SOG Clear Release - Hipster Mae

I'm almost sad to see this release come to an end, but here we are at the last of the Hipster collection with the lovely Hipster Mae! *Twirls her* I gave her cool clip in pink streaks and super cute purple and mint outfit and of course she's got her hip handbag and latte. I imagine her out on the town, taking lots of selfies! *Snickers*

Well, now that we're winding down, how did you like the release? Wasn't it fab? Or should I say, hip? Swing by the shop to pick these babies up, and the festivities are still in full swing over at the Facebook page! See you there!

SOG Clear Release - Hipster Pets

Hello my dapper friends! It's day two of the new Hipster clear stamp release and today we're bringing you Hipster Pets! I actually made two projects with them, because I just couldn't resist the cute! The first is my dapper fox. I've named him Lord Swishytail. I used a book page for the back and stamped him directly on the page and then I colored him using Tim Holtz Distress Markers. I love the way the copy still shows through a little through the ink. I used a piece of vellum behind his monocle and added the bowler hat and mustache add on stamps in the set. 

The next I've named Captain Whiskermittens. He's quite dapper as well, and I think he and Lord Swishytail would get along famously. I actually used the reverse cuts from the Fox card to make the Cat's card and added some more of the Fancy Pants Swagger paper and coordinating bakers twine and buttons.

I adore this set, and I know you will too. Pick it up at the shop, and while you're at it, pick up Hipster Kody and sneak a peek at tomorrow's release! Don't forget to join us at the Facebook release party!

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 Digi Release - Daffodil Fairy & Daydreaming Fairy

Today's release has not one, but two Awwwwwww-mazing fairies in it!! If you've already colored the super cute clear stamps and you've just been sitting around twiddling your thumbs, this is the release for you! First up is Daffodil Fairy! She's cute as a button, isn't she? I actually printed and colored her up in layers, with the wings being the base (and covered in pretty glitter) and then the fairy and then the flower being a layer all to itself. The sentiment is from Pixie Dust and the embellishments are a combination of wood stars and teenie tiny sequins. 

Next up is Daydream Fairy. I love her sweet long hair bedecked with flowers and who doesn't love a mushroom (Me, I'm deathly allergic, but this kind is crazy cute! The sentiment is from Fairy

  Magic.The papers all came from this month's Simon Say Stamp card kit and a few embellishments from the latest Paper Issues Swag Bag for good measure.

SOG Digi Release - Hand Holding Mae & Kody

*Waves* I'm in puppy love with the new release this week from Some Odd Girl! I love a good couple stamp and who is better than Mae and Kody? (The answer is no one) I had a lot of fun creating a neat-o translucent heart background and using papers from the new Fancy Pants paper line. The sentiment is from Artist Mae and it's decorated with sequins and a bit of doodling.

I think they are totally sweet together, don't you?

SOG Digi - Best Man & Formal Mae

Hey there! Me again with this week's awesome Digi release!! I was crazy excited about this one, because not only do we get an amazing Formal Mae, but we also get Best Man, which can either be an adorable Bromance or a cute gay couple. You choose. Totally cool, yeah? To start, we have Best Man. If any of you know me, you know I'm a kind of crazy Drarry fan. (Drarry = Draco/Harry fanfiction) I've even been known to write it. So when I saw this digi, I instantly thought of them and colored them up accordingly. *Winks* I think they are super cute and I want to smoosh them together and yell "KISS!". *Clears throat*

Moving on.....

And then we have the ever so stylish Formal Mae in her swanky gown. She's totally rockin the Angelina Jolie leg pose, which I love. I'm crazy about how her dress turned out in the red. I used to be terrified to color red, but now it's one of my favorite colors. The sentiment is also one of my faves from the I Do stamp released in December. I've been using the heck out of that set!

I hope you guys find some inspiration here, or at the very least some entertainment. *Grins* Go to the shop to get yours, and while you're at it, swing by and visit the blog for this month's challenge: Misting & Masking!

SOG meets Perfect Layers!

If you’re not already familiar with Perfect Paper Crafting, you are in for a TREAT!  Their tools allow crafters to get perfect placement of their mats and edges, easily shape and layer, and AIRBRUSH for gorgeous effects on their projects!  The Odd Girls enjoyed playing with their Perfect Layers, Perfect Squares, and Perfect Ruler for this little event…

I had the Perfect Layers Border Tool #1 to use and found it so simple. It gave me 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 and 5/8 increments to work in and all I had to do was flip it and line it up with my piece and Blam! Awesome card! No measuring! (I might have already used it on 2 other project this week *Shifty*)

The paper I used is from the Fancy Pants Park Bench collection and the stamp and sentiment are Some Odd Girl (of course) Thank you Mae clear set.

SOG Clear Stamp Release - Little Loves

Okay, so generally Alexis + Kids = No. *Snort* My poor mom has finally settled into the fact that I'm just not a baby person. Why are they always so sticky?! *Headshake* Anyhow, there are a couple of exceptions to my rule and that's my nephew Dorian and my nephew by best friend association, Sebastian. I kind of love both those kids. (But don't tell anyone) This Little Loves stamp reminds me so much of those adorable boys and I just love it!

I did some paper piecing with the stuffed bunny, because I just HAD to and I had fun creating a loud background for him.

Skin:
Hair: E25 & E27
Clothes: B37, B39, E39, YR61, YR65, Y38 & Y23

The sentiment is from the same set, and there is also another cute baby in the set.  I always struggled finding images of babies that I could use on projects for showers or early birthdays and these are a perfect addition to my collection. (In fact this card will go to Dorian after I release it here)

I hope you liked today's project and I hope to see you all over at the main Some Odd Girl Blog for the chance to win this awesome set!

SOG Clear Stamp Release - Welcome Baby

Have you been in need of a good set of baby sentiments? Really? What a coincidence! So have I!!

 

 This new Some Odd Girl set is just perfect for a baby shower or congratulations card. (I could have used this a couple months ago when my sister in law had her shower) I made a cute border with hearts to match the one in the set and added a bit of bakers twine, but I really think the sentiments speak for themselves. See what I did there? Anyhow, puns aside, you should go and get yours now! And don't forget to comment on the blog for your chance to win this awesome stamp!

SOG Clear Stamp Release - On Safari

This stamp pack is incredible! There are so many adorable baby animals to choose from, but I couldn't resist this sweet elephant.

I thought it was perfect for a sweet card to send a friend who is going through a rough time and needs a friend.

I did a little paper piecing on the stamp and then went over it with BV20 & BV23. The sentiment is from the same set.

The set also contains another cute elephant, a giraffe and an adorable lion. You should check it out here! And don't forget to leave a comment on the blog for the release for a change to win these awesome stamps!
