Verve in July with mixed media


Happy July everyone! I ended up having the whole week off from my craft room. Most of that time was spent enjoying my family home on stay-cation and a little bit of time flat out on my back with muscle and hip problems. Doesn't something always seem to come up that messes with your vacation? Well, I'm back on my feet and designing again. Yay!

Today's card is for a couple of my favorite challenge on Splitcoaststampers. The Mix-ability challenge and Viva La Verve! Please feel free to join these challenges they are easy and you can do them anytime. Note that if you feel like a chance at winning some shiny new Verve then there is a deadline on the Viva La Verve challenges for all of July's sketches.


My card starts with the versatile sketch by Diva Charmaine. I used the Verve set Take Note from the latest release on cream cardstock to make the envelope and sentiments pinned on cork. It works to change the note by carefully sliding out the dress pin and rearrange the sentiments. Clever isn't it.
The inspiration is from the Mix-Ability hostess Tiffany. I used paper, gesso on the vintage desk top day calendar paper, cork and sequins!

There are a few exciting sales going on with Verve Stamps right now. Here they are if you want to get in on some savings for July.

    Thanks, Christine. The sentiment idea was a happy accident. Love it when those happen.

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
