SOG New Release: Threshold Mae!

1 Comment

Greetings! You are cordially invited to the first day of previews for the December clear stamp release at Some Odd Girl!

Today’s card features “Threshold Mae,” who has just tied the knot with her true love! This set also comes with two sentiments; one is showcased on my card! You can see ALL of the GORGEOUS-ness that the other Odd Girls created with this set at the SOG blog!

I used a few new techniques on my card that I hope will inspire you! I folded some silver washi tape and used a mini heart hole punch to make a border strip. 
I also changed the look of the two heart brads. They were originally white, but I coated them in watermark ink, and dipped the inked top in silver embossing powder and heat set it (tweezers are a BIG help to hold the brad while using the heat tool). Keeping the brad in the tweezers, I applied another layer of embossing powder to the brad and heat set it again. 
Stay tuned…We’ve got lots of presents for YOU this week…in addition to two more clear stamp sets releasing this week, there will be two new digital stamps in the SOG Store tomorrow! AND be sure to make a note to join us for our HOL-ODD-DAY Hop on December 9!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you have a wonderful week, and I’ll see you back here tomorrow!
Hugs,

Say HEY to Wave Mae!

Hello there, Oddies! I hope you enjoyed the gingerbread card that I showcased yesterday as part of this week’s joint festivities with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and Some Odd Girl!

We’ve joined forces with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L this week, so make sure to visit both the Some Odd Girl and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blogs to see what projects they’re featuring today, and to leave comments for a chance at one of TWO SWEET adhesive prize packs OR a $20 gift certificate to the SOG Shop!

Today, I’m sharing a card that features a new digi stamp just released at Some Odd Girl! Say “hey” to “Wave Mae”! The sentiment is from SOG’s “Tiny Baker Tia” clear set. The layout is based on Deconstructed Sketch #128.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you’re having a wonderful week, and if you’re in the United States, I hope you have a safe and happy Thanksgiving holiday!

Football Tia makes a touchdown at SOG!

Hey everybody! Just popping in today to share a card that I made with one of the two new digis released today at Some Odd Girl! Here’s “Football Tia“:
Since my husband is a San Francisco 49ers fan and I follow the New Orleans Saints, I couldn’t decide which team colors to use…so I colored her up in some fierce hot pink and black gear! Maybe she’s playing Powder Puff Football?
My card layout is inspired by CAS(E) This Sketch! #53:

We’re SPEECHLESS about this month’s challenge at SOG!

Hi, everybody! Now that it’s November, there’s a new challenge at Some Odd Girl! Thanks so much to everybody who went OMBRE with us last month…there were so many AH-MAY-ZING creations, that you left us speechless!
So, we’ve decided that the theme for this month’s challenge is SPEECH BUBBLES! And what better way to kick off the challenge than to show you our creations with the new “Speech Bubbles” cut file!
For my card today, I chose “Puppy Gwen“, who is giving some snuggles to her puppy pal:
I also used one of the images in the new “Speech Bubbles” cut file and created a custom cut file for my layer of patterned paper so that my typed sentiment and bubble would be on the same layer. I’m pretty stoked about how it came out! My main image is popped up with foam tape to give it a bit of dimension.
So, get your speech bubbles and a SOG image, whip something up, and join in the fun at the Some Odd Girl blog!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you’re having a SWEET week so far!
Hugs,
