TSG174 Sketch Challenge (Freeze The Moment)

 

Hi everyone, happy Tuesday! Can you believe it? Two posts in a row lol! Today I have a card to share that I made using this week’s TSG sketch challenge. This is such a fun sketch and I love how the card turned out!

TSG174

I used the stamp set Freeze The Moment. Images were stamped in Memento black ink and colored with Twin Touch markers. The ribbon is crushed silk (gorgeous in real life!) and I got it (along with the twine and wooden button) from RibbonCarousel.com. The DP is My Favorite Things by My Mind’s Eye. Adhesive rhinestones came from my miscellaneous embellishment stash.

TSG173- Presents

 

This week our challenge is brought to you by our Trendsetters! We are challenging YOU to make a card or project with a “presents/gift giving” theme. That can be tags, bags, cards, whatever you like!!

I chose to make a cute little gift card holder using the stamp set Out Of This World. The images were stamped onto white cardstock (that was cut out using cut files for the Silhouette, I will start adding these files to the store soon!) and colored with Prismacolor pencils. The DP used was from my scrap bin.

Here is the front of my card. The center piece is actually a belly band that wraps around the entire card to help keep it closed.

Here is a straight on view of the inside

Here is another view that shows the sentiment panel

And here is what it looks like holding a gift card. The moon panel is actually two separate pieces of cardstock that are adhered together on the outside edges.

I used the stamp set Birthdaybot. The image was stamped onto white cardstock (that was cut out using Nestabilities) using Memento Black ink and colored with Prismacolor pencils.

The DP used on this card is from the pack Technologic by KaiserCraft.

TSGBC04: Banners!

As you all know, we have been working very hard here at TSG to set up a brand new website. The ‘old’ store has been closed down for a few days while we add the finishing touches to the ‘new’ store and I’m happy to say that we are finally done!! Well, for the most part lol. It will still be a few days until the new URL will be linked to the store so until it is active you will notice a temporary URL. You can still get to the store by visiting www.thereshegoesclearstamps.com and you will be redirected to the new store :) Happy shopping and if you run into any issues regarding the new website, please don’t hesitate to let us know so that we can fix it! Thanks for your patience everyone!

*****************************************

I wanted to do something out of the ordinary with today’s card so instead of just using banners and a birthday themed stamp set, I mixed it up with a few TSG stamp sets that you might not think to use for a birthday card! I started off by cutting the banners out with one of the dies that is in the World’s Best Dies set and then stamped the banner image from World’s Best onto DP before cutting it out and paper piecing it onto the banners. I then stamped the stitched images from Stitched With Love in the center of each banner before adding some shading with colored pencils. The sentiment is actually a combination, the top part is from the Stitched With Love stamp set and the red part is actually from the stamp set My Little Friend. Don’t you just love how well the TSG stamp sets work together??

The DP is Alphabet Juntion by Carta Bella

The string, button and Peanut Cluster cardstock base are from RibbonCarousel.com

I absolutely love the inspiration piece for today’s challenge! I chose to use the colors teal and red and use piggies for the main images. The stamp set that I used is Oh Crop. Images were stamped onto white cardstock, colored with Prismacolor pencils and cut out. The Happy Birthday sentiment was used from the stamp set My Little Friend.

When I cut images out (that I don’t intend to layer) I like to leave a small white border around it because I think that it gives the image a nice polished look.

When I am cutting out images that are going to be layered together for a 3D look, I cut right on the line and then go back and use a black marker around all of the cut edges. I do that last part because it really makes a huge difference on the finished product! Your eyes are able to take in the image without focusing on all of the white edges of the different layers :)

I wish I could tell you what DP I used but it unfortunately it was from my scrap pile, sorry! The beautiful crochet ribbon, twine, and button are from RibbonCarousel.com .

The border punch and punches I used for the sentiments are all from SU.

The challenge for today was to create a masculine themed card and I think that I accomplished that even if it is a twisted kinda birthday card lol! I was flipping through all of my TSG stamps trying to decide what I wanted to use and as soon as I came across Hauntingly Delightful, I just knew I had to use it!

All of the images were stamped onto white cardstock with Black Momenta ink and colored with Prismacolor pencils. The DP is a new Halloween pack from Echo park which can be found at (along with the ribbon, button and twine) from RibbonCarousel.com . Do you see that cute little green die cut peeking out from the bottom of the ribbon panel? That’s the TSG Spider Web Die that we released last year!
