Verve’s Better Together Blog Hop

Welcome to Verve’s Better Together Release Hop! There’s a brand new Verve set releasing today and we’re celebrating with a blog hop!

Fabulous Birthday by Jen Shults, stamps from Verve Stamps

I am so so excited about this new Verve release! Better Together is such a FANTASTIC stamp set and there isn’t one part of it that I don’t just adore.

To start my project I started with a A2 kraft card base and MME’s Lost and Found Market Street paper pad. I know I’ve been using that a lot lately but I just LOVE it. The layout I chose just sort of worked itself out. It’s not at all where I originally thought this card was gonna go but sometimes you just have to go with the flow and hope it works out! This time really think it did. So in there you’ll find a BUNCH of cuts from the Banner Bundle Die set as well as Goodness Flowers dies and Scalloped Flowers Die set. The flower is accented with leaves from Dream Big die cut with the Dreamy Leaves Dies.
