If you've come from visiting Betty, you're in the right place!!  For today's card, I stuck with the Scripture Medley 5 stamp set.  I just love the verses in this set.  I die cut a piece of white cardstock using the Classy Label Die and stamped the sentiment in black ink.  I found some pretty papers in my scrap bin that would create an elegant card and went with that.  As a finishing touch, I added some trim and some sequins.  Thanks for stopping by all week!!  I hope you've been inspired!  Next on today's hop is Marisa!!

If you came from visiting Betty, you're in the right place!!  I LOVE the striking combo of black, red and white, so I used it for this card.  I love the font of this sentiment and thought it would look great framed by some stamped hearts from the set.  Another simple card, but I think that allows for the sentiment to be the focus!  Next to today's hop is Marisa!!

10th Anni-VERVE-sary Spotlight Hops - Day 1

Welcome to our 10th Anni-VERVE-sary Spotlight Hops! Verve is celebrating 10 years of bringing stamps to the world with a release of new and classic Verve! For the next few days we'll be shining our creative spotlights on the new Verve sets and dies that will be releasing Monday, August 28. We hope you'll join us as the design team, special Guest Diva Kelly Lunceford, and some fabulous rockstar alumni Divas share their inspirations with the new goodies this week.

Today's feature is on the Little Ones stamp set and coordinating Little Ones Die Set. A fusion of old and new, this baby themed set brings back some of Verve's most popular plain janes, mixed with a few new designs to tie it all together.

If you've come from visiting Betty, you're in the right place!!  For today's card I decided to go with a fun color combo and use that adorable little chick from the Little Ones set.  I used the VLV Sketch for the month of August as well.  The papers are from my scrap bin and they're all about love!  :)  The chick was colored with Copic markers and die cut using the Little Ones Die Set.  The heart was stamped and die cut as well.  As a finishing touch, I added some Shine Bright Sequins to the card for some sparkle.  Thank you for stopping by!  Next on today's hop is Marisa!!
