PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE TODAY’S ATS WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE CARD!
Hello again, Verve fans! In just a few days Verve Stamps will be releasing a plethora of new stamp sets, and the Divas will be showcasing a new set every day from today until Thursday, August 19th. You can find a list of participating Divas each day at the Verve Blog. These amazing sets will be released on August 20th after our Release Chat at the Verve Forum.
Today we are showcasing two sets; “Happy Hello” and “Kind Words”…I’m using “Happy Hello” for my preview today. This 17-piece stamp boasts of 11 sentiments, circular and square frames, and smaller circular and square accessories. I wanted to keep the layout simple, so I used the Got Sketch #101 challenge from the Got Sketch Blog. I pierced the edges of the large White Cardstock panel using a Mat Pack and Paper Piercer, then stamped the square frame onto several pieces of patterned paper from Stampin’ Up’s Walk In The Park Designer Series Paper pack. Each square was cut and attached to the white panel using Dimensionals. I stamped one of the sentiments twice in Black Ink onto a scrap piece of Coral Cardstock, then added the smaller square images above them. I used the Slit Punch to create scallops on a scrap piece of Black Cardstock, then stitched the scallops across the sentiment panel with white thread. As an embellishment, I created a flower using MFT’s Flower and Leaf Trio Die, then added a White Button with Black Hemp to it using a Mini Glue Dot. After adding a few Rhinestones and tons of Dimensionals the card was complete.
Now let’s see what the other Divas have up their sleeves using this same set:
- Sankari Wegman
- Lynda Benden
- Charmaine Ikach
- Amber Hight
- Jen del Muro
- Maureen Plut (Guest Diva)
- Sony Christoph (Guest Diva)
- Julee Tilman
- Teresa Kline
- Michelle Woerner
- Amy Sheffer
- Jackie Pedro
How would you like to win this set? Be sure to leave a comment back at the Verve Blog each day during the previews. One lucky commenter will be randomly chosen from the official sneak peek posts to win the set(s) being peeked that day. Deadline for comments is 6pm EST Friday, August 20.
That’s it for me today! Thanks for stopping by, and I’ll see you back here tomorrow with another Verve August Preview for Verve Day Thursday! Until then…
