April 2014 Diva Dare - Day 12

Hi Verve fans!  It's Julee here, popping in to wrap up this month's Little Things Diva Dare.  The deadline for your challenge entries and comments is 8pm on Wednesday, April 23.  I've added the linky widget to the bottom of this post, so it's easy to find!

For my card, I pulled out the Birthday Bots set and got to work making a card for a friend who is expecting a little girl.  The bot is stamped onto a pre-made tag shape, then I paper pieced the jumper and colored the hat with copics and added some dots around the tag to set it off.  The sentiment is colored with Copics and then coated with glossy glaze.  I did the same to some star die cuts from the Starry Die, sprinkling a little glitter on them for a some shine.  A stick pin and some ribbon from the Truly Madly Deeply Ribbon Collection accent things and I embossed the pretty in pink layer with my favorite Stars & Swirls embossing folder.

April 2014 Diva Dare~Day 11

Happy Friday everyone! I hope everyone is having a fantastic day! Jen here to bring you day 11 of the April Diva Dare! Our theme this month is:

"Little Things" - April Diva Dare

Welcome to April's Diva Dare!  In honour of Spring's arrival (in some parts of North America anyway!), this month's Dare is entitled "Little Things".    The challenge is to create a baby or kid themed card, how fun!

I was inspired by Laurie's gorgeous sketch for today's Viva La Verve challenge. I did make a couple of small changes but overall Laurie's sketch is where I started. To get started on my card I stamped Emery Plain Jane on white cardstock and colored him in with Spectrum Noir markers. I used a sentiment from To The Moon for the top that I die cut with the Flag It Die Set. After distressing everything subtlety and separating the layers with foam tape I was done.

April 2014 Diva Dare~Day 10

"Little Things" - April Diva Dare

Morning Verve friends...it's Andrea here with you today and I want to welcome you to April's Diva Dare!  In honor of Spring's arrival this month's Dare is entitled "Little Things".  

What we're daring you to do this month is to create a baby or kids themed card. I decided that this cute little monkey from the 'To the Moon' set would pair up perfectly with some 'Wander' paper to make a darling little baby boy card:

I stamped the sweet little monkey and colored him in with Prismacolor pencils. The sentiment is stamped on a Mini Bookplate die and matted on it's coordinating shape. The banners are made with A Cut Above dies Banner Bundles die set.  I added the Pennant Trim die down the vertical edge of the striped paper panel. I accented with lots of Liquid Pearls, a button, twine and a metal edge tag. And I added a little hand stitching, as well.

I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch as my design:

I was inspired by Teresa's Week 2 Viva La Verve sketch and a patchwork quilt.  I made a baby girl card for the Inspiration Hop this month and wanted to make a baby boy card with the same Smallest Things plain jane.  The banners were created with the Flag It Die set.  A little wooden heart and some sequins finish off this sweet little boy's card.

Janelle here, to give you my take on the challenge for today.

Nothing is more fun than robots... they're awesome! They can even be used for an any day card.

I used the a robot and sentiment from Birthday Bots and colored with Copic markers on the main panel and doodled some stitch marks for some fun lines. 

I colored and hand cut out some gears from Geared Up popping them up with foam adhesive around and all this is topped off with a few fun metal confetti from the Metal Mix Sequins. Other material for this card are striped washi tape (RAK) and pattern paper (The Escape ~ Little Yellow Bicycle)

April 2014 Diva Dare - Day 6

Hello there! Amber here with my take on this month's Diva Dare!

"Little Things" - April Diva Dare

Welcome to April's Diva Dare!  In honor of Spring's arrival (in some parts of North America anyway!), this month's Dare is entitled "Little Things".    The challenge is to create a baby or kid themed card, how fun!

I wanted to make a super girly card so I pulled out pinks, aquas, greens, and yellows and went to town on this card! I pulled out my old trusty favorite, Bloom and Grow and stamped the different flowers and leaf images on the cream card base.

Next, I stamped the sentiments from Practically Perfect on a circle die cut. The layout is loosely based on this week's Viva la Verve sketch, just on a smaller scale:)

The scallops on the right side is one of the borders from Scalloped Trim Trio, and the banners were all cut out with the Banner Bundle die collection

It's Charmaine and I'm excited to bring you another day of "Little Things" inspiration!  

What we're daring you to do this month is to create a baby or kids themed card. 

 

 

I just LOVE making cards for kids or babies.  I love using cute patterned papers or fun colors, and a kid or baby-themed card is a perfect way to do that!   For this card I used the Chevron Love set along with some patterned paper from My Mind's Eye called Alphabet Soup-Girl. 

I just LOVE the fun animals and the colors in this patterned paper.  It can work for either a baby or an older child.  I used the coordinating Jotted Heart Die to die cut the heart.  Along the left edge of the card, I used the Pennant Trim Die from Verve. 

To finish the card, I used some ribbon from the Signature Ribbon Collection along with some Baker's Twine and bling!  Now it's your turn!!

April 2014 Diva Dare - Day 4

"Little Things" - April Diva Dare

Welcome to April's Diva Dare!  In honor of Spring's arrival (in some parts of North America anyway!), this month's Dare is entitled "Little Things".    

Stacey here!  I'm so excited to bring you another day of "Little Things" inspiration!  

What we're daring you to do this month is to create a baby or kids themed card. 

The "Little Things" challenge was my chance to dust off these adorable stamp sets, Geared Up and Birthday Bots to create a fun card for a little guy!  When my boys were little, they loved robots, gears and anything with parts - to take apart!  I must admit that making this card had me reminiscing back to a time when my oldest son would tuck his favorite robot under his pillow at night!  Now, he is (almost) 14 and sadly, there are no more robots under his pillow.  Where does the time go?!

In addition to Geared Up and Birthday Bots stamp sets, I used the Rounded Rectangle Tag Die to frame up the cutie-patootie robot, and the Banner Bundle Die Set tucked behind the tag to extend the focal point.  

Deadline to link your cards is 8PM Mountain on Wednesday, April 23rd.  Entries must be posted 4/4 or later, include at least one Verve product, be a baby or kids themed card, and be linked up to the linky widget by 8pm Mountain on 4/23/14.

The Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #340 is still up and running and worked as a wonderful layout for my "Geared Up for Fun" card today!  It's CONTEST WEEK over at Mojo Monday, so you won't want to miss a chance at some free Verve!

Thanks so much for stopping by the Verve Stamps Blog today!
