July 2014 Diva Dare - Day 12

Hello, it's Janelle today with the wrap up of inspiration for this month's Diva Dare.

Inside Out - July Diva Dare

This month we're daring you to create a stamped card and continue the design on the inside for a special surprise for the recipient.  Simply carry over some portion of the card front design on to the inside of your card.   

Here's my take on the challenge...

I started out with Maureen's July Viva La Verve sketch and then had some fun with maybe a few too many embellishments. The sentiment and sprigs on the tags and a cut out flower are from the Happy Place Stamp Set wrapped in a dreamy seam binding ribbon from the Summer Sailing Ribbon Collection. 

The inside takes some of the thinner embellishments from the front of the card and same skewed placement with a simple statement from the Button Best set from the May 2014 release.

Have fun with the challenge this month because now,

it's YOUR turn!

July 2014 Diva Dare - Day 11

Hi there Verve fans!  It's Charmaine bringing you day 11 of the July Diva Dare!

Inside Out - July Diva Dare

This month we're daring you to create a stamped card and continue the design on the inside for a special surprise for the recipient.  Simply carry over some portion of the card front design on to the inside of your card. 

I used the Happy Place set for my card along with papers from the Lost & Found Record It Collection from My Mind's Eye.  The ribbon is from the Signature Ribbon Collection.

I die cut the flowers using the coordinating Happy Doodles Die Set.  I colored the flowers and added some bling to the centers.  

I carried the design into the inside of the card by stamping a single flower and the word "smile" next to it, leaving lots of space at the top to write inside the card.  

Now it's YOUR turn!

July 2014 Diva Dare - Day 10

Hi there Verve fans!  Laurie here, bringing you day 10 of the July Diva Dare!

Inside Out - July Diva Dare

This month we're daring you to create a stamped card and continue the design on the inside for a special surprise for the recipient.  Simply carry over some portion of the card front design on to the inside of your card.   

Here's what I came up with...

 

For the front, I stamped several of the medallion images from the Peaceful Medallions set, and then used my circle punches to punch them out.  It's hard to see in this photo, but I stamped the leafy image from the  Happy Place set all over the dark gray background paper.  For embellishment, I added some seam binding (from the Signature Ribbon Collection) and a couple of wooden hearts.

For the inside, I added a strip of coordinating patterned paper (from the same patterned paper pad), and couple more punched out medallions.  For the sentiment, I stamped the 2 Corinthians 12:9 Plain Jane using dark gray ink.

Now it's YOUR turn!

July 2014 Diva Dare - Day 9

Inside Out - July Diva Dare

Welcome to July's Diva Dare!  It's Andrea with you today on this 9th day of fabulous inspiration from the Divas! This month's dare is entitled Inside Out.    

This month we're daring you to create a stamped card and continue the design on the inside for a special surprise for the recipient.  Simply carry over some portion of the card front design on to the inside of your card.   I'm ashamed to say that I very rarely decorate the inside of my card (though I do stamp the envelope!) so this challenge was a good excuse for me to practice! Here's my attempt at coordinating the inside (P.S. Don't close the card until your liquid pearls are dry...don't ask me how I know :)

I'm loving these new Verve floral stamps, designed by Julee. I stamped the flowers from Verve's Happy Place set onto a piece of Natural White cardstock and cut out the shape with the coordinating Happy Doodles die set. I colored in the image using Copics. I added some Raspberry Liquid Pearls to the tops of the flowers and also to the butterfly stamped on the inside of the card. I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch for my design. All edges are distressed and I added a variety of lace, Organdy and daisy chain ribbon as well as twine to the top. The banners are cut out with Verve's Banner Bundle set.

July 2014 Diva Dare ~ Day 8

Hello there, lovelies! Amber here with Day 8 of the Diva Dare challenge...hope your week is going well so far, half way to the weekend, WOOP WOOP!

Inside Out - July Diva Dare

This month we're daring you to create a stamped card and continue the design on the inside for a special surprise for the recipient.  

**Simply carry over some portion of the card front design on to the inside of your card. **

I wanted to do something a little different with my card, and let you SEE the inside FROM the outside! 

I got a piece of clear cardstock and created the card base, and then found the patterned paper that I wanted to put on the inside. The papers are from BG's Grand Bazaar (I love this paper!). Next, I cut the turquouise frame and glued it on to the card front, and sewed the corner. I pulled out my beloved Peaceful Medallions stamp set. I cut several of a few different sized circles and then stamped some fun medallions. The big one in the back is embossed in gold, super shiny IRL! The flower is from Happy Place and cut out with one of the dies from Happy Doodles. The sentiment is from Happy Place, and was stamped on a banner cut out with the Scroll die. I used the coordinating scroll stamp from Die Sidekicks for that banner. Here are a couple detail shots...

July 2014 Diva Dare - Day 7

Good morning Verve fans, it is Maureen bringing you Day 7 of the July 2014 Diva Dare!

Inside Out - July Diva Dare

This month we're daring you to create a stamped card and continue the design on the inside for a special surprise for the recipient.  Simply carry over some portion of the card front design on to the inside of your card. 

 

 I need some sympathy cards in my stash so I thought I'd make one with some new and old sentiments.  I created a medallion from Peaceful Medallions to act as a frame for the sentiment from  Moments Remembered.  Then I stamped and fussy cut the feather images from this same set and tucked them behind the sentiment that I punched out with a 1 3/8" circle punch. I used some ivory ribbon from the Signature Ribbon Collection to add some softness and some black and  Shine Bright Sequin Mix to finish off the front of the card.  Now, I don't usually stamp or decorate the insides of my cards because I like to use all that space to write! LOL  So this was a good challenge for me.  I decided to use two sentiments from Forever in our Hearts because I liked the way "Forever in our Hearts" went with the "Forever in my Thoughts" on the front.  The same pattern paper and some black stitching help tie the front to the inside.

July 2014 Diva Dare - Day 5

Hey, Verve fans...Stacey here! Welcome to Day 5 of the July 2014 Diva Dare!

Inside Out - July Diva Dare

This month we're daring you to create a stamped card and continue the design on the inside for a special surprise for the recipient.  Simply carry over some portion of the card front design on to the inside of your card. 

Here is the outside of my card...

Aren't those feathers from the new Moments Remembered stamp set the most GORGEOUS things you've ever seen?!

After stamping and fussy cutting two of those beautiful feathers, I paired them up with a coordinating sentiment from the same stamp set.  There is a peek of Flag It Die Set under the fancy Signature Ribbon Collection bow and several Shine Bright Sequin Mix sprinkles scattered here and there.

  

Here's a snapshot of the the inside...

I kept it simple here with a second sentiment and smaller feather from Moments Remembered.
