Christmas Joy! Verve Blog Hop

Brand new Verve releases today and we're celebrating with a blog hop!  Hop along to each of the blogs below to see a little inspiration with the new stamps, then be sure to head on over to the Verve Store to check out Verve's Thanksgiving Sale (25% off all stamps & dies) that starts today! You should have come here from Julee's blog! If you haven't, it's not too late to turn around and head over there so you don't miss a THING!

We're release an adorable new mini set called Christmas Joy today, as well as a compilation of our beautiful Plain Jane scriptures. I've got a card to share today using Christmas Joy

I colored the little bird up and then cut him out. If you see little gray dots, he doesn't have chicken pox! I had planned this card a whole other way and had him in a snowy landscape, but it didn't work out, so I cut him out:) I created little snowy hills by tearing cardstock and then glittering the edges.

The ribbon is also from Verve, from the Stormy Skies collection.

Thanks for coming by to visit today! Your next stop is Andrea! Head on over and leave her some love!

Want to win some shiny new Verve? We'll be picking a random commenter on one of the hop spots below to win a $75 gift certifcate to Verve! Comment deadline for the prize drawing is Sunday, December 1.

Count on You

Hi there! I have a quick card to share this morning. I had all weekend to get crafty and had no commitments so it was fun to just stamp for no good reason! :)

I'm kinda tired of fall colors on my cards already so I had to go back to some pastels:) I stamped the polka dots from Whole Lotta Dots and embossed them in white on the background. I cut out a Sweet Treat Tent die and cut off the bottom with some pinking shears and cut a heart out of the middle. After cutting the heart, I added a piece of kraft cardstock behind the negative. 

The "friend..." from our alpha set Lighthearted Letters and the sentiments are from Count your Rainbows.

I also stamped the chevron from Arrows n' Elements in pink ink and cut them out and added them as well. Some buttons, twine, and sequins round this card out!

Reverse Confetti November Color Challenge!

Hey there! I have an exciting post for you today...

A BRAND NEW COLOR CHALLENGE!

Over at Reverse Confetti, we are so excited to bring you our very first color challenge today.  First, let’s go over some details…

• There will be a new Color Challenge posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 16th of each month.

• The color link list will be open from the 16th until noon CST on the 29th. The color challenge will be posted in the sidebar and you will be able to click on it to get to that month’s challenge post with the link list during this time.

• Just like the Sketch For You To Try, we are allowing “anything goes” until the end of the year. Note, that we will be adding the Reverse Confetti stamps only in January.

• You may enter as many times as you wish.

• There will be a winner each month and that person will receive a $20 gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti store and claim the title of ‘Fetti Fave. The winner of Color Challenge will be posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 30th of each month.

Now that you are in the know about the color challenge, here are November’s colors…

Here's my card using some new goodies from the November Release!

I wanted to play around with the new Be a Barista stamp set! Isn't this stamp set so much fun? It's unlike any other coffee stamp set out there, I love the fillable coffee cup, you can add whatever fun filling you want;)

I added some glossy accents to the latte to make it a little more realistic, when my husband saw it he was pretty amazed, lol! 

Along with the Be a Barista stamp set, I used a stripe stamp from So Stripey, and the tags from the Tag Me die set. 

********************************

Thanks so much for stopping by today, hope you enjoy your weekend!

Bring on the Merry!

Hello there! I have a quick card to share with some new Reverse Confetti stamps and this month's SFYTT!

The sentiment is from the adorable "Bring on the Merry" stamp set, and the little border stamp under "merry" is from Tinsel n' Trim!

Here's this month's sketch, there is still time to play!

Visit the RC blog for details on how you can still play along!

I used the new Sweet Treat Tent die for my card base. I cut two of them out of chocolate cardstock and then sewed them together to form the card base.

The sentiment on the card front was stamped on the flag from Tag Me...

And on the inside, I stamped some stripes from So Stripey, and the rest of the sentiment on a tag from Tag Me!

The three triangles are from Tinsel and Trim, a fun little addition, I thought:)
