Here they are! Three of my designs that I submitted for my Some Odd Girl Design Team application.
|
For this one I used the Sock Hop stamp set from My Style Stamps which can be found here www.mystylestamps.com
and colored her in with Spectrum Noir markers. I then took black card
stock and die cut out random hearts with a heart from the My Creative
Time Stitched Sweethearts & XOXO Dies. I found a single sheet of
pink and white animal print paper and cut it down to fit behind the open
die cut hearts. I stamped a sentiment and music notes from the same
stamp set inside one of the hearts with black ink. I found an old piece
of matching solid fushia colored paper and embossed it with music notes
from an embossing folder from The Paper Studio. Lastly, I added attached
my gal with some foam dots and then finished the card by adding some
enamel dots that I made. (I will be adding a tutorial soon on how I made
these enamel dots by melting mini pony beads) |

For my second card I used the adorable Some Odd Girl clear stamp sets Preppy Pups and Clever which can be found here www.someoddgirl.com
I colored them using my Spectrum Noir markers. My base card stock is
Crisp Cantaloupe from Stampin Up and the back ground card stock is some
old scrap card stock I had. I felt it needed to be jazzed up so I used
some clear liquid glue to make some strips and sprinkles some white
iridescent over the glue. Viola, I had a blinged background :) I then
took three colors of string from my daughters friendship bracelet stash
and wrapped it at the bottom in a straight line. I also wanted it to
look like the kitty made a mess of the string so I made little balls to
look like yarn and glued some of it loosely on the card even wrapping it
around the kitty. As I was laying it down I got an idea to form a heart
into it as well. To finish it off I stamped some sentiments from the
set onto some scrap card stock, I took some Stampin Up ink pad colors
that matched to trim the edges of my sentiment bubbles by rolling the
edges around the ink pad, added some plastic bows to the kitten and
puppy, and also added some rhinestones to give the puppy a diamond color
:) Oh, and I popped up the puppy, kitten, and sentiment bubbles with
foam dots. |

For my last card I used this beautiful clear stamp set from Some Odd Girl called First Dance Mae which can be found here at www.someoddgirl.com
Again I colored them using Spectrum Noir markers. I used black card
stock for the base and background behind the couple. I also used Coastal
Cabana card stock from Stampin Up to attach to the top of the black
card stock. I embossed the Coastal Cabana card stock and black center
card stock with embossing folders from Sizzix. The flowers came from
Michael's Crafts that I found in their dollar bin. The sentiment came
from a My Favorite Things stamp set (sad to say they no longer make this
stamp set). I stamped the sentiment onto a mint colored vellum using
Versa Mark then I sprinkled black detailed embossing powder and heat set
it. I hand cut the vellum into a banner shape.To make my trim at the
bottom of the card just behind the banner, I found some matching ribbon
and attached it to some strips I cut from some black card stock. Lastly I
used foam dots to pop up my couple, I added oval enamel dots that I
made, and using glue dots I positioned the vellum banner to make it
appear as though it was raised off the card. |

This is the inside of the card. The corners I made using the My Favorite Things "Four Corners" Die-Namics, The first sentiment is from the Stampin' Up "See You Later" set, all of the remaining sentiments (except for celebrate) are from the My Creative Time "Chocolate Greetings" set, the hearts are from My Creative Time "Stitched Sweetheart & XOXO Dies" set, envelope came from My Creative Time as well - It's called the "Mini Stitched Envelope Die" and lastly the celebrate sentiment as well as the wine glasses came from Oriental Trading Company "Celebrate" clear stamp set. The black ink was Momento "Tuxedo Black", the teal ink is from Studio G, and the silver is actually Smooch Pearl Accents. |
Hi, Charity! These are so cute! I really like the unwound yarn on the kitten and puppy card. Thank you so much for your comment on my post with the cross stamp. It is a stamp, (Grunge Cross) from Our Daily Bread Designs and it really is quite stunning. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Heather for the sweet comments! I really appreciate you swinging by my blog! Thank you so much also for letting me know where you got the cross stamp! I have never heard of them but I am going see if they have a website so I can get my hands on that amazing stamp ;) Thank you again! Have a blessed and wonderful week!
DeleteThank you so much Lenny! And thank you so much for the color combos. I have Spectrum Noir colors but I actually just bought my first Copics today. I only got 5 markers but I'm pretty excited over those 5 ;) Now I only have about 300 and some left to get, lol! I definitely will be getting some of the colors you mentioned so I can give the hair a try because I just love how you colored the brown hair! (Oh... if you ever want to add me as a friend on Facebook just send me a request :) I don't like to pester fellow crafters with requests on their personal pages in case they prefer to keep their page 'personal') Have a blessed weekend and Thank you again!!!
ReplyDeletehiya Charity! Thanks so much for you kind comments on my blog...
ReplyDeleteFirstly, yes there is a little cheesecloth on my card, well spotted.Lol!
The purples... well I used LV3, HB1,2,3, and they blended well for me... I can always send you some step by step pics, if that'll help.... add me on FB sweetie, the link is on my blog :-)
That would be awesome if you could do that because I absolutely love the purples, so I would use them a lot more if I could get the darker purples to blend. I sent a friend request on Facebook :) Thank you so much again! I really appreciate it!
