Hello Verve Fans! I am so excited to kick off the Verve Winter Release Project Parade for you today! The theme of this month's Project Parade is "Triple Play" - where the challenge is to create a terrific trio of yumminess! This can be to create three different things that all coordinate (like a bag, a card and a tag) or to create three different cards or three different cards. There are so many different possibilities for a Verve-a-licious trio of yumminess that its hard to choose anyone set, so I thought it would be fun to create a giftset from a couple of different stamp sets. I love making little gifts that I can have on hand and it was fun to create this little trio consisting of a card, a mug filled with everything ready for some hot cider with mulling spices and a CD that you can burn with your very own holiday playlists. Here is a picture of my holiday trio:
I used this week's lovely Mojo Monday sketch #165 for my card and used the sentiment from the Plain Jane Christmas Blessings. I stamped the Sweet Scallop Tag three times and cut it out using the Sweet Scallop Die and then embossed the cut tags with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. I love the tag from the Glad Tidings stamp set and stamped it three times and cut out the snowflake and adhered it to the Sweet Scallop Dies.
I created three of these tags for each of my projects to coordinate all three items together. For the second part of my triple play, I created a little mug filled with a small bottle of mulling spices, some cinnamon and a teeny little grater for the cinnamon. Nothing quite says winter like the delicious smell of mulling spices in baked goods or in hot cider :) I used the sentiment "Just For You" from the Glad Tidings stamp set and used the sentiment "Merry" from the Merry Wishes stamp set.
I used the medium and small snowflakes in the Glad Tidings stamp set to create a little topper for the bottle of mulling spices and decorated the rest with some ribbon and twine. Here is another angle for what is in the mug:
For the last project in my triple play, I cut out some cardstock for the decorated it as an insert for a CD. I thought it would be fun to create a holiday playlist and burn a couple of copies as quick presents. I used the sentiments from the Merry Wishes stamp set to create this sentiment: "Joy to the World".
The ribbon can slide out for the CD case to open. I stamped some snowflakes from the Glad Tidings stamp set in Stazon Ink (first, I burned our holiday music onto the CD and then stamped and I heat set the snowflakes for a second after stamping it)
