Stamping In Time: On Assignment Challenge(SNTODBD23) and Blog Candy!

Welcome to Our Daily Bread Designs Stamping In Time: On Assignment Challenge (SNTODBD23)!    It is time to start mailing all those wonderful Christmas cards we have made so far this year. However, I am sure that many of us still need to whip up a few more. I am challenging everyone to make Christmas cards! You can create one or several. You can enter as many times as you like. You can mass produce a style or create a very detailed stand alone card. The choice is yours! If you have any Christmas card creating or mailing tip, please share with us in your blog post. Anything to make the process easier is a good thing! While ODBD stamps are required, others are allowed. We look forward to seeing what you create using ODBD stamps! Our Daily Bread Design stamps!

I created four cards so far using a basic format.  I wanted a type of mass producing, but allowing each card to have some individuality.  When I think of mass producing cards per se, I think of  like colored cardstocks, embellishments, and stamp selection. The process begins with a card and all products are cut and assembled to end with a set of cards just alike.  I wanted to take this process a step farther in that I wanted the concept of each card similar, but each card having its own look.  I started with  a basic layout and an assortment of Christmas designer papers.  For these cards I am using Webster's Pages and Memory Box Tinsel.   I chose the cardstock to coordinate with the designer paper for each card.  I chose a sentiment from various selections of ODBD stamps.  For my cards I am using ODBD  Luke 2:11, Christmas Verses, Blessed Christmas, and His Gift stamp sets.  I paired each sentiment with a Spellbinder's Nestabilities.  I sponged the edges of the base, sponged inside the nesties frame with the sentiment in a like color, added a bow and flourishes pearls or regular pearls and my cards were complete.  I hope to complete a few more that I will post later. (EDITED:  Here is a post with three more)! Each card can be viewed in more detail by clicking onto it.

In addition to the challenge, since it is the most wonderful time of the year, ODBD Stamping In Time is offering up some blog candy.  We would like to give everyone a chance to win a very special ODBD stamp set. It is called Blessed Christmas!   Just leave a comment on each of the designer's blogs listed below and go over to the ODBD SNT post and tell us about one of your favorite Christmas Traditions.
