Verve Stamps - May New Release Spotlight Hop

Welcome to Verve's May Spotlight Hops! 

A new release is just around the corner and for the next couple of days we'll be shining our creative spotlights on the new Verve sets and dies releasing this Friday, May 20.

Today we're sharing our first projects featuring the Beautiful Things stamp set, Beautiful Flowers Die Set and the Stitched Pennants Die Set.

You should have arrived here by way of the fabulous Maureen.  If not, start at the beginning of today's hop!  

These new stamps and dies are seriously GORGEOUS!  

I'm in LOVE with those blooming floral images, the ever-so-sweet tiny leaf sprays, the pennants and scripted word!!! 

 

After stamping and die-cutting the flowers, I nestled them together with some of the leaves and the "beautiful" word, then added a partial pennant to the upper left corner, and stamped one of the beautiful sentiments in the bottom left corner.  To finish off the card, I added a few clear sequins for movement and more sparkle.

SugarPea Designs - Picnic

Hello, SugarPea Designs fans!

I whipped up this sweet card for a friend using some adorable SugarPea Designs stamps and SugarCuts.

I stamped the girl and her teddy friend from the Teddy Bear Picnic stamp set and fussy cut them to become the focal point on the card front.  The Homescape became a playful background and there's a pop of color with the red polka dot Zig Zag Stitched Circle.  The sentiment from Teddy Bear Picnic has such a fun double font...too cute!

Stop in over at the SugarPea Designs Blog for more inspiration from the SugarChics!

Now, that is one FANTASTIC line-up of new VERVE, yes?!  

The delicate Butterfly Dreams Die Set, the beautiful Sparkly Dreams stamp set and that must-have Flourished Tag Die Set were begging for me to show them off again this week!

After die cutting the tag, circle, flourish and butterfly, I layered it all together in contrasting and happy colored patterns and displayed the "dream big" sentiment on the tag.  To finish off the card, I added several sequins from Pink Sparkle Sequin Mix and Pastel Sequin Mix.
