It's time for a new Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!

We have a new sponsor, Verve Stamps, for the Curtain Call Inspiration: Boho Bright!  A randomly selected participant in the Boho Bright challenge will receive a $30 gift certificate to use at  Verve Stamps, while the LEAD will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!

I was inspired by the recent Tag You're It Challenge no.9 and created this sweet round holiday tag with one of my favorite Verve holiday stamp sets, Blessed Christams!

I was inspired by the rich purple color and pulled out this Pomegranate satin ribbon to tie a gorgeous bow at the top of my tag. I stamped the cross in gold encore ink and added some sequins for extra sparkle and to pull in some of the blues from the photo. 

Make sure you visit each of the designers' blogs for more inspiration!

Chipboard Hearts

I'm a little out of whack for the start of the week. I love a holiday with a long weekend with the boys, but it always throws me off for the next day or two. You know, this Tuesday feels like a Monday and tomorrow will also mean the week is already half over-I guess this is why the weeks just fly by!

Okay, so my crafty share for you today is from a card I made last Friday with the Verve challenges. I got to hang out in the Verve forum for their release, thanks to Tim's late work night and had some fun. My fellow {ippity} DT member, Michelle, is also one of the Verve Diva's and her challenge was to use chipboard. I used some chipboard hearts and inked up part of a Verve Plain Jane Scripture stamp, 1 Chronicles16:34, to make this sweet little Valentine. Isn't that paper delish? Bet you wouldn't guess it's from a Christmas pack of dp-Good Cheer by October Afternoon. I inked up two of those hearts-one with hearts of old and the other with polka dot basics. I set off the sentiment with a little red Kaiser rhinestone.

So go dig in your stash, find some holiday paper that can be used year round and have some fun with it. Oh, yeah and while your at it, pull out some chipboard-I know you've got some!

Hugs, Lisa

Happy Holly Days!

How about some Christmas today? I cranked out a bunch of Holiday cards for the Verve new release challenges last Friday. If you did all 5 sketches, you were entered for a chance to win some FREE stamps. I was so excited when Julee announced the winners....I was one of the Lucky 6. Yeah me! Since I won 1 set, I also bought 1. You won't believe this... I ordered late Friday night, used standard shipping, and my stamps were here on MONDAY!!!! How's that for customer service?!!!
This was one of my favorite of the sketches from the five. Here's the card I did for the challenge followed by another one I did with the Holly Jolly Christmas set I won. This one is also a new stamp, it was a FREE digi download that Julee offered up last week. Aren't those mittens just darling? Papers are fun Jillibean soup. I guess I was still in a polka dot mood cause without knowing it I used some grey dots by October Afternoon on this next one.
I added stickles glitter to the ornaments, punched them out and popped them up. See their hooks? I'm a little embarrassed to admit that after almost 9 years of stamping that I finally bought a silver encore ink pad. What a cool ink, I love how it stamps. So there you have it. Have a Holly Jolly day! Check back tomorrow for our Limelight product and sketch challenge. We have a Rock Star guest designer with us, you won't want to miss out! Hugs, Lisa

I'm a Verve Sketch Goddess!

I finished up the last two sketches for the Verve Holiday release. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my lucky streak is still with me (I won Bunko on Monday). I have a Monstrous headache as I type this up, so I'm going to keep it super short and just show you the goods. I decided I should use my one and only Verve set (I hope to add more soon) on these last two cards. It is called Anniversary Birds and I bought it to make my DH's Anniversary card back in July. I think that is the only time this set has seen ink. I was happy to get them inky yesterday. Hope you like them!
Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your day!

Hugs,

Another Bird and Another Challenge!

See, I told you I had a thing for birds. I used this set one other time and that was for my DH's Anniversary card. I figured I'd better use it some more otherwise that was one expensive card I made, LOL! Over on SCS, Verve Visual just became a new Member Company. In the Verve forum Shannan (steubner) started a Meet the Verve Diva Challenge thread which will feature a new DT Member Challenge each week. You know me and challenges, I couldn't resist. Plus these colors are soooo ME-Pumpkin (go figure), Olive, Saffron, and Choc. Chip. While this color combo was no challenge for me, it was the perfect excuse to pull out this set (the only Verve set I own so far). Aside from the stamps, all products used on this card are SU. I used a ton of accessories on this card-nestabilities, flower fusion felt flowers, build a brad, twill ribbon, scallop and circle punches, and a cuttlebug embossing folder. This one is going out to my sister at the end of the month. Have a great week! Hugs,
