Welcome to Verve's July Release Spotlight Hops! A new release is just around the corner and for the next few days we'll be shining our creative spotlights on the new Verve sets and dies releasing Monday, July 10.
Today the Divas and special guests (I'm honored to be one of three guests!) are sharing inspiration featuring the new Always Time stamp set and coordinating Kettle Time Die Set. Check out the Verve Blog post today for the full hop list, prize details, reveals and a little more on this fun new set.
This short and sweet sentiment immediately caught my eye - as did the gorgeous fonts on all of the sentiments! Isn't that just such a fun take off on the common phrase "Let's do this!"?! I smooshed and stenciled some Twisted Citron and Peacock Feathers distress inks on the background then white embossed and die cut the coffee pot and cup from Perfectly Plaid Rainbow 12x12 paper by Lawn Fawn. I love having matching dies to go with the images to avoid having to fussy cut!
My second card sample came about when I saw the word 'time'. I'm a lover of puns, so I was on a mission to find something with clocks on patterned paper. I just might have a few pads of paper in my craft room - lol! If you look closely, the pattern is of multiple vintage clockworks and then to continue in a vintage theme, I distressed and sponged all the edges! I used some Tim Holtz tiles to spell out coffee.
Hopefully you hopped here after visiting Sheri's blog (you can see the full hop list below). If you missed the beginning, you'll want to head over to the Verve blog where Julee will get you started. Your next step from here will be Charmaine who will wow you with her creativity!
