Step right up! The circus has arrived at Sweet Stamp Shop!

June 3, 2014March 18, 20153 Comments

Hi crafty friends! Step right up, because it’s time for the show to begin! The circus has arrived at Sweet Stamp Shop, and I have a trio of cards that are sure to surprise and delight you!

You’ll want a ringside seat for the first performer, “Elephant Hearts“! It’s one of three NEW stamp sets being released today at Sweet Stamp Shop, and each one is a star!

Today’s second performer has a “Juggling Act” to entertain you! He’s also great at birthday parties and would be happy to show someone special how much you appreciate all they do!

And the final act in the first June release is this little guy who is full of “Monkey Business“! (I hope those plates aren’t breakable!)

And here’s another look at all three of our star performers: “Monkey Business“, “Elephant Hearts” and “Juggling Act“!

So, how did you like Sweet Stamp Shop‘s first June release? I had a lot of fun playing with these sets, and they work so well together! Having all three sets opens up tons of possibilities for birthday invitations, thank you and inspirational cards, or fun cards for the special little guys (or girls) in your life! It’s so easy to mix and match with these sets!

As a special THANK YOU for coming to our release day show, take 10% off your purchase of these three new stamp sets with the discount code: JR310

When you place your order, PLEASE enter my name (SUZANNE) in the comments section of the order form, so Sweet Stamp Shop knows that I sent you!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I’ll be back soon with more from Sweet Stamp Shop! Our second release for June will be in about two weeks, and I’ll share more info with you as it gets closer!

Hugs,

Some fresh inspiration with Some Odd Girl’s Fruit Salad stamps!

June 3, 2014March 18, 20151 Comment

Happy Tuesday! I’m back with a project featuring the second new clear stamp set at Some Odd Girl Stamps, “Fruit Salad“!

I made these little note pad holders with the set! Each holder fits a regular 3″ x 3″ sticky note pad inside, and would be part of a great end-of-the school year gift for a teacher or any time for a friend!

And because it’s Tuesday, that also means we have new digis in the Some Odd Girl store! This card features “Graduation Mae“! I cut her cap off and made it look like she threw it in the air to celebrate! For those of you who are looking for a graduating guy, you’ll also find “Graduation Kody” in the SOG store!

And there you have it! For more creative options with this new digi (and with all of the Some Odd Girl Stamps) join us on SOG’s Facebook group!

You can also find more inspiration on the Some Odd Girl blog, where you’ll also find our June Linky Party! To join in the fun, just link up your latest creations with Some Odd Girl digi or clear stamps with the Linky tool on the blog! You just might win a prize and get a shout out on the blog!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope your week is going well so far!

Some Odd Girl has Cookies ‘N Milk to share with YOU!

June 2, 2014March 18, 20153 Comments

Hi, everybody! It’s time for a new clear stamp release at Some Odd Girl Stamps, and this month’s stamps are right up my alley! I love cute food with faces, and not only are there’s adorable “Cookies ‘N Milk” to share with you today, but you’ll go BANANAS for tomorrow’s set (and apples and pears)!

I’ve been working on my photography skills lately, and have been taking more photos outside in natural light. This one was taken on my front porch. I usually take 4-5 shots for each card and pick the best of the group for my blog post, which for me is the one that I’ll need to edit the least in Photoshop Elements.

Here are best pals Milk and Cookie! I stamped them holding hands, but you don’t have to. Each image can be stamped by itself!

An experiment on my part was to color a wood veneer heart with a Copic marker and attach some foil paper to the underside of the heart. I sealed it with some Glossy Accents. It took a long time to dry, but I think it came out OK!

You can find more delicious inspiration with this set at the Some Odd Girl blog, and both of the new clear sets are available NOW in the Some Odd Girl Store!

Now that we’ve flipped the calendar to June, there’s a new Linky Party at the Some Odd Girl blog! All you have to do is link up your latest Some Odd Girl projects for a chance at being featured, or winning some fabulous prizes! (You’ll find the linky tool on the right side of the SOG blog!)

Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by today! This will be a busy week for me on the blog, so I’ll have lots of fun projects to share with you! Hope your week is off to a wonderful start!

Hugs,

New Digi Tuesday ROCKS at Some Odd Girl Stamps!

May 27, 2014March 18, 20151 Comment

Hi, everybody! I hope you had a wonderful weekend, and if you’re in the U.S., I hope you had a safe Memorial Day holiday! I’m always happy for long weekends, but I admit that I sometimes forget the day of the week…that extra day often throws me off!

Never fear, I didn’t forget that it’s Tuesday, and that it’s time to share my projects with the newest digis at Some Odd Girl Stamps! First up is “Singer Kaylee“, paired with the “Star Card Base” cut file. You can find both the digi and the cut file in the Some Odd Girl shop!

My second project for today might be a little bit out of season, but it’s part of the “Sweet Words Sentiment Pack“, which includes three digital sentiments: “Be Mine”, “Sweet” and “Hey There Gorgeous.”

I printed the sentiment on white paper, centered it in a heart-shaped stencil, sponged ink over the shape, then cut it out and attached it to a chipboard heart shape. The pink bamboo twine on my card can also be found in the Some Odd Girl Store!

And there you have it! The newest digi stamps and files in the Some Odd Girl Store!

Have you hopped along with us yet? The Odd Girls have teamed up with the Ruby Rock-It Design team for a fun blog hop!

Some Odd Girl Stamps’ Newest Digi: Handyman Kody!

May 20, 2014March 18, 20151 Comment

Hi, everybody! Hope your week’s off to a great start! Since it’s Tuesday, I have a card to share that features the brand-spanking-new digi stamp at Some Odd Girl Stamps! This guy can handle anything that comes his way, and he’s ready to help when you need him! Meet “Handyman Kody“!

I picked some blueprint-style papers from Crate Paper’s “Boys Rule” 6×6 pad, and the sentiment from Some Odd Girl’s “Steampunk Kaylee” clear stamp set!

And there you have it! For more creative options with this new digi (and with all of the Some Odd Girl Stamps) join us on SOG’s Facebook group!

It’s new digi Tuesday at Some Odd Girl!

May 13, 2014March 18, 2015

Hi, everybody! Hope you had a wonderful weekend and that your week’s off to a great start! Since it’s Tuesday, I have a card to share that features the brand-spanking-new digi stamp at Some Odd Girl Stamps! This little cutie’s called “Kitty Hopper“!

Now, I’m not normally a cat person, but this little one made me smile! I also worked on the kitty’s fur by adding stripes. I would have liked to make the fur a little less smooth, but with practice, I’ll get there!

The layout on this card is fairly simple, with a large amount of white space, so your eye is drawn to the lower part of the card and to the main image. I also wanted to feature the images without fussy cutting them! The sentiment is part of the “Flirty Mae” clear stamp set. I masked the speech bubble tail to make it a circle accent.

And there you have it! You can see more creative options with this new digi and with all of the Some Odd Girl Stamps in SOG’s Facebook group!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I chose a sentiment from the “Wishes” clear stamp set to go with the digi image.
