Welcome to our Anni-VERVE-sary 2014 Spotlight Hops! This month Verve is celebrating 7 wonderful years and our release is filled with all sorts of treats! All week long the Divas will be spotlighting new stamps and dies and each day there’s a chance to win a $50 gift code to Verve just for commenting on our posts! So tune in each day for a new spotlight and a fresh chance to win. Everything previewed this week will be available for purchase in the Verve online store on Saturday 8/30 -That’s TODAY!
Today we are sharing sneak peeks using Small Packages (illustrated by Julee Tilman), Cupcake Frame Die Set.
Today I’m using Small Packages from Verve to make a his and hers set of birthday cards. I was recently asked to make a stash of birthday and general use cards by a close friend and these two cards are going in that stash. I just LOVE this Small Packages Stamp set…. the sentiments are just adorable and I love the variety of cupcakes in the set.
The layout from my card is from Mojo360.
Each card features the same cardstock with the exception of one color. I used a bright pink cardstock for her card and a bit of rusty orange for his card. I distressed his card with a Prima distress tool and used a few of the sequins from the new Verve Signature Sequin Mix for her card.
Supplies:
Stamps: Small Packages (Verve)
Inks: Blu Raspberry, Tangy Orange, Razzleberry (MFT Dye Ink), Tuxedo Black (Memento), Copic Markers
Cardstock: Kraft, Blue Raspberry, Tangy Orange, Green Apple, Razzleberry (MFT), White (PTI)
Accessories: Seeing Spots Embossing Folder (Cuttlebug), ZigZag Embossing Folder, Twine (May Arts), foam squares (Scrapbook Adhesives), Quick Dry Adhesive (3M), Signature Sequin Mix (Verve), distress tool (Prima)
