Here's a little birthday card I made for my nephew featuring both the Geared Up set and the Award Banner Die we're spotlighting today.  When we gave it to him at his birthday party last weekend, he said, "I can tell Aunt Julee made this, because she's a wonderful card artist".  High praise, indeed, from an 8 year old boy!  {grin}

Check out the reveals and a little back story on today's featured products  below...  

Geared Up is an $18 set of 21 party themed stamps. For the twins' 1st birthday last March., I decided on a robot-themed birthday party.  I absolutely love robots and was surprised at how hard it was to find anything robot-themed to decorate with.  (Rookie mistake:  don't decide on a theme, until you've found the decor!)  I vowed to make some robot stamps that would work for party decor and birthday cards and invites when I had time, so this set and the set we're revealing tomorrow are my answer to that vow.  {grin}

This little retro robot is all geared up with a party hat and includes the numbers 0 - 9 to personalize to any age.  The gears are perfect for dressing up his body or creating fun backgrounds or dimensional elements.

I'm pretty partial to party banners, too, so I created a fun little banner trim die that has varying lengths of pennants and circles, for a super fun effect.  At 5.5" wide, the Award Banner Trim Die is perfect for cardmaking!

 All of the products featured this week will be available for purchase in the Verve Store on Friday, September 27.

Thanks so much for hopping with us today!  Have a great day and we'll see you back here tomorrow for some more fresh new looks at VERVE!
