A little sneak peek on what's to come

Hello and happy Friday stamping friends!!!  I have a little sneak peek for you all today to share part of a set I made for the October release over at Our Daily Bread Designs. Even tough this is just a peek on what's to come, I am sure you will not be disappointed. I kind of went with a fun color combination taking my inspiration from the Designer Paper which is a pack by K&Company that I picked up last year on clearance for only $1.99. Have a look and see for yourself

Recipe:

Paper:   PTI Vintage Cream, Papyrus like paper from my stash, DCWV Mariposa, K&Company Christmas Paper Pad

Stamps: ODBD Holiday Ornaments, Christmas Door, Elegant Ovals (all to be released tomorrow!!!)

Ink: VersaFine Onyx Black , ODBD Olive

Accessories: ODBD Elegant Ovals, Spellbinders Labels 20, I am Roses mini leaves, semi-open rose buds, Wild Orchid Crafts roses, red lace and golden trim both from my stash

See, a pretty fun card. I took all of the colors I used from the DP which is fun and a bit whimsical with the reindeer and the blue bird (which is sort of hidden under the sentiment panel).

I hope you've enjoyed seeing this little sneak peek and I will see you all bright and early for tomorrows October release!! 

Thanks for stopping by and making my day just a little brighter! I love reading your comments!

Hugs and blessings,

For the Fall theme and colors I used this amazing pumpkin stamp and pumpkin custom die by ODBD. I tell you, using this awesome die, it made it easy as pie (kind of rhymes,hehe) to cut the image. I also got to use some awesome new Spellbinders dies I just got last week....so fun.

Have a look at my creation

stamping friends!  I have a quick and easy and super CAS card to share with you all today. You are saying to yourself "CAS for Sabrina?"  Yes, very much so. :D You know sometimes you don't need much and that sure counts for this sentiment from one of the new releases for this month over at Our Daily Bread Designs. I chose the Apple Seeds sentiment because of his powerful meaning and this is what came out

Recipe:

Paper: PTI White, Ripe Avocado, Memory Box Rhubarb

Stamp:  ODBD Apple Seeds

Ink: VersaFine Onyx Black

Accessories: white crochet lace, Kaisercraft red half pearls, Spellbinders Parisian Accents, Classic Scalloped Circles Large, Standard Circles Large, seam binding, apple button from my stash

What do you think? This powerful sentiment does not need much, does it? I hope I was able today to inspire you with this card and hope that you will take a minute to think on this sentiment. Isn't it so very comforting to know that God is this great?

Thanks for stopping by today and making my day a little brighter.

Hugs and blessings,
