Hello and happy Hump day stamping friends! Today I have a Christmas card to share with you all that I have made using one of the November release stamp sets by Our Daily Bread Designs called Turtle Dove Ornament.  For some reason I am not in a Christmas mood yet, I mean really, we still have 90 degrees temperatures here in sunny Southern Arizona, but with some Christmas carols on my iPod I've tried and this is what I have come up with.


Peace & Joy





Recipe:

Paper: PTI Vintage Cream, Recollections Kraft, My Minds Eye Signature Christmas

Stamps: ODBD Turtle Dove Ornament

Ink: VersaMark, Ranger Detail Embossing Powder

Accessories: Spellbinders 2012 Heriloom Ornament, Standard Circles Large, French Frills, beaded trim, Brides golden rhinestones (from Michael's Bridal Section), deep red Mulberry roses, Cuttlebug embossing folder Damask

Well, this is my card. I hope that I was able to inspire you with today's post and that you will find some time to tell me what you think.

Our Daily Bread Designs November Release Blog Hop




Hello my friends! Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs November  Release Blog Hop! If you got here from Dawn's   Blog, you are in the right place! If not, you might want to start at the ODBD Blog so you don’t miss anything!


The hop will run from 8am EDT Nov 1 until 8pm EDT Nov 2. Winners will be announced on the ODBD Blog Nov 3 Three hoppers will win their choice of one free set, and 1 blessed hopper will win the entire Nov. Bread Basket Bundle......YAY, how awesome is that?! Simply hop to each stop, leave a comment and return to the ODBD Blog to tell us you completed the hop and let us know if you had any problems along the way! That’s it! Enjoy!!!

This time around I did not make a card, I went with some gift tags and a little gift bag to put them in.




and here is view of the backside where the names can be added.



And here are the stamp sets I've used to make it easier for you to find

Christmas Flourished Verses







and Chickadee Ornament




Recipe:

Paper:  PTI Ripe Avocado, Vintage Cream, Recollections Naughty or Nice DP

Stamps:  ODBD Christmas Flourished Verses and  Chickadee Ornament (I only used the "To: Love:" stamps from that set)

Ink:  VersaFine Onyx Black, Tim Holtz Distressing Ink Aged Mahogany

Accessories: Spellbinders Beaded Circles, Labels 28, Cheery Lynn Designs Fanciful Flourish, moss green grosgrain ribbon, clear rhinestone brads, poinsettia flowers from a flower spray I bought at Michael's, red and green dew drops, Dusty Olive seam binding.

So, what do you think? I thought this would make a sweet little gift and the recipients could use it to put on their gifts or gift bags. I did tie the seam binding into a bow just to make it easier to photograph. The seam binding is 14" long and should be long enough to tie unto a handle or some other ribbon and still get a nice size bow at the top.

Well, this is it for my project for this wonderful Hop. From here I will send you off to my German buddy the super talented Silke.

Thanks so much for stopping by today for a visit! I do appreciate you taking the time and leaving me a comment.

Have a blessed day!

Hugs,

Sabrina

Our God
