January Verve Diva Inspirations Hop…
Hi Stampy Friends! It’s time for another VERVE DIVA INSPIRATION HOP! We’ve switched things up just a little. Last year we hopped on the 1st of each month, but this year we are moving it to the 5th of each month. That darn 1st of the month just sneaked up on us too quickly!
Like I mentioned above, this is a HOP! If you didn’t come here from Jackie’s blog, take a moment to rewind to the start of the hop HERE on Betty’s blog, where there is also a full list of today’s hoppers!
Back in October and November, I made some 3D pumpkin and ornament tags using a circle punch along with stamps and dies from Verve. I have had a blast making those tags, so I thought why not do some in a Valentine theme!?! Instead of circle punches, I used the Jotted Heart Die as my 3D element…
THE HOW TO:
Each 3D heart is created from four die cut hearts. Since the shape is not symmetrical and I wanted each heart cut from the same pattern paper, I cut 2 from one side of the pattern paper then flipped the paper over and cut another 2. Of course, you can make them with different pattern on each heart, which would be lots of fun for school or wedding colors, etc. Then score each one down the center and adhere the reverse sides to each other.
Detail of the lace ribbon, tulle and button combo on each. I used different thread/cording/twine on each one. This one shows my favorite of all time Linen Thread…
Tag #1, using stamped hearts from the Love Notes set {stamped on all the tags} and a sentiment from the Happy Phrases set…
Tag #2, stamped with the same hearts and a sentiment from the Love Notes set…
And finally, tag #3 with a sentiment from the Heart’s Desire set…
Verve is releasing some fun new stamps and dies on January 13th. Once you see those, I bet you can guess what my next 3D tag set will be!
Now, it’s time for you to keep on hop, hop, hopping along to Jen Tapler’s blog where she has some more great Verve inspiration for you!
