Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hops

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.

Today we are sharing sneak peeks using Coffee (illustrated by Chaitali Narla), Coffee Word Die, Cuppa Joe Die Set!!

Keep Calm and Drink Coffee by Jen ShultsThe card I made today is for the teacher I am mentoring this year. (Can I just stop for a minute to say WHOA! How is it possible that time has flown so fast that now I am mentoring brand new teachers – holy cow!) This is her first year teaching and she is absolutely wonderful AND a big coffee drinker so this stamp and die combo immediately reminded me of her.  I used all three of the featured products today, the Coffee stamp set and matching Cuppa Joe die set and the Coffee word die. All of them coordinate perfectly!

Card Details:
Stamps: Coffee (Verve)
Paper: Bitter Chocolate (Bazzill), White (PTI), Garden Party (Pebbles), Kraft (MFT)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic markers
Accessories: Coffee Word Die (Verve), Cuppa Joe Die Set (Verve), Rounded Rectangle Die (Verve), twine thread (may arts), foam squares (scrapbook adhesives)
