The time we've all been waiting for has finally come! We're getting ready for a HUGE release with Verve on August 24th! We have so many stamps/dies releasing, that we'll be sneak peeking for a few days! We have SO much we want to share with you:)
Welcome to our Anni-VERVE-sary Spotlight Hops! As many of you know, Verve is celebrating its 5th anniversary this month and the party is just getting started! Come join us over the next 9 days as we showcase the 23 new stamps and dies releasing from Verve! We'll be counting down the minutes and revealing all the new sets in our forum from 9-11pm Eastern on Friday, August 24, so make plans now to join us for our release party!
I have a couple cards to share with you today using today's featured stamps so lets get to it!
First up is this fun little banner card using a sentiment from With Love and the new Pennant Trim die!
When Julee told us she was releasing trim dies, I wanted to SWOON! And she's really got a couple fun ones to start the collection:) You can see I've used the trim die behind the gray striped paper. I also used my Ribbon Banner die to create all the banners. See THIS post on the Verve blog to see how I create smaller banners using the one banner die. I used this weeks I Spy Sketch for the layout!
Next up is a card I made using the new Birthday to You Plain Jane. I love the size of this sentiment, big and bold!
I stamped the sentiment on a circle die cut and then outlined it with a black Copic. I like to do this when I don't want the added weight of an actual mat layer. I like how this looks better! I don't know where I got this color combo, either. I just kept grabbing papers and putting them together, haha!
I used the Pennant Trim die again, can you tell I love it?:) Oh, and the Ribbon Banner die too, lol...I told you, I can't stay away from banners *sigh*
I used this week's Deconstructed Sketch layout for this card.
Come play along with us HERE on the Deconstructed Sketch blog!

Fantastic cards. ;-) Love the colors on both of them, and I am loving the banner trim die-cuts - looks like such fun! Thanks for the tutorial on cutting the banners, too. Very helpful. ;-)
Two gorgeous cards! But I really like that first one: the color combo, how well the sentiment fits with the theme of the card and the fact that you used the banner die to go up instead of down. Love it!
Love both of them but, the top one with the little banners going up, colors, and sentiment is my FAV!!!
Love that new Birthday PJ! Great cards!
Your cards are swoon worthy! Wowww!
Love the use of two sizes of banners. The banner die cut trim is going to be so much fun.
