March Diva Dare - Day 12

Hi Verve fans!  It's Julee here, your little caboose along our Just Give Me Stamps, Buttons and Bling Diva Dare series. Have you enjoyed the Diva mash-ups of  Diva Laurie and Diva Maureen's styles?  I think it's been so fun to see what each Diva have been inspired to create by these two gals' amazing cards.  So what will you create?  You have until Friday at 5pm to enter your answer to the dare for a chance to win a $40 Verve Stamps gift certificate!  I've added the entry form at the bottom of this post so you don't even have to go a lookin'.  {grin}

Okay, now it's time to share my little mash-up.  I  found quite a few similarities between these two gals, then blended in a few homages for each of them into my card.  Both of these gals have long been on my watch list for their use of buttons.  I must admit I am a button flunkie.  I love the way Laurie & Moe use them, but when I try to add them to a card they always feel forced.  LOL  They are also both "sprinklers".. as in sprinkles of bling or other embellishments here and there... a little surprise just hanging out smiling at you in the least expected places.  {grin}  And the two of them both almost always have a little bow and some designer paper on their projects.

 

In Laurie's style I embossed the sentiment, which is something she almost always does!  I also used a bit of vellum and a little mini clip.  For Moe, I chose the xoxo background paper (since she always signs her emails to me ox) and added in the banner tag and a bow with a button and twine.

The Much Love Plain Jane is stamped and embossed onto a vellum banner die, then I stamped it again on the chevron paper, cut out the layers and adhered them to the underside of the vellum.  This is matted on a white banner die cut (Both banners are cut with the Banner Bundle Die Set).  The top of the banner is from the Flag It Die Set and I sprinkled on some buttons and bling.  Most of it is covered up, but I  used the Flourished Trim Die as an accent on the pink chevron background strip, then layered a Pennant Trim Die cut underneath.  The butterflies are from the new So Fluttery set and stamped directly onto the patterned paper then die cut with the Flutterby Die

The circle is cut with patterned paper, then I layered a circle of vellum embossed with a chevron folder over the top of it and attached it with a mini clip.  The sweet little heart is a resist chipboard heart that I inked each side with pink and green to match the layout.  A bit more bling and pearls, plus a seam binding bow (from the Truly Madly Deeply Ribbon Collection) finish things off!

Enabler's List
Stamps:  Much Love Plain Jane, So Fluttery (Verve Stamps)
Paper: Fourteen (Crate Paper), White, vellum
Ink: Evergreen Bough, Spun Sugar (Ranger), Black
Accessories: Banner Bundle Die Set, Flag It Die Set, Flutterby Die, Flourished Trim Die, Pennant Trim Die (A Cut Above by VERVE), Truly Madly Deeply Ribbon Collection (Verve), Circle Nestabilities (Spellbinders),  buttons, chevron embossing folder and mini library clips (SU!), twine (hemptique), bling and pearls, heart chipboard (Pink Paislee), clear embossing powder, black liquid pearls

March Diva Dare - Day 11



Hello everyone, it's Christyne here hosting Day 11 of the March Diva Dare.  March is almost over and I feel like I've been waiting forever to show you all my March Diva Dare creation!  This month we are spotlighting the fabulous divas Laurie Schmidlin (Just Give Me Stamps) and Maureen Plut (Buttons and Bling).  Combining the themes from both blogs, we get "Just Give Me Stamps, Buttons, & Bling!"  Here are my stamps, buttons, and bling!

I decided to use a bunch of different shaped layers as a nod to Laurie since I just love how she always makes that work so well.  From Maureen, I wanted to highlight her bows that are always so bold and perfectly fluffed with a little touch of twine and of course, a button!  The doilie is a steal from both women and one of my favorites as well, so I just had to use one!  I added some bright colors from the My Mind's Eye paper pad Ooh La La for Her, and of course some bling in the form of rhinestones and shiny silver brads.  From the fabulous new Verve release, I used the Beautiful PJ and the Scalloped Trio Trop die, as well as two colors of seam binding from the Spring Fling collection.  

The Divas are almost done posting their Diva Dare creations.  Monday, March 25 will be our last inspiration piece for March so be sure you don't miss it. Additionally, you can catch up with the previous creation postings using the list to the right.  Why, do tell?

March Diva Dare - Day 10

Hello peeps, it is Teresa and I am so thrilled to be sharing my take on this months Diva Dare.  I am sure by now you know we are spotlighting divas Laurie Schmidlin from Just Give Me Stamps and Maureen Plut from Buttons and Bling.

I wanted to use a couple of creating traits from each diva and one that was similar.  I have used from Laurie's style, the warm colors and rounded corners; from Maureen's style I used bling and buttons.  I noticed that both of these divas use hearts a lot, that makes me happy..*grin*; so I went with a main heart show casing the scripture from the Verve set Surely Goodness. I have used papers from My Mind'a Eye collection Unforgettable.

I sure hope you will take the Verve Diva Dare, I look forward to seeing how you interrupt both of their styles! There are two divas left to share,tomorrow and Monday; stop back by and check out whats to come.

March Diva Dare - Day 9

Hey there! It's Jen S. here and I'm so excited to by sharing my first post here on the Verve blog. :) I'm sharing my take on this month's Diva Dare. This month's Dare is to make a card inspired by Laurie's blog, Just Give Me Stamps and Maureen's blog, Buttons and Bling.


To get started on my project I took a stroll around both Laurie's and Moe's blog and decided I need to incorporate the not only buttons and bling but a bit of brightly colored paper and distressed/sponged edges and ribbon inspired by both ladies. :) 

My card has a whole lot of Vervey goodness throughout so here are the details... I started with a sentiment from So Fluttery and I die cut it with an oval. Then I went Verve die crazy layering the Classy Label Die behind my oval, two little Charming Banner Dies under the buttons and the Flourish Trim Die as the base for my bling. :) To finish it off I used a bit of Stormy Skies seam binding ribbon to make a little bow above the sentiment. The papers I used are from My Mind's Eye Collectable: Memorable 6x6 pad, Bazzill's kraft cardstock and the white cardstock is all mixed up in my storage file right now after an 8 year old invasion so I can only speculate where it's from but I'm pretty sure it's Choice Snow White cardstock.

To get your wheels a turnin', the Divas will be posting their Diva Dare creations using our newly released products right here, each weekday, for the next two weeks.  Winners will be announced on Thursday, March 28th.

March Diva Dare ~ Day 8


Good morning everyone!  Maureen here as your hostess for Day 8 of our Diva Dare challenge!  We're looking at the styles and blog titles of the Divas this year and first up in the spotlight are the March birthday girls,  Laurie {Just Give Me Stamps} and me {Buttons and Bling}!  I went straight over to Diva Laurie's blog to oogle and drool all over again at her stunning mix of papers and layers.  Then I threw some colourful paper on my desk and started creating my layers with the Banner Bundle Dies, the Flutterby die and matching So Fluttery images.  Laurie used the Classy Label Die during the last release on THIS CARD and I just had to replicate it with the Smile Plain Jane.  Some distressed and stitched layers, some gorgeous Spring Fling seam binding, a button and bling (!) and I think we've got a perfect marriage of my and Laurie's styles :)

The Divas are going to be posting their Diva Dare creations using our newly released products right here, each weekday, for a total of two weeks. And what does that mean? There are going to be winners, so you need to get your entries in! We'll announce the winners on Thursday, March 28th. Check below for the down-low on how to participate:

March Diva Dare - Day 7

Morning Verve friends! Andrea checking in here with you today with my take on this month's Diva Dare challenge! When this idea was first presented to us, I thought to myself, wow, what a great idea to glean the individual styles of the Divas! A wealth of inspiration is found with any one of the gals...however, this month we're shining the spotlight on Maureen {Buttons and Bling} and Laurie {Just Give Me Stamps}. I have to admit to stalking these two pros before joining the team and I'm honored to add a little bit of the sparkle to my card that makes their cards special. So here's my take on buttons, bling, layers and stamps:


 Buttons and bling? Oh, yeah...I'm down with that! I dedicate all these lovely pearls and that sweet, dependable bow (that her cards are so famous for) to lovely Maureen. I added lots of layers as well to this card in dedication to Laurie, who's beautiful style vacillates from classic to whimsy with simple ease and grace. I started off with a base of Attic Treasures papers, sewing the inside panels after distressing them with Walnut Stain ink. I then added the scalloped panel across the middle, layered lace, satin ribbon, more lace and finally a strip of white pearls. The bow was added after, and adorned with a hemp bow, button and pearl. More pearls in the form of a flourish and then lastly, I stamped the sentiment from Verve's latest release, Beautiful Plain Jane onto the empty space of the top panel. (Which in retrospect, I should have done first since all that dimension got in the way...) Can't force creativity sometimes! :) Oh, then lastly LASTLY I decided on the Onyx Pearl border around the outside perimeter. Love me some dots!

The Divas are going to be posting their Diva Dare creations using our newly released products right here, each weekday, for a total of two weeks. And what does that mean? There are going to be winners, so you need to get your entries in! We'll announce the winners on Thursday, March 28th. Check below for the down-low on how to participate:

March Diva Dare - Day 5


Hey there!  It's Laurie here!  Today is my first post on the Verve blog and I am pretty excited about that!  I am here with another card for the Diva Dare.  This month's Dare is to make a card inspired by Laurie's blog, Just Give Me Stamps and Maureen's blog, Buttons and Bling.  

I decided the best route for me was to go and CASE one of these talented ladies.  So I picked THIS card of Laurie's and got to work.  Here is what I came up with...


This gorgeous sentiment is from Verve's new set called Surely Goodness!  LOVE!  I am pretty proud of all these layers here!  (Not my norm!) And then I added in a little twine ribbon and a dot of bling too!  :)

March Diva Dare - Day 4


We are well on our way into March's Diva Dare today combining Laurie's blog name at Just Give Me Stamps and Maureen's from Buttons and Bling and I'm gonna double dare you to take the challenge! It's so much fun to catch onto a style from these two Diva's and create. You just have to try it!

So here is how I took the dare…



Laurie and Maureen's blog names plus their elegant use of posies, rounded corners and sewing are what inspired me for the dare. Here are the Verve-y highlights.

Starting with the Viva La Verve Challenge week 2 sketch from Diva Jen S., I used the new release stamp set So Fluttery and combined two of the text stamps for my sentiment. I added a side panel using a Flag It Die and attached it with some stitches. A circle trim die, one of three dies in the Scalloped Trim Trio Die Set, is attached with a quick straight stitch. My flower is handmade using the Scalloped Flowers Die Set where I cut both out, snipped in-between petals, wet the paper with water and scrunched it up, then gently opened and a quick dry with the heat tool. The bow is a combination of Espresso seam binding ribbon from the Signature Ribbon Selection, black and white twine and a blue button. And then it's bling time! I added black pearls around the flower and bow. That's all! Now...

Has that got your wheels a turnin'? The Divas are going to be posting their Diva Dare creations using our newly released products right here, each weekday, for a total of two weeks. Why, do tell? There are going to be winners!  We'll announce the winners on Thursday, March 28th.

When I was creating my card, one thing that made me think of Laurie (besides lots of layers) is how she embosses a line art image in white on patterned paper.  I love it when she does that!  :)  The image always looks great and there's no need to color!  I did that on my card with the flower image from Surely Goodness.  When I think of Maureen, I think of these big fluffy bows and the bling!!  I used some of the Truly, Madly, Deeply Seam Binding for my bow.
 

The papers are from the For the Record 2 Tailored Collection from Echo Park.  I also used the Flag It Die Set for the little red tab and the sentiment tab.  The flower pieces were die cut using the Goodness Flowers Die Set

March Diva Dare - Day 1 (Entry Form)


Hi there, this is Marisa kicking off this month's Diva Dare entitled "Just Give Me Stamps, Buttons and Bling".  If you recognize a few blog names in the title, you are well on your way to figuring out this month's dare.  So with no further adieu, this month, "we dare" you to create a card combining Diva Laurie (Just Give Me Stamps) and Diva Maureen's (Buttons and Bling) styles.  For insight into their styles and inspiration galore, you can find Diva Laurie's Verve creations here and Diva Maureen's Verve creations here.

When I think of Laurie, skewed panels, lots of layers and vellum, come to mind. When I think of Maureen, double sentiments, grosgrain ribbon bows and buttons and bling come to mind.  After mixing them together, here is the card I came up with. 


I skewed the main panel, and then used the Flutterby die to cut out three paper and three vellum butterflies. I embossed one of the butterfly  images from So Fluttery on the paper butterflies and then overlay each one with a vellum butterfly for a "softer" look  (sorry, I was unable to capture the vellum in the photo).  I added a scalloped heart border from the Scalloped Trim Trio die set along the bottom of the chevron panel, but it pretty much got covered up by the ribbon in the photo - my bad.  Next, I added a double sentiment using two of the phrases from So Fluttery, one on the main panel and one on a tab from the Flag It die set.  A grosgrain bow and some buttons finished things off and my Diva Dare card was complete.  
 

To get your wheels a turnin', the Divas will be posting their Diva Dare creations using our newly released products right here, each weekday, for the next two weeks.  Winners will be announced on Thursday, March 28th.
