SOG Clear Release - Hipster Kody

Good morning, lovies!! The Some Odd Girl clear stamp release you've all been waiting for it finally here! Wooooo! This is the first stamp from the release, and he's called Hipster Kody! Is he totally hip or what? I can't help but adore him, partially because he's so fun to color, partially because he's so different from a lot of the other Kody stamps and partially because of his uncanny resemblance to Johnny Depp....*Giggles* I loved tricking out this card with some vintage buttons and grungy papers from the Fancy Pants Swagger line. The sentiments that come with this stamp are perfect and I can never seem to have enough cool guy projects.

Go and get yours at the shop now, or stay tuned this week for the rest of the release and grab them all! If you haven't already noticed we're having a release party this week for the Hipster Stamp sets over on the Facebook page and we're going to be having lots of fun games and trivia! Join us in the fun!

SOG CHA Sneak Peek - Hipster Kody

Are you feeling cool today, Oddies? Ironically so, perhaps? Well, have I got a sneaky treat for you! Alexis here with today CHA sneaky peek and today it's Hipster Kody! I love this whole release, but I have to admit, I kind of have a crush on this stamp. Maybe it's the cool guy glasses, or maybe it's the man purse, but I have a feeling it has more to do with his uncanny resemblance to Johnny Depp...*Clears throat* Okay, back to business. Here is the card I made for CHA using this awesome stamp and one of the super cool sentiments that comes with the set.

Now I bet you can't wait to see more! Well, you're in luck, because at 9am Eastern time tomorrow we'll have one last super sneaky sneak peek for you...what will it be, can you guess? While you wait, why not enter our January Tag! You're it! Challenge?! I think it's a good idea and I'll bet Hipster Kody would think you were pretty rad if you do!

SOG - Digi Release Day - Super Mae and Sweet Kiss Kody

Oh my goodness, the digi release this week is SO MUCH FUN! I say this as if I don't love every SOG image, which I do, but I have a serious soft spot for super heroes and my husband (more on that later)

 

 To start with, we have Super Mae, who is so super cute. I went round and round on what color costume to give her, but I knew I wanted something classically bright! I added some sentiments from Moulin Mae and Make a Statement clear stamps and I think they work perfectly!

  

And then there is Sweet Kiss Kody, which brings us back to my husband..lol. We met 14 years ago, and this was the ideal image for a card to celebrate the event. Painted wood veneer embellishments are my new favorite thing. With a sentiment from the new I DO clear set, Seth was very happy with his card. It's up on the card shelf by his bed. So cute. 

Thank you all for stopping by. I know Christmas is just around the corner and everyone is so busy, but don't forget about the December Make Your Own Background challenge over on the SOG Blog! 

SOG April Sketch Challenge

I'm trying to be more participatory *Grins* This week I've been all over Some Odd Girl. Earlier this week I did the Live Color Along with Kristy and we did Mad Hatter Kody. It's actually a stamp I've had for a while and I've been dying to use. Apparently I just needed an excuse.

This weekend I put him on my April Sketch Challenge card. The Challenge is to make a card based in the following template.

I thought my new Mad Hatter would fit in perfectly.

The papers are SEI and a small portion from the Graphics 45 Wonderland collection (Seemed appropriate). The ribbon is from Websters Pages and reminded me of a fabric measuring tape that Kody would run around using to measure people's heads for hats, and the flags are from Studio Calico.

I used Copics to color and used the colors from the Live Color Along (You can read all about it here on Kristy's Blog and see her much better coloring)

I almost didn't do the Epic Pants. I chickened out at first and just made them pinstripes, but Kristy's came out so cute that I had to try it and I must say, I'm very pleased with the results.

Some Odd Birthday

For my favorite couple, I made adorable cards using a couple Some Odd Girl images. The first was for my fellow baker buddy, Brenna. I used Baker Mae for the main image (Isn't she cute). Her dress is a combination of Y21-Y28 & BG53-BG57. I made the I Heart Cake banner in Photoshop and cut that, the backers and the continued chevron pattern on my Zing. (Seriously the best thing my husband has ever bought me. I love that he supports my habit...I mean hobby)

 

Her husband, Roman, has a birthday very close to Brenna's, so I thought it would be nice to make him a card too, even though usually the only guys I make cards for are my own husband and my family members, but I figured being the husband of my best friend makes Roman family, right? Totally. 

For Roman's card, I used 1920's Kody from Some Odd Girl.

I used YG91-YG99 to color his outfit and added a few matching brads and buttons. Roman raved over it, which was very touching. It's always nice to know that the cards you make will be kept and cherished.
