Snow Queen Piper is all NEW in the Some Odd Girl Store!

1 Comment
Hi, everybody! It kind of seems out of season now to share a card with a winter-themed digi, but I think you’ll agree this new image from Some Odd Girl stamps is a perfect sendoff to the season! 
Snow Queen Piper is the second of two new digis being released this month at Some Odd Girl. Last week’s digi release, Snow Fun Tia, is a great companion image to this one! Here’s my card:

It’s a Some Odd Girl spa day with Mae!

Hi, everybody! Hope your week is off to a great start! I have one card to share with you today, and it features “Spa Day Mae“, the newest digital stamp in the Some Odd Girl shop!
I chose the designer paper that I used for this card because I loved the colors. After I finished coloring the image to match the paper, I thought the paper looked a bit too “busy” to me, so I muted it with a panel of vellum. 
I heat embossed the sentiment (it’s from Some Odd Girl’s “Renew” clear stamp set) on the vellum to keep the number of layers down and to give a little bit of contrast to the soft look of the vellum.
For more inspiration with “Spa Day Mae,” stop by the Some Odd Girl blog! You should also join us in the SOG Facebook group and show us what you’ve made with Some Odd Girl stamps!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you are able to take some time for yourself and get creative!

Bonjour, Frenchie Gwen!

Bonjour, mes amis! Today I’m sharing a card with the second new clear stamp set at Some Odd Girl, “Frenchie Gwen“! In addition to the main image, the set includes two handwritten calligraphy sentiments, a mini outline heart and an Eiffel Tower stamp.
I created a photo-inspired scene with the Eiffel Tower and Frenchie Gwen stamps:
The sentiment is stamped on vellum with watermark ink then heat embossed with black embossing powder. I also used a Hexie Dot and some Pink Bamboo Twine as accents.
I hope you’ve been enchanted by our new release, which is available now in the Some Odd Girl Store! For more inspiration with Frenchie Gwen, or Frenchie Kody, stop by the Some Odd Girl blog!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Bonjour, Frenchie Kody!

Happy Monday, Oddies! I’m so happy that it’s clear stamp release time again at Some Odd Girl Stamps! We have a French theme this month with our two new clear stamp sets, and we begin by saying “bonjour” to “Frenchie Kody“!
I used some air-mail style papers from my stash for the card and went with a clean and simple style. I heat embossed the sentiment on some vellum and cut it out to pair with the heart stamp.

I’ll be back tomorrow with a new project and the second new clear stamp set in Some Odd Girl Stamps’ February release, and I’m sure you’ll fall in love with it, too! Make sure to stop by the Some Odd Girl blog for more inspiration with Frenchie Kody! 

Now that it’s February, we’ve kicked off a new Linky Party on the Some Odd Girl blog! To join the month’s party, just add your latest Some Odd Girl creations with the linky tool! You can also share with us in the Some Odd Girl Facebook Group! For all of the latest Odd scoop, you can also find Some Odd Girl Stamps on Google+, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest (#SomeOddGirl)!

Two new digis at Some Odd Girl Stamps!

Hi, everybody! I have two cards to share with you today that feature the brand new digi stamps at Some Odd Girl!

Ann is guest designing along with us for this release, so be sure and stop by the Some Odd Girl blog today to see the cards she made, and find out more about the inspiration behind her winning idea!

Here’s my card with “Wheelchair Kaylee”:


Our second new digi today is “Girlfriends Kaylee and Mae“. Don’t they look like they’re having fun and sharing secrets?

Hello Oddies, welcome to Day 1 of our 3rd Annual Hol-ODD-Day Hop!

hop

We Odd Girls have joined together for a fun event for EVERYONE – not just because you get to hop, but because you get to PARTICIPATE and share your own holiday creations!

We mixed things up a bit to bring you a variety of holiday projects that we hope will inspire you. You can comment on all of the blogs, participate by linking your own below (to be eligible to win, be sure you link to us in your post), and comment throughout the event on other people’s links as well!

And there will be PRESENTS! The hop starts Monday, December 8 and runs through Friday, December 12th. We’ll be announcing 3 winners next Wednesday, December 17th, so you have plenty of time to comment between now and then! You have until midnight on Friday, December 12 to link your projects to our Hol-ODD-Day Hop link party.

Today, all of the Odd Girls have projects to share for the big event, so you can visit their blogs to see what they’ve created for the hop. (You can find the full hop list at the bottom of my post.)

I made ornaments using the Snowflake Ornament cut file. You could also use this file to make photo gift tags or dress up a gift bag! I dressed up the ornaments with some Sorbet Sequins, glitter glue, and some Blue Bamboo twine to hang them up! If you don’t have photos to use, you can substitute your favorite holiday Some Odd Girl digi or clear stamp!

The pictures I used are a few years old, but I made one featuring our dog, Midnight, and another with Scott & me:

Here’s the hop list for our awesome team:

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Remember to comment along the way, and link up your holiday-themed projects using Some Odd Girl stamps (new or old)! We can’t wait to see what you make!

A Doggone Cute Piper Stamp at Some Odd Girl!

Hi, everybody! I’m back for Day 2 of the October clear release at Some Odd Girl Stamps! Since yesterday’s “Cat Lady Kaylee” set was for the cat lovers, today goes to the dogs with “Walk the Dog Piper“!


I thought it would be fun to add some of the Hexie Dots wood veneers to my card. They add just the right pop of dimension and tie in to the paper I used.

Make sure to visit the Some Odd Girl blog for more inspiration with “Walk the Dog Piper“! 

Do you love Pinterest? We do, too! In fact, we love it so much that Some Odd Girl Stamps has a special Pinterest board for Oddies to pin their latest creations! Click HERE to visit the board, and head HERE for all the details on how to be added to the board!

Hugs,

You’ll go CRAZY for Cat Lady Kaylee!

Happy Monday, Oddies! It’s time for another clear stamp release at Some Odd Girl Stamps, and if you’re a cat lover, you’ll go CRAZY for today’s new stamp set! I’m not a cat person, but I loved coloring these kitties!
Isn’t “Cat Lady Kaylee” meow-velous? (You can find the sequins and twine in the Odds & Ends section of the Some Odd Girl Stamps Store!)

New Digi Tuesday at Some Odd Girl Stamps!

Hi, everybody! Hope your week is off to a great start! Since it’s Tuesday, that means I have a project to share with you featuring a brand-new digi at Some Odd Girl Stamps!  
The fairy digis and clear stamp sets are super popular, since we see so many fabby creations with them in our Facebook community, our monthly Linky Party on the blog and on our Oddies Project Board on Pinterest! I know this one will be super popular, too! Meet “Petal Fairy“:
Isn’t she gorgeous? I colored her to match some retired papers from my stash, and heat-embossed a sentiment from the “Make A Statement” clear set to match the frame on the card front.
And since we’re on the subject of new digis, did you see the new contest that kicked off yesterday at Some Odd Girl Stamps?
I’m sure you have a wish list of digis that you’d love to see in the Some Odd Girl Stamps lineup (I know I do). With the “Digi Me” contest, your idea might come to life as a new digital stamp for Some Odd Girl!
You can find all of the details on the contest at the Some Odd Girl blog, including some OUT OF THIS WORLD examples from the super-creative Odd Girls!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! 
Hugs,

Some Odd Girl Stamps "Digi Me" Contest!

Hi, everybody! Did you see the AWESOME new “Digi Me” contest kicking off today at Some Odd Girl Stamps? You’re going to LOVE this one!
Some Odd Girl Stamps is looking for YOUR ideas for new digis! If you’re part of the Some Odd Girl Facebook community, you’ve probably seen a list with different digi ideas, and some of them have been made into some FABULOUS digis! This contest kicks things up a notch…I’ll show you what I mean!
The only required info: character, pose, and outfit. If you want to add more to it, go for it! We want to see creativity in your entries…you can make a photo collage like I did, have a link or picture list or if you can’t find the pose and outfit you’re looking for online, take a picture of yourself and write up the rest!
For example, my idea is “Detective Kody”, so I put together this photo collage. The character is inspired by Benedict Cumberbatch’s portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in the BBC TV series “Sherlock,” so I used photos of the character that I found online to help illustrate my idea.
The contest kicks off today, September 29 and runs through October 23. You can enter three times on each platform, including the Some Odd Girl blog, Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook. All entries must be publicly visible or they won’t qualify for the contest. You can find the full details at the Some Odd Girl blog, including which hashtags to use on your entry.
We’ll be picking one winner per platform. Each winner will be a guest on the day their digi is released (with the digi in advance to make something for the blog post), and will receive a $20 gift certificate to the Some Odd Girl Shop!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Grab your thinking cap, and get cracking on your entry! We can’t wait to see your entries!
Hugs,
