Christmas Cards with Verve


A quick post from this absent blogger today. There has been a lot of running around and a fabulous week of crafting in my studio and last week I missed getting a few cards out to you.

I created a card class using some Verve oldies, but goodies for a local store and with the rush to get them to class I forgot to snap some singles of the cards. So here's one of the cards to talk about and then a photo-edited image of all the cards together.

The card uses the Christmas Blessings Plain Jane sentiment and the Merry and Bright Stamp Set with pattern paper from City Sidewalks paper pack by Pink Paislee, Colromates Deep Belgium Blue and Neenah Sundance Balsa papers. The tag is something I designed with my Pazzles as well and is tied with Cream Seam Binding ribbon, Natural Hemp Twine. The sentiment was stamped on a journaling card by We R Memory Keepers Grids. The bling is this great resin rhinestone that is easily cut with scissors or even your Crop-a-Dile.

One of the nicest ever things about these cards is that the shapes and layers were almost all cut out using my Pazzles machine? For the blue snowflake card above, I did create that scalloped shape on my Pazzles software and while I was doing up a bunch of them for the class, I realized all these shapes could be cut with my machine. What a time saver!

I'm going to give you a little plug here, go check out the Pazzles machine. I love the community and the support is wonderful! Take this link and I get a to know you found your new cutting machine here!


The class was such a great class we are doing it again in December! Go to Inspiration Boutique's calendar to sign up!

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...
