TSG Gobble, In Stitches Blog Hop Challenge

Hello and welcome another There She Goes Blog Hop for November!
Have you come here from Corinna’s blog? If so - great, but otherwise you can start from the beginning on the TSG blog.

Today the Trendsetters are showing you two new, cute & whimsical stamp sets!

Just in the time for Thanksgiving! Torico has illustrated this fun and adorable Turkey that has a lot to say 😉 Not only can he hold a sign designed to say 7 different sayings but he also has his glass and fork ready just in time for the big dinner.

Photobucket

Gobble is a 3×4 stamp set that includes a total of 13 of stamps and will sell for $7.

One of the biggest trends in stamping right now is using a sewing machine to stitch directly onto your hand stamped cards. While this technique gives a very detailed look, it can be a little frustrating trying to master! No worries, TSG is here with a quick and easy way to get that stitched look you love! This mini set not only has some beautiful silhouette border images but it also includes two styles of stitching that will give you that stitched look you are after.

Photobucket

In Stitches is a 2×6 stamp set that includes a total of 7 of stamps and will sell for $7.

Unfortunately, I’m not having the sample for the “In Stitches” set for you today (my happy mail hasn’t arrived yet, and it’s not a good set to be previewed in the digital form…), but here’s the adorable turkey for ya’!

Photobucket

Supplies: cardstock: American Crafts; paper: Cosmo Cricket; stamps: There She Goes (Gobble); ink: Versa Color (Celadon); Copic markers; sewing machine; border punch: Fiskars; string; buttons

My layout is based on SSSC90, again - quite freely… I don’t know why somehow I can’t seem to stick to the sketches properly lately…

Smile

I thought I wouldn’t make it with one more card tonight after all. I had a surge of sudden tiredness, after I had finished the previous post, but then Zuzia came in frolicking and I didn’t have to worry about these things any more :)
The card that I’m about to show you, despite being quite simple, took me some time to make… I like how it turned out - the mix of dry & wet embossing, patterns, and the pop of colour.

Photobucket

Supplies: cardstock: DCWV, American Crafts; stamps: Sweet n’ Sassy, Papertrey Ink, Stampendous, Hero Arts; ink: Versafine (Onyx Black), Tim Holtz DistressInk (Pumice Stone), VersaMark; watercolour pencils: Belgrave; blender pen; clear embossing powder: Hero Arts; string available here; QuicKutz embossing folder (Diamonds and Dots)

I made it for FS194, with Lynnette (LynniePoo) being a Featured Stamper, but I’m afraid I ventured from CASEing to being loosely inspired in the process… I chose this beautiful card.
I also took the colours from Curtain Call 53:

Good night, sweethearts… I’ll chime in tomorrow! Have a lovely day…
