Verve Stamps Release Day!


It's release day at Verve and we're celebrating with Day 4 of our November 2014 Spotlight Hops!  Have you enjoyed the spotlights we've been sharing this week? Well, the wait is over and everthing previewed this week is available in the Verve online store now! And to cap off this release, we're giving away the entire release to one lucky commenter along today's hop, so come along with us as we share one last look-see at our holiday spotlights!

Today's spotlight is on the November 2014 Release Collection, so grab a treat and hop along! If you've been hopping already today then you would have come from Maureen's blog.


It is such a thrill to be sharing with you today for so many reasons, but it's not about me today. It's all about the JUST released Collection of Verve's Holiday Spotlight Hop. YAY!

For my card, I stamped the stable and sentiment on separate pattern paper with Versamark ink and embossed with Detail Black Embossing Powder. The stable was cut out with it's coordinating Starry Stable Die Set and then the stars cut from coordinating paper from the pack.

The bottom half of the card panel was embossed with Chunky White Embossing Enamel and heat set from the back of the panel (no "glue" needed) and then sewn around the edges with black button thread. A ribbon wrapped around the panel and tied in a bow before gluing it down on the card base. It's all glued and popped up from there. Now here's something that you are really going to love...
