July Diva Inspirations Hop!

Welcome to the July Diva Inspirations Blog Hop! Our Diva Inspirations team and several special guests from the Release team are here to start your month off right with a little Verve inspiration! Take a little peek at each of the fabulous blogs below for some Verve-alicious eye candy and you just might win some Vervey goodness of your very own!

I decided to mix this week's Viva la Verve! sketch challenge with a couple stamp sets that haven't seen ink in awhile:) In case you haven't seen the new VLV July Week 1 sketch yet, here it is--

I think square cards are my favorite, mostly because I love the symmetry. They're so fun! I really like this sketch and think you will to. It's perfect for using those smaller stamps, or maybe even some flowers, or just squares of patterned paper. Lots of ideas, so I hope you play with us this week:)

Here's my card using the sketch and our July Stamp of the Month, Carpe Cupcake!

I stamped all the cupcakes on the punched squares, and then stamped them again on random patterns from MME's Happy Go Lucky paper pad. I colored the cupcake bottoms with my Copics and then paper-pieced the tops. The sentiment is from Birthday Bash, another really fun birthday set with lots of fun stamps.

Now it's time to hop on along to the BRILLIANT Amy's blog! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
