Verve Sneak Peeks…

Posted by Jen | Verve, cards | Monday, August 16, 2010

Have you been checking out all the new Verve Sneak Peeks? We’re doing it a little different this month, so listen up! ;) Instead of having a handful of cards on the Verve blog, the Divas are hosting their own sneak peeks on their blogs. Of course there are prizes to go along with this, so be sure to leave a little love {a comment} on all of the sneak peek posts as those prizes are hidden along the way.

Today we are showing you two of the new sets: Birthday Bash and Carpe Cupcake. Both are such fun sets and I have had a blast working with them!

Here’s a list of the Divas and Guest Divas who are showing you some of the fabulosity of these two sets…

1. Me {you know this!}
2. Julee
3. Michelle
4. Sony
5. Jackie
6. Teresa
7. Maureen
8. Jen T.
9. Amber
10. Tosh

Here’s my sample using Carpe Cupcake, with the “Birthday Girl” sentiment from Birthday Bash! I love the size of the “Seize The Cupcake” sentiment and I used it to create my own pattern paper that acts as a backsplash to the cupcake…

Here’s a peek at the cutie patootie Birthday Bash set…
balloons

These balloons are great to both color and paper piece. I went ahead and paper pieced these and then topped them with Diamond Glaze. The stars are topped off with Diamond Stickles…

    I am so glad to hear that the Seize the Cupcake is a sentiment….when I looked at your card I was thinking…is that paper or did she stamp that…I was so hoping that it was stamped and as I read through your post I did the happy dance!! Great card showcasing this new set….can’t wait!!
