Verve Preview Spotlights Day 2

Hello! This is my 2nd post for today, so if you're looking for my Sparkle Creations previews, please scroll down! Thanks so much:)
New Stamps & Dies coming April 13

So how are you liking the peeks so far? Pretty amazing release right? And it's only getting better, baby! Today we're previewing more fabulous sets and a new and...okay for lack of better word I'll use it again...a new AMAZING die!

First up I have the card I'm planning to give my pops on Father's Day! Using the new Super Dad set and the new Ribbon Banner Die, this card was a breeze!
I had so much fun making this card:) The star paper is from Jillybean Soup and the red polka dot paper is from EP! I created a rosette with MFT's rosette die and then layered the sentiment on top. I stamped two Ribbon Banners and then cut them out along the stamped line an then adhered them to another banner die I cut out with blue cardstock. The stars are from Super Dad as well and I thought they were a fun little detail to add.

Up next is a fun card I made for this week's Deconstructed Sketch!

These papers are from Jillybean Soup's Dutch Mustard collection! I used the new Ribbon Banner Die for the three rectangle panels and created a banner that I strung together with twine and buttons! The sentiment is from Small Celebrations:)

One last card to share, using the new Fringe Flower PJ and Small Celebrations!
I cut out two labels using the Curvy Bookplate die and then stamped the matching bookplate stamp from Tag Time and the sentiments from Small Celebrations and Purely Sentimental. I stamped the Fringe Flower on dp and then cut them out by hand (hand-cutting is very theraputic for me, I can sort of shut my brain off and focus on the lines, lol!) The dp is from MME and I did some distressing, some random sewing, and a couple buttons and brads!

Triple bonus here as we get to see your creativity in showcasing these new sets and dies. The "badge" you created on the first card is wonderful.
