floral spray.
Thanks, as always, for continuing to share your talents and inspirations!
Gorgeous card!! love the roses and the diecuts on the side and bottom!!
Just love those roses
As always, BEAUTIFUL. Would love a tut on the flowers.
