November Diva Dare - Day 8

Welcome to November's Diva Dare!  It's Laurie bringing you Day 8!  This month's dare is entitled Vellum Visions.  Soft and classy, vellum always makes a big impression.  So, this month, we are daring you to add some vellum to your card or project.

This is one super easy Diva Dare for me!  I absolutely adore vellum and actually try not to use it on every card!  Hee!  I embossed one of my favorite sentiments from the Stronger Love stamp set onto vellum using black detail embossing powder.  I kept the design simple, adding just a few embellishments.

 

Two ways to win prizes for double the fun!

Win a $40 gift voucher to Verve! Take our Vellum Visions dare and link your card up to be eligible to win.  Entries must include some vellum, be posted 11/7 or later, include at least one Verve product and be linked up to the linky widget by 8pm Mountain on 11/29/14.  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.

January Diva Dare- Day 12

Hey there!  It's Laurie here with today's Diva Dare.  I have a fun CAS card for you but first, I want to share some news.  Today is my last post here with the amazing team at Verve.  I have had the most wonderful year with these girls and I have been so blessed to have this time as a Diva!  I have lots going on at home with the schedules of 2 busy kiddos and so I am just stepping back a little, to have some more time at home!  So lets get going with this month's challenge...

I have a super CAS card today, using one of my most favorite Verve sets, Stronger Love.  I added in a heart from the Heart Quartet die, and the covering that with some Glossy Accents.  Easy peasy!  

I want to give a quick shout out to Julee!  Thank you for everything over this past year!  I am so thankful to have had the chance to be on this great team!  Sending hugs to you all!

September Diva Dare ~ Day 11

Hi, It's Laurie here, with Day 11 of the Diva Dare Challenge "Tic, Tac, Toe". 

We are challenging you to create a card or project using inspiration from a tic-tac-toe board. For example: x’s and o’s, hugs and kisses, squares, circles, grids, you get the idea. 

I read the challenge and was instantly taken by the "grid" part.  I love a scored background so that is how I decided to incorporate the idea of a tic-tac-toe board...

I used my Scor-Pal and scored every inch on the diagonal to create this background.  I added in a sentiment form Let it Be.  I also stamped a heart from Stronger Love and then cut it out.  I actually attached it with the stamped side down.  This layout was completely inspired (and CASE'd) by THIS badge I found on Pinterest  I love the colors and the fun circle focal point.

September Diva Dare ~ Day 3 *yes, I'm going backwards!*

Hey there! In case you're confused, don't be! I didn't get my post up on Day 3 so I'm here to get it done today:)

This month, we have a super fun dare! We're being inspired by TIC TAC TOE!

Your dare, should you choose to accept it, is to create a card or project using inspiration from a tic-tac-toe board. For example: x’s and o’s, hugs & kisses, squares, circles, grids, you get the idea. 

I wanted to go pretty literal with the tic-tac-toe theme. I stamped one of the scripty backgrounds from Text Objects and stamped the gray cardstock, in gray ink. Then I sewed the grid on the gray cardstock. 

I die cut some felt hearts using the Jotted Heart die, then sewed the two blue hearts to the card front. I stamped "Love You" from Stronger Love. After stamping the sentiment, I speckled the heart randomly using matching colored Copics.

A couple coordinating buttons and a twine bow and that's it!
