You're A Hoot / Hauntingly Delightful Blog Hop Challenge

Today we are going to be showing you sneak peeks of two more stamp sets illustrated by Torico! You are not going to want to wait to get your inky hands on these bad boys ;)

One of the things that I have been wanting to add to the TSG stamp line is a cute owl themed stamp set so when Torico came to me with the idea of wanting to illustrate an owl set, I was totally on board! This fun stamp set includes owls in different shapes and sizes as well as fun sentiments and access images.

You’re A Hoot! is a 4x6 stamp set that includes a total of 26 stamps and will sell for $15.

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

It’s hard to believe that Halloween is just around the corner! Torico has illustrated a ton of fun images that you are going to love creating spooky projects with! From witches to vampires and everything else in between, this stamp set is going to quickly become a favorite of yours to use for years to come.

Hauntingly Delightful is a 6x8 stamp set that includes a total of 36 stamps and will sell for $24.

Would you like a chance to win both of these stamp sets? Here’s what you need to do- go to each of the Trendsetter’s Blogs and leave a comment on their You’re A Hoot / Hauntingly Delightful Blog Hop Challenge post. After you have finished checking out the eye candy and have left some love, return to the TSG Blog and add your name to the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this Blog Hop Challenge post. A winner will be chosen randomly using a random number generator to receive their very own You’re A Hoot / Hauntingly Delightful stamp sets. The winner will be announced Saturday (Sept. 25th) during the Release Party Chat.

There She Goes ~ Autumn Mosaic Blog Hop Challenge ~

Hello Friends!

I’ll bet you’re wondering why my sneak peek post is here on the TSG blog instead of my own. Well, sometimes good things happen at bad times. This is one of those times. Splitcoaststampers is upgrading our Wordpress blogs today and they will be unavailable for a good chunk of the day, so Jessica agreed to let me share here! Thanks, Jessica!!

If you’ve arrived here from Corinna’s blog, then you are spot on! If not, you might want to check out the post above to get the scoop on how YOU can win a copy of this amazing new set.

Fall happens to be my favorite time of year. I love the crisp mornings. It makes my coffee taste just that much better! I love the changing of the leaves. I love the hint that cooler days are ahead.

For my sneak peek, I made a couple of quick note cards. This new set is so versatile, I think you are going to add it to that *MUST HAVE* list!

Simply done, I just used a rotary cutter to create the curve in my card topper. Then I punched a scalloped oval and finally I used my beloved swiss dots embossing folder to give it texture.

Here are my deets:

Stamps: There She Goes’ Autumn Mosaic

Colors: Chocolate Chip, GP White, Bella Rose dp

Ink: Versafine Black Onyx, copics

Accessories: 7/8” chocolate grosgrain, ½” red satin, red ½ pearls, circle nesties, oval punch, scalloped oval punch, dimensional, scor tape, rotary cutter, swiss dots embossing folder.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Now it’s time to send you hopping! You’ll want to head on over to Iwona’s blog to see what eye candy she has waiting! Thanks so much for stopping by today. I am very hopeful that I’ll be back on my blog, Toy’s Haven, tomorrow!

Hugs!

Holly

TSG73 ~ Mix 'n' Match ~

Hello, friends!

This week I am challenging you to mix and match your sets. I am forever bragging on the fact that you can mix and match the There She Goes sets to create even more fun. Let's see what you can do!

And because it's the There She Goes birthday month, we have a twist put on all of our challenges this month!

Here's how it works:

TSG Challenges with a twist: This month the Trendsetters have picked out some great challenges for you! The catch? The card has to be a birthday theme! Each week, one random challenge participant will win their choice of any mini stamp set available on the TSG Website!

To be eligible for the giveaway, you are to create a card using this sketch challenge, then come back to the TSG Blog to add your name and a link to your project in the InLinkz that is located at the bottom of this challenge post. This challenge is open until the winner has been announced on the following Monday (September 20th). The winner will get a $5 gift certificate to use in the TSG Web store!

By participating in this challenge, you may also find yourself in the Trendsetting Spotlight that shines on the TSG Blog every Thursday. We will be on the look out to find challenge cards that stand out and show Trendsetting qualities. TSG stamps are not required to participate in the challenges but are appreciated :)

You do not need to have a blog to be able to participate in the TSG Challenges! You can simply add the URL link from your project after it has been uploaded to your online craft gallery. If you upload your card to an online craft gallery, please use the keyword TSG73 so we can check out your beautiful work!


Need some inspiration to help you get started? Check out these great cards made by the following Trendsetters!
