Hi there! It's Charmaine bringing you Day 4 of the July Diva Dare!! I don't know about you, but I've really been enjoying what the Divas have been posting so far!
This month, we dare you to make a card or project using a BIRTHDAY theme. July happens to be a big birthday month here at Verve...five of our Divas have July birthdays, including the boss lady, Julee. Let's celebrate with some fun birthday projects, shall we? We can't wait to see how you answer the dare! (Stay tuned to see how you could win some shiny new Verve!)
I love to create little birthday packages. The smallest things can seem THAT much bigger just by how they're packaged, don't you think? ;) I created this little scalloped basket using my Silhouette. I stuffed it with some filler so it's all ready for a gift of some kind. The papers are from the Alphabet Soup Collection from My Mind's Eye. I started with the Hearts & Swirls Frame Die and the coordinating frame stamp from Twitterpated. I stamped the Happy Birthday Plain Jane sentiment onto the die cut frame. Then I got out my Bloom & Grow set and coordinating Elegant Leaves Die and Floral Circles Die Set to stamp and die cut some flowers and leaves. I added some glitter, bling and ribbon to finish off the birthday basket.
Would you like a chance to win some fabulous new VERVE GOODIES? There are two ways to win:
- Play along with our Birthday Diva Dare. Link up your creation (posted July 16 or later) to the linky widget ON THE DAY 1 POST before 6:00 pm MT on Sunday, July 29. One lucky stamper will win a $30 gift certificate to the Verve Store. Verve Stamps are not required, but if you've got 'em we would love to see 'em!
- For another chance to win, be sure to give the Divas a little shout-out in the comments section as we share our birthday creations. One lucky commenter will win the Verve stamp set of his or her choosing.
