I am loving these new stamps from Verve! Christmas is my favorite time of year, and these sets are my favorite seasonal sets so far! This first card showcases "Holly Jolly". I usually go for non-traditional colors when it comes to color combinations, but I leaned toward a more traditional look for this one. I combined Real Red, Old Olive, and Kraft to create this fun and festive card. How do you like my custom patterned paper on the olive panel? I think I used every stamp in the set to make it! LOL!
This second card focuses on my favorite set from this last release...O Christmas Tree. Another clean and simple card that immediately draws your eye to the watercolored wreath...gotta love those poinsettias! No custom patterned paper, but who needs it with that gorgeous wreath, right? {wink}
That's it for me today! Thanks for stopping by, and I will see you back here tomorrow with another TGF sneak peek. Until then...
