Mojo Monday 379 Sketch Challenge

The sketch is based on this card I made a couple week's ago, when I posted my video tutorial on distressing.

September 2014 Diva Dare ~ Day 12

Hello there! Hope your weekend is amazing so far, I know mine is! It's been about 70 degrees and sunny, so amazing! I'm here today with Day 12 of this month's Diva Dare.  This month is all about threes!  Back to school time usually means life is a 3 ring circus, so this month we're daring you to add 3 of something to your card or project. 

I pulled out the Small Packages stamp set for my card and made 3 big ole beautiful cupcakes! First, I pulled out my Tombow markers and swiped some green, pink, and blue ink on watercolor paper. Then I blended the colors out with a wet paintbrush. I heat embossed the three large cupcakes in black on watercolor paper and then colored them with the watercolor markers. The sentiment is from Moments Remembered.

Two ways to win prizes for double the fun!

Win a $40 gift voucher to Verve! Take our Terrific Trios dare and link your card up to be eligible to win.  Entries must have 3 of something on your card or project, be posted 9/12 or later, include at least one Verve product and be linked up to the linky widget by 8pm Mountain on 10/01/14.  One participant will be randomly selected to win the gift voucher.  You can enter as many times as you like, but each card needs to be in a separate post.

September 2014 Diva Dare Day 2

Terrific Trios - September Diva Dare

hi friends, it is Teresa....good morning and welcome to Day 2 of this month's Terrific Trio Diva Dare. YEP, you guessed it, you need to use three of something of your creation.

I used this weeks Mojo Monday sketch, see sketch below. My terrific trio is three sentiments, Julee has the best sentiments and I wanted to show off how you can use more than one on the front of your card! What fun! You can mix and match Verve's sentiments to make separate statements or a sweetly paired sentence. I have used sentiments from the same Verve set, Small Packages. I cannot wait to see what you create...sparkle & shine!

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!
