January 2014 Diva Dare - Day 5

January Diva Dare - "Smitten"

Happy New Year everyone, and welcome to the first Diva Dare of 2014!  This month's Dare is entitled "Smitten."

What we're daring you to do this month is to make a card or project with a heart, whether it's for the one you love, a sweet Valentine or a lunch note for a child.  Let's get smitten!


I die cut of whole kit and caboodle of hearts from the Wavy Hearts Die, stitched them up in sweet rows to create a frame for that fabulous sentiment from the Love's Flower stamp set.  While the Wavy Hearts Die is a fairly new die of mine, the Love's Flower stamp set is one of the first sets I ever purchased from Verve Stamps!  Not only is this set perfect for Valentine's Day card, but, it is truly great for all occasions...I find myself going for it over and over again all throughout the year!


Deadline to link your cards is 8PM Mountain on Wednesday, January 22nd.  Entries must be posted 1/3 or later, include at least one Verve product, include a heart, and be linked up to the linky widget by 8pm Mountain on 1/22/14.  




During this month's Diva Dare, there are 2 prizes up for grabs!


Win a $40 Gift voucher to Verve Stamps! Take our "Smitten" Dare and link up your card (created January 3rd or later) to the linky widget below to be eligible to win.  One participant will be randomly selected to win the gift voucher.  You can enter as many times as you like, but each card needs to be in a separate post.

Win a set of your choice! For another chance to win some new Verve, leave a little comment love on our design team's "Smitten" Diva Dare posts!  One lucky commenter will win a Verve stamp set of his or her choice, so be sure to tune in each day!  Comment deadline to be entered in our prize drawing is January 22, 2014.

Winners will be announced on January 23, 2014. 


 For a little extra fun, I used the Viva La Verve Color Challenge - January Week 1!  Blue, brown and red are fantastic colors for a valentine.  You'll want to make sure and stop by the new Viva La Verve Challenge Blog, too, for inspiration and more chances to score some Verve for your stash!
