Lots and Lots of Verve-a-licious Stuff To Share…
May 15th, 2008 by Jen
Quick note…Yesterday, a couple of you asked if I let my brads show on the inside of the card. Yep, sure do. I know that some people cringe at the thought, but there is no way that I take that long on the outside and then want to move to the inside to do more tedious work. Remember, work smarter, not harder. AND…if the person that you are giving it to doesn’t like it that way, then they probably don’t deserve a handmade card. How’s that for a dose of the truth?
Tomorrow Verve Visual is releasing FOUR new sets and I am in love with all of them! Yes, seriously! I’ve been playing with them non-stop for the past week so that I would have a ton of samples to show you. I’m gonna have to apologize now for the quality of some of the pics. Our natural lighting situation has been a little stormy here, so I have had to seek alternative means of sunshine. Catch what I am sayin’? I’m saying all this as Tony is rearranging, or should I say re-rearranging our garage so he can put his car back in his spot in case of hail {or tornadoes…EEK!}. We had to do a little, um, ahem, how to you say…”shifting” to get to some stuff this past weekend.
If you are interested in winning any of the new sets, and seeing more samples, be sure to check out the Verve Blog <--click to go there.
Here are all my samples...
First, a coordinating gift set. The bottle is from the Target $1 Spot and I filled it with bath salts...
Detail of the tag…
Just the card…
The rest are “just” cards. I really wish that I had more time to come up with clever boxes and bags, but I just ran out of time. I’ll be thinking about something for next week’s ABC Friday, tho!…
The filigree on this one is embossed with clear EP. It looks so elegant in real life.
Playing around with the Filigree Fantasy set some more. I really like how these all can go together to make a tapestry type look.
Can you say teacher gifts!?! This is the set that I have featured on the Verve Blog today, along with stuff from Carole and Susan…
I love the elegance of this set. Even though it is not clearly represented here, there are SO MANY possibilities with this set. I love how quick this came together, yet still packs a punch. Don’t forget to check out the Verve Gallery tomorrow for more AWESOME stuff from the Verve-alicious DT….
See you tomorrow for ABC Friday. I have a new Glue project to share with you.
Gorgeous….every single one of them! I {heart} your work, and I adore the new Verve designs!

These cards are so pretty. I’m excited for this Verve release, but I’m sure my DH is not!!!

I totally agree with you on the brads showing… I don’t worry about that either. It is handmade afterall!
Love love love those butterfly cards… where is that paper from??
Wow! Jen every one of these is just dripping with mojo! I am just drooling over the top gift set, though. That stitching on the card makes me almost wish I wasn’t too lazy to rethread my sewing machine! LOL! Fantastic work, girlie! I love them all!
All of these are FABULOUS Jen! Outstanding work on these new stamps…I can’t wait to order them!!

I was so on the fence about two of the sets, but your amazing card just convinced me to get them all - thanks for the inspiration and for enabling!
WOWZA! These are all fabulous and stunning in their own right, but together - I am in awe!!! Love it all! BTW- thanks for visiting my blog!
