ODBD Stamping In Time Challenge and more!

It is time for  ODBD Stamping In Time: On Assignment Challenge(SNTODBD39)! The assignment is to use Our Daily Bread Design stamps. The challenge this rotation is  to reuse or recycle.      Remember, the more you play the more you increase your chance to win! We look forward to seeing what you create using ODBD stamps!

For my card I am using ODBD Scripture Collection 6, Porch, Serve the Lord, and Dahlia stamp sets.  Today's card is more about reusing and using items a bit differently than before, as well as using items for something other than there intended purpose.

Whenever I craft, I oftentimes cut out lots of different dies and play around with looks for my cards.  I never throw away a die cut piece of cardstock so I keep a stash of precuts in a basket to pull out for a later use.  Today's assignment is perfect for using and reusing some of my precut stash.


After looking at some of the Spellbinder's new release blog frenzy this week, I decided to play around with my Spellbinder's Fleur de Lis squares, Fancy Tags Two, Fancy Tags Three, and Nested Lacey Pennants. 

     Grand Calibur cuts all these wonderfully detailed die cuts out beautifully and with one pass.  Like butter I tell you.  The picture at the top shows the Square Fleur de Lis  die cut in half and put on the card front saloon door styling.  It is open from the top and the bottom with a slight overlap in the center.  The center focal panel is die cut and I centered.  I used the strip in the Nested Lacey Pennants and double ended cut it to create a V cut tab at both ends. I used the sentiment from ODBD Serve the Lord set to stamp inside this pennant.  It was placed perfectly with the stamp a ma jig. 

The center insert was double ended die cut with one of the tags from Fancy Tags Two.  See picture.  The black cardstock and ivory cardstock are 3 3/8" wide and tucked under and cut to create a new look for a frame.  I staggered the top and bottom just a bit to show the black coming out from behind for added detail and definition.  I stamped the vintage border image from Porch across the top of the panel and the bottom with some chamomille ink.  I cut a square and stamped one of the scripture from ODBD Scripture Collection 6 in the center and once again used the stamp a ma jig for perfect placement.  I added some touches of the dahlia flower using some berry sorbet ink stamped off for a more subtle soft look. 

The cameo and circle flower were reused jewelry items purchased from Micheal's.  I cut the circle off of a fabric collar and attached on top of my seam binding bow.   I cut the cameo off of a bracelet item.  

As always thanks so much for stopping by!  Check out another sample for the challenge designed by Grace Nywening.
