Welcome to our January 2012 After Party Hop! Last night we released 3 new stamp sets, 4 plain janes and 4 dies! All of the new products we've been showcasing this week are available now in the Verve store! Be sure to leave a little comment love as you take a stroll through the Diva blogs. One lucky commenter from today's hop will win the ENTIRE Release! Check out the Verve Blog today for all the prize details and deadlines.
I adore Verve's Plain Janes, and this Happy Valentine's Day one is no exception! Because of the lovely script and size, I chose to make this the focal point of my card. I added embellishments around it, but wanted to make sure that the sentiment still was the star of the show. :-) To do that, I matted the oval sentiment layer on a red label cut out with the Curvy Bookplate Die (Verve) and then layered that on a label that was included with my patterned paper pad.
There is SO much inspiration in store for you! Check out what the Divas have created...
