Zoo-pendous Sneak Peek
Today is our last day of sneak peeks for this release and I hope that you have enjoyed what you've seen so far! Today we are showing off an adorably whimsical set illustrated by Melyssa Connolly that will make you go wild!!
Did you make your way here from the lovely Iwona's blog? If so great! If not, you may want to head on over to the TSG Blog for all of the details about this Blog Hop Challenge as well as to find out how you can win the set being featured today!!
Zoo-pendous is a 6x8 set that will sell for $24.
I put together a project featuring today's Zoo-pendous sneak peek and let me tell you, it took foooooorever lol! I combined this new set along with a few older stamp sets: Blossom by Blossom, Puppy Love and Penguin Love. The size of the girls coordinated perfectly with the animals in this new set to look like they were enjoying a fun day at the zoo :)
All images were stamped multiple times onto white cardstock using Momento ink, colored with Prismacolor Pencils, blended with OMS, cut out and layered together using dimensionals so they looked 3D. Time consuming but worth it :)
I hope you enjoyed this month's sneak peeks! Now it's time for you to hop on over to Jessie's blog.

Get Your Thong On Sneak Peeks!
Yippee, it's day one of the TSG August release Blog Hop Challenges!! Today we are showing off a sassy little mini set illustrated by Melyssa Connolly. That girl cracks me up with the sentiments she comes up with and she definitely fits it perfectly here at TSG :)

For my sample card, I wanted to show how this new mini set can be paired with other TSG stamp sets like this older one illustrated by Chris Dark called By The Sea.
Not the best picture but I wanted to show how I added 'speckles' to the flip flops with a Copic Multiliner so that they would be the same art style as the By The Sea stamp set. You would never know that these two stamp sets weren't meant to be together!
Thanks for stopping by! Now hop on over to my fabulous
friend Jessie's blog to see what goodness she has to share with you :)

Getting sketchy with TSG
Hooray, it's release week for There She Goes! All week long the Trendsetters will have sneak peeks of the soon to be released stamp sets and you will have the chance to win new goodies as well :) Are you signed up for the TSG Newsletter yet? If not, head on over to the TSG website and enter your email address in the box located on the lower right hand side so that you will be sure to receive the newsletter when it goes out later today!
This week's festivities starts out with this fun sketch. It's a nice and simple layout that is perfect for so many different options :)
I decided to make another frame project using the provided sketch but ended up tweaking it just a bit in the creating process. My image panel is a bit wider and the ribbon goes behind it instead of in front but otherwise I pretty much stuck to it ;) I used an older mini set that happens to be one of my favorites called Angel Mail. It was released last year around the time that our oldest daughter Kylie was diagnosed with JDM and the sentiments really mean a lot to me. (You can read Kylie's story here)
Angel wings were stamped multiple times onto white cardstock using Momento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with Prismacolor pencils, cut out, layered using dimensionals and adhere to the card base. I used my new favorite seam binding that you can find right here at Ribbon Carousel.
And here is the project once I put it into a frame-
Stamps: Angel Mail, Buckets Of Love
Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black, Soft Sky
Paper: White, Black, DP by My Mind's Eye, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Seam binding from Ribbon Carousel, Dimensionals, Prismacolor pencils, OMS, Button, Twine, Nestabilities, Sponge, Sewing Machine
Make sure you stop by again tomorrow for the first of the Blog Hop Challenges!!

Blooms for Holly
Hello everyone and happy Saturday! I hope that your weekend is off to a great start and you have lots of fun things to look forward to :) I wanted to share this project that I made for Holly to show my appreciation for her being such a great support to me and TSG. I love how it turned out and turns out, she loves it just as much :)
The flowers used are from the set Bloom. All images were stamped onto white cardstock, colored, cut out and layered together with dimensionals to give a 3D look. After I was finished with the complete scene I framed it for a finishing touch.
Here is a picture of the project in a frame-
Ink: Momento Tuxedo Black, Versafine Toffee, Early Espresso
Paper: Very Vanilla, Black, White cardstock
Accessories: Prismacolor pencils, OMS, Dimensionals, Sponge, Sewing Machine
