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,

SOG December Challenge: Make Your Own Background

2 Comments
Hi, everybody! we’re ringing in December with a new challenge at Some Odd Girl! Thanks so much to everybody who joined in the speech bubble fun for our last challenge! We’re keeping the creativity going this month with a “MAKE YOUR OWN BACKGROUND” challenge!
For my card today, I chose the giraffe and a sentiment from the “On Safari” clear set:

I made my custom background with one of the patterns in the Rectangle Backgrounds cut file. Instead of die cutting card stock, I used the file to cut a transparency that was the size of a card front to create a stencil. Then, I secured the stencil to the card stock and my work surface with washi tape and sponged ink onto the card stock.

After letting the ink dry, I tore one side of the card stock panel and finished making my card!

So, now it’s time for you to grab your SOG stamps and your craft supplies, and get inky with it!

Make a card, tag, or other creation that uses an SOG image and is based on the theme for this month’s challenge, then link your entry on the post for this challenge at the Some Odd Girl blog! We can’t wait to see what you’ll create for this one!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you have a wonderful week! I’ll be part of the December clear stamp release previews this week at Some Odd Girl…I know you’ll fall in LOVE with all of them!

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!

WELCOME, Odd friends!  As promised, we have an exciting week planned for you!  Some Odd Girl and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L – we’re STICKIN’ IT TO YA!


Today marks the first of five days of bonding stamps and sticky stuff! It’s going to be a fun and inspiring event that runs November 25th through December 1st, and I’m part of today’s showcase of stunning creations to share with you while you hop! 

On my card, I used Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L’s 3D Foam Squares – White Mix to create some dimension, and here’s a little peek at the layers from the side:


I used some of the larger foam squares to adhere the plate to the card front, and the smaller foam squares to stick the gingerbread man to the plate. I LOVE how these squares are separated from each other on the backing sheets…they are ready to go! 

I’ll share a little secret with you…I am a foam square addict!!! I use foam tape or squares on many of my cards. 

Sometimes I want to add support to a section, but it’s too small for a big square, so I cut them in half or into thirds before I stick them down on my project. It works great for a different shape, like the arms on the gingerbread man. With a strip of a larger foam square, the whole arm is supported instead of a part of it!

Here’s a picture of my card from the front! The image and sentiment are from SOG’s “Gingerbread Kaylee” clear stamp set! I made the plate by layering two punched circles, and drew in some crumbs with a matching pen. I used a scallop circle punch to make the “bite” in the gingerbread man’s leg.

And there you have it! Some Odd Girl and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L will be sharing projects on their blogs Monday through Friday, and if you follow along and comment on each of the posts along the way (that’s 10 comments you’ll need to make, folks!), you’ll be entered to win some serious swag from both companies!  

There are two happy boxes of adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and two $20 gift certificates to the Some Odd Girl shop to be won! Here are the main blog links: Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and Some Odd Girl!

Be sure to make your way around to both blogs each day this week. You have until Sunday, December 1st at midnight EST to squeeze in all your commenting – we’ll be announcing the two lucky winners on the SOG blog on Monday, December 2nd!


Thanks so much for stopping by today!

We’ll be celebrating Thanksgiving here in the United States next Thursday, and it looks like “Turkey Kaylee” is ready for the feast to begin! My inspiration for coloring Kaylee was Lucille Ball from the classic TV show, “I Love Lucy”! I love Kaylee’s cool retro look, don’t you? 
But wait, there’s more!

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,
