Are you ready to PARRRRR-TAY with the newest digis at Some Odd Girl?

9 Comments
Happy Tuesday, everybody! It’s new digi release day at Some Odd Girl, and my card for today features the cutest party animal on the beach or in the ocean…meet “Party Crab“!
After coloring him up, I drew in some sand and added some Distress Stickles to give the sand some texture. Glossy Accents give the balloons some extra shine, and you can find the sentiment in the “Party Girl Gwen” clear stamp set! 
Did you notice that Orange Bamboo Twine? You can find it in the “Odds & Ends” section of the Some Odd Girl Store! It’s thicker than the baker’s twine you might be familiar with, and I love the pop of bright orange against the navy card stock!
And, I couldn’t resist coloring today’s second new digi, “Mermaid Queen“! I picked one of the sentiments from the “Under the Sea Mae” clear set to go with the image.
So there you have it! Two new digis for oceans of coloring fun!

New digis and a new challenge at Some Odd Girl!

2 Comments
Happy Tuesday, everybody! You know that today is new digi day at Some Odd Girl, right? Get ready for some coloring fun with “Jump Rope Tia“! She joins “Skateboard Tobie” today in the Some Odd Girl Store!

Some Odd Girl Stamps supplies: “Jump Rope Tia” digital stamp. Other supplies: patterned paper “Cut & Paste” – American Crafts/Amy Tangerine; sentiment sticker – Simple Stories; enamel dots – My Mind’s Eye.
Isn’t she cute? I had fun coloring her, especially because she reminds me of the fun I used to have as a kid! 

I’m not much of an outdoors person anymore, but I spent lots of my younger years in summertime riding a bike, roller skating, or playing outside…I’m much more worried about tripping over something or embarrassing myself if I tried any of that today!

And, there’s a new challenge kicking off today in our Facebook group! Our theme for this 2-week challenge is “Wishy Washi”, so break out your Some Odd Girl images and your washi tape and join us! My card for the challenge features one of the bunnies from the new “Hip Hop Hooray” clear stamp set! 

I attached two strips of washi tape to white cardstock, trimmed the tape-covered strips, and folded them to look like ribbon loops!
Don’t forget, our challenges have moved from the Some Odd Girl blog to the new Facebook group! If you’re not a member, pop over and join us! And, for all the latest and ODD-est news, make sure you’ve signed up for the SOG newsletter!

Hi, everybody! Welcome to the second day of the April clear stamp release at Some Odd Girl! Today’s projects will have you shouting “HIP HOP HOORAY”, which also happens to be the name of this adorable set! 
Since I couldn’t choose between the set’s two bunnies for my project, I made a tag with each of them! The carrot is a separate stamp from the set, and I masked it onto each bunny. Aren’t they cute? I love how soft and spring-y they are!

Other supplies: patterned paper: “Fresh Cut” 6×6 pad – Basic Grey; buttons, border strips and product packaging: SEI. coloring medium: Copic markers; foam squares, twine; pearl accents: Prima, ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Teal Zeal – Tsukineko. 
Not only are there new clear stamps in the Some Odd Girl Store, two new digital stamps are making their debut today! Check out “Bug Catcher Tobie” and his jar of (organically awesome) fireflies:

It’s Digi Release Day at Some Odd Girl!

Hi, everybody! Hope your week is off to a good start! I’ve been doing a lot of coloring, and am trying to work on shading and light sources. Even though I’ve been through both of the Copic certification classes, there’s still so much to learn!
Images like the “Grands” digis at Some Odd Girl are great for practicing shading techniques. For today’s card, I worked on creating more dimension in the face and the clothing. The main image, “Grandpa Feeds the Ducks“, is one of two new digis in the Some Odd Girl store:
Because the paper was so bright and kind of busy, I went with a softer mat panel under the main images. I didn’t want to make it plain white because of the ducks, so I chose a light blue woodgrain pattern from my stash. I also made a custom accent by stamping a sentiment from the “Make A Statement” clear set on a piece of adhesive cork.
Did you have a chance to stop by the Some Odd Girl blog yesterday to check out my inspiration post? I made a felt coffee sleeve, stamped a few images from my Some Odd Girl clear stamps onto pieces of felt, then stitched them to decorate the sleeve!
Here’s a look at the front of the sleeve:

SOG’s new digis = warm weather fun!

4 Comments
Hey, everybody! It’s time for a new digi stamp release at Some Odd Girl, and I’ve gotta say, today’s pair of digis have got me looking forward to some warm weather fun! First up is “Bubbles Tia“:
SOG supplies: “Bubbles Tia” digi stamp, sentiment from “Breakfast Friends” clear set. Designer Paper: “It’s A Celebration” 6×6 pad – Carta Bella, assorted Copic markers, Stickles, translucent sequins, Ranger Glossy Accents.
I loved blowing bubbles as a kid; how about you? I used some translucent sequins as accents near the sentiment, which is from the “Breakfast Friends” clear set…but it also works well with this digi! I also used some Stickles on the balloons and sealed them with Glossy Accents to give them some dimension.
My second card for today features “Hula Hoop Mae“:

SOG supplies: “Hula Hoop Mae” digital stamp, sentiment from “Flirty Mae” clear stamp set. Other supplies: Designer Paper: “Sketchbook” 6×6 paper pad – Amy Tangerine, foam tape, neon pink ink (Hero Arts), sequins, assorted Copic markers.
I also loved my pink hula hoop, although I seem to have lost my coordination for it now that I’m older. Maybe it’s time to get another one and change that!
The sentiment on this card is from the “Flirty Mae” clear set. I masked the speech bubble tail so that it would stamp as a circle instead!
Our Spring Social kicked off yesterday with all of the details and the first clue to the week-long scavenger hunt included in the newsletter. Make sure to sign up for the newsletter if you don’t get it! There’s still time to join all the fun, so make sure you’re a member of our Facebook group to play with us!

SOG Clear Release: Hipster Mae!

Hey, everybody! I hope you’re having a blast with us during release week at Some Odd Girl! If you haven’t joined our Facebook community yet, get over there! We’re having contests, playing games and chatting about all things ODD (and there are some prizes up for grabs, too)!

Today, we shine the spotlight on “Hipster Mae“! 


I bought a sheet of cork at Michael’s, and have been experimenting with it on my projects. I wasn’t sure if the cork would be a good stamping surface, but I LOVE the result! For some reason, I thought the ink would bleed, but it stamped really crisp and made a great custom accent!

Don’t forget, we also have a new monthly challenge for you to play along with! It’s all about GOLD! Head over to the SOG blog to get all the details, and link up your entry!

I’ll be back tomorrow with the third clear set being released this week, “Hipster Mae“! But, you can head over to the SOG Store NOW, and snag all three sets!

Have you seen SOG’s new bamboo twine? It’s fabulous, and perfect when you want to add pops of bright color to your creations!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope your week is going well so far! See you in the SOG Facebook group for more release week festivities and fun!

Hugs,
