Two more ODBD cards

My husband doesn't like me crafting while he's home since he rarely is. I've figured out a way to get some stamping and scrapping done WITHOUT him realizing I'm away from him...pretty sneaky, huh? It doesn't take much for my husband to fall asleep - a few caresses and bingo! Out cold! Yes, sometimes I employ the little technique Ross would do to Rachel on 'Friends' as described to Chandler: A hug for him and a roll for me and I'm FREE! I have yet to roll my husband off the bed - thank goodness for that!

These are two cards I made using Our Daily Bread Designs sets while enjoying some freedom in my craft room:

I used the Light of the World set for this card. This stamp set is just so beautiful! I used two pieces of 4 1/4" x 11" cardstock that were adhered together and cut at opposite angles. For the front I cut coordinating double-sided Stampin' Up scrapbook paper and added it to the front. A 1 1/2" x 12" piece of cardstock was used to make the band. I heat embossed the scripture and light house on watercolor paper and popped some parts out for dimension. The little brown "moss" is a product called Flower Soft in Nut Brown. You can find more information on that HERE and added a Dew Drop from the Fresh Mowed Grass bottle. The finished card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" when closed.

I used Fruit of the Spirit for this last one. I love the details on all the fruits which made it so easy for me to add color and dimension. I ran the printed paper through my Cuttlebug with the Swirls embossing folder and used a sanding block to lightly distress the raised parts. I used a Martha Stewart punch to thread the burgundy ribbon through the top and bottom. The oval and scalloped oval were created with my Nestabilities (which I love because it cuts AND embosses!). The little "v"'s are from a Stampin' Up photo corner punch. Again, I chose which images to pop out and added Crystal Effects to obtain more depth. The card is a 5/12" square.
