Welcome to day one of the TSG sneak peeks! If you arrived here from Holly's Blog then you are right on track. If not, you may want to go the TSG Blog to find out what all of this hoopla is about and also how you can win the set that is being previewed today!!
I'm feeling a little sketchy today. Why?? Because that is this week's TSG Challenge! Make sure you stop by the TSG Blog to check out this week's sketch. This is also the start of release week at There She Goes! Yipee!! You may find that the Trendsetters may giving you an early sneak peek of the new sets for their challenge cards ;)
For today's card, I used one of the new sets. This set is so much fun to color and paper piece! I am trying to go out of my comfort zone a bit when it comes to designer paper and colors as you can clearly tell by my use of green and teal lol! I haven't quite decided if I like it yet. It's growing on me....
I think my mojo is finally making an appearance and it's about time! This card was totally cased from this great card made by fellow Trendsetter Jodi. I changed the designer paper used, type of flower and placement, and used different images (but same stamp set Loads Of Fun).
I started out with a 4.25x4.25 Chocolate Chip card base then added layers of Whisper White, Chocolate Chip and DP by My Minds Eye (I think?). Before I adhered the DP to the CC layer, I stitched it using my sewing machine. The scallop layer was made using Nestabilities as was the white layer on top of it. I sponged the white layer with Creamy Caramel ink before adding my sentiment (in CC). The socks were stamped onto the DP with Momento Tuxedo Black then I colored in parts of it with my blender pen and CC ink. I cut them out and added them to the card with dimensionals. I'm not sure who makes the prima flowers, I got them from my friend Kelli. Aren't they pretty?? I threaded the button with brown embroidery thread before adhering it to the flowers.
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you will join us tonight here on the TSG Forum for our Friday Night Chat! The chat officially begins at 7:00 PM Pacific Time (10 Eastern) but feel free to stop in at any time during the day to say hello :)
I am so sorry that it has been a week since I've posted! My mojo went on hiatus and I just haven't been able to stamp. I am going to make up for it this week though :)
This week Jessie has a great challenge for us! We are to use at least 3 different types of embellishments. You can use as many of each as you would like but there has to be at least 3 different types. You can find out all the details here on the TSG Blog.
I'm not gonna lie, it took me a few hours to make this card. Wait, back up. It didn't take me a few hours to actually make this card but to come up with it. I had started two other cards before this one but they just weren't coming together for me so I decided to go nice and simple. I knew that I wanted to use this image and sentiment from the Loads Of Fun set and the ribbon/button/twine for my 3 embellishments. Sometimes it's just best to simple :)
Isn't that ribbon great? Michele sent it to me a TON of beautiful ribbon along with this gorgeous card. Talk about happy mail! Thanks Michele!!
Join us tonight here in the TSG Forum for the Friday Night Chat! It's a great time to hang out with friends and we love meeting new people!
Our challenge this week is brought to us by Holly! She has challenged us to make a shape card. Check out the TSG Blog for all of the details and to find out how you can win a $5 TSG Gift Certificate!
For my card, I used the brand new set Loads Of Fun. I cut out the card base with Nestabilities as well as the layers. The images were stamped in Momento Tuxedo Black, colored with a blender pen and SU inks, cut out and adhered to the top panel using dimensionals.
