Verve Holiday Spotlight Hop~ Day 4


Welcome to our final Holiday Spotlight Hop!  Last night we released 2 new stamp sets, 5 plain janes and 6 dies to coordinate with new and old Verve holiday sets!  All of the new products we've been showcasing this week are available now in the Verve store! Be sure to leave a little comment love as you take one last stroll through the Diva and Guest Diva blogs. One lucky commenter from today's hop will win the ENTIRE Release! Check out the Verve Blog today for all the prize details and deadlines.  

I'm not sure which stamp set is my favorite from last night's release, they are all fabulous, but I sure had fun playing with the new Cut Above dies. I think maybe it is because they coordinate with both old and new stamp sets (genius I tell you!). When I received the Frosty Flakes dies, I also purchased the Christmas in the Air set that coordinates with it! I used the die and stamp set to create this card. I chose to die cut the snowflakes first and then stamp them. It's so easy to line them up since the stamps are clear but it is also easy to stamp them first and then die cut them using the guides that are included with the dies. I added some tiny rhinestones to the snowflake centers and some fancy stick pins to the bow all for sparkle! Thanks so very much for coming on this wonderful Verve journey with me and now stop and see what the rest of the Divas have created!
