So what's new?
We've been making room for some new lovelies with a retirement sale, and a few products I just couldn't bear to part with, so we're re-releasing them in compilation sets.

Petals & Wings
First up is Petals & Wings, a compilation of Fluttering By and Petals & Stems.  These sets have always been dear to my heart and I remember during their original release finally beginning to feel like a real artist.  Confidence in yourself is a magical thing, and these sets represent a turning point in my creative journey.

Changes:  I only made one change to these sets from their original form.  The butterfly antennae have been made into separate stamps, to allow versatility for a new coordinating die set.


Wings & Petals Die Set
That brings me to the next new product, the Wings & Petals Die Set, which coordinates with the  Petals & Wings set.  (If you have the retiring sets Petals & Stems or Fluttering By, these dies coordinate with those sets, too, but will cut off the antennae on the butterfly.)   A coordinating die set for these stamps has been the number one request over the years, and I am happy to oblige.


Die Sidekicks
The  Die Sidekicks set is based around retiring stamps that have previously released coordinating dies.  Included in the set are the butterfly and hearts & swirls frame from Twitterpated, the former All Aflutter and Scroll Plain Janes and Vintage Oval Frame (stamp) and Sweet Scallop Tag (stamp).



When I did the re-design of this set, I accidentally sent the file to manufacturing with a butterfly much larger than the coordinating All Aflutter die.  It's a gorgeously huge butterfly, but since the set concept is coordinating dies, we'll be correcting it and only including the correctly sized butterfly on future manufacturing runs.  In the meantime, our first run of inventory of this set will include the larger butterfly and we'll be tucking the correctly sized butterfly in as well. 

Hello Friend and Being Awesome
Since I was revisiting some of my favorite Verve stamps, I decided to enlarge a few favorite sentiments from Happy Hello and make them into plain janes.  I'm so excited to have these fun sentiments, Being Awesome and Hello Friend, take center stage.


Shine Bright Sequin Mix
I came across some super fun embellishments that I just couldn't resist, so we're adding a new sequin mix to the lineup! The Shine Bright Sequin Mix includes 4 sizes of super sparkly clear sequins. 

Since they're clear, they're the perfect accent to any project and the silvery finish gives a spectacular eye catching shine!




That wraps up the "new again" products, we've also got previously released coordinating dies for the Die Sidekicks set and any remaining retiring products from this release on sale HERE.

That's all the compilation sets I'm planning on releasing.  We'll be back on track with brand new never before seen Verve in May!  Hooray!
