Day 6 PRIZE: $50 Gift Code to the Verve Store
Comment Deadline:  Saturday, August 30 @ 5PM Mountain

1. Julee 8. Maureen 2. Teresa 9. Laurie 3. Amber 10. Janelle 4. Charmaine 11. Christyne 5. Marisa 12. Jen 6. Monika {Guest} 13. Andrea 7. Stacey

Today's set reveal is a set illustrated by Julee Tilman.  

The concept for Small Packages came from a personal need in my stamping collection.  First off, a stamp that says from all of us.  Since we went from 2 to 4 in our family, I'm often signing birthday cards from all of us and I thought it would be nice to have a stamp that said that.  I'm also usually quite behind on the actual sending of the cards, so I needed a belated birthday stamp as well.  Then I threw in some sketched cupcakes and a fun frame that will work with most of the sentiments in this release and a few other themed sentiments to finish things off.  Small Packages will retail for $18 and includes 11 clear photopolymer stamps on a 4" x 8" acetate sheet.

There's also a coordinating die set available!

The Cupcake Frame Die Set coordinates with the frame, small cupcake and flag images in Small Packages.  It is sold separately and retails for $9.

Thanks so much for hopping with us this week!  Have a great Labor Day Weekend!

Day 3 PRIZE: $50 Gift Code to the Verve Store
Comment Deadline:  Saturday, August 30 @ 5PM Mountain

1. Julee 8. Stacey 2. Teresa 9. Maureen 3. Chaitali 10. Laurie 4. Amber 11. Janelle 5. Charmaine 12. Christyne 6. Marisa 13. Jen 7. Monika {Guest} 14. Andrea

Today's set reveal is a set illustrated by Julee Tilman.  

When I saw the concept for Chaitali's Coffee set, I knew that I wanted to release a tea set at the same time. I've been collecting tea related sentiments, so started out illustrating a few whimsical cups and designing some of those sentiments.  Once I finished I liked the font treatment so much that we decided to use it for Chaitali's One Word series as well.  Such a fun whimsical, yet classy look.

One Cup is a fun tea themed set illustrated by Julee Tilman.  It contains some completed tea phrases as well as some that can be combined with the word tea (or coffee if you want to mix it with the new Coffee set or word die). We've got single cups with separate tea bags and stacking cups as well.  One Cup will retail for $18 and includes 15 clear photopolymer stamps on a 4" x 8" acetate sheet.

There's also a coordinating die set available!

The Cuppa Tea Die Set coordinates with the cup images in One Cup.
It is sold separately and retails for $13.

Also in the spotlight is a scripture plain jane that's perfect for our treat themed release.. Psalm 34:8

Psalm 34:8 is a single stamp in our Plain Jane line and will retail for $3.

All of the products featured this week will be available for purchase in the Verve Store on Saturday, August 30.

Thanks so much for hopping with us today!  Have a great day and we'll see you back here tomorrow for some more fresh new looks at VERVE!

Today's set reveal is another in the One Word series from illustrator, Chaitali Narla.  

Coffee is a fun coffee themed set illustrated by Chaitali Narla.  Along with classic coffee mugs, steam, spoon and coffee bean imagery, this set has several witty sentiments that end with the word coffee, which can be stamped in three different fonts to fit your style. Even better, there's more of this One Word line of stamps in store, which interchange wonderfully to give you tons of possibilities.  Coffee will retail for $18 and includes 14 clear photopolymer stamps on a 4" x 8" acetate sheet.

We've also got two dies that coordinate with this set!

The Cuppa Joe Die Set coordinates with the coffee mug stamps in Coffee.
It is sold separately and retails for $9.

The Coffee Word Die is a standalone die that retails for $6.  Although the sentiment with the same font in our Coffee set is much smaller (about an inch smaller than the word die), this die complements this set and all of our other coffee themed sets beautifully.

All of the products featured this week will be available for purchase in the Verve Store on Saturday, August 30.

Hopping along with us this week is a super talented Guest Diva!  I've been watching Monika work magic with stamps for several years now and am ecstatic to have her as our guest this  month.  Here's a little bit about her in her own words...

Monika Davis blogs at M.A.D. Stamper.  Image Credits: {Card 1}, {Card 2}

Hi, my name is Monika Davis aka buzsy. I live in beautiful New Hampshire with my two boys and supportive hubby. I work part time in the after-school program at my sons' school. I was born and raised in Hungary, but have been living in the US for 18 years. I’ve been stamping on and off for about 13 years. It’s my passion, my hobby, and my lifestyle! Through crafting I’ve made so many wonderful friends. It is a caring community with so much love and positive energy. I’ve been on a number of design and challenge teams, and have been published in a number of magazines. I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the Verve Stamps team! 

Okay, now that you know the who... it's time for the what. 
Today's set reveal is the first in a One Word series from illustrator, Chaitali Narla.  

Cupcakes is a build-a-cupcake set illustrated by Chaitali Narla.  Along with builder pieces for super fun cupcakes, this set has several witty sentiments that begin or end with the word cupcakes.  Even better, there's more of this One Word line of stamps in store, which interchange wonderfully to give you tons of possibilities.  Cupcakes will retail for $18 and includes 20 clear photopolymer stamps on a 4" x 8" acetate sheet.

We've also got a fun new sequin mix releasing!
It's shiny and bright and filled with Vervey goodness in turquoise, brown, silver and white!
