Verve October Release Day Hop!!

It’s finally here! Release day for the new Verve stamps for October and you know what that means, one last hop with BIG prizes!!

Merry Christmas by Jen Shults, Stamps by Verve Stamps

My card today uses Holiday Treats and is nice and bright and festive. I used this week’s Mojo Monday sketch, Mojo316 as a starting point along with a bit of paper from Doodle Bug’s Home for the Holiday’s 6×6 paper pad. The background is embossed with a new embossing folder I picked up at Michael’s by Lifestyle Crafts called Chain. I used Circle Nestabilites and Square Nestabilites for the circle and square panels. The ribbon is a bit of scrap ribbon I had sitting around. The sentiment is stamped in Bamboo Leaves by Memento. The little flag at the bottom is die cut using the Flag It Die Set.

Card Details:
Stamps: Holiday Treats (Verve)
Paper: Home For the Holidays (Doodlebug), Red, Green (Neenah), White (PTI)
Ink: Memento Bamboo Leaves
Accessories: Square Dies (Spellbinders), Circle Dies (Spellbinders), Flag It Dies (Verve), Embossing Folder, Spinkles (Doodlebug), ribbon, button, glue dots, foam tape, Quick Dry Adhesive (3M)
