Verve Stamps & Ribbon Carousel Blog Hop!

Hello!  You're in for a treat today with a blog hop for Verve Stamps and the Ribbon Carousel!

First up, I'd like to give a shout out to Julee Tilman, owner and designer of Verve Stamps, who was extraordinarily generous, sending us stamps and dies to create with.  Thank you Julee!


I know, I just mentioned how generous Julee was with sending us supplies, but I just had to let this gorgeous sentiment take the focus on a CAS card.  I've used Stronger Love (I adore that sentiment!) on Butter Mints Bazzill Card Shoppe cardstock and I used Distress Inks and the Ink Blending Tool to blend some rays of sunshine.

I couldn't resist taking a few close-ups.  I love twine tied in a triple bow!


And that divine sentiment from Stronger Love, embossed in black.





Hop along with us today and leave some blog love for our Ribbon Carousel Crewmates and the Verve Stamps designers to be eligible to win one of the 2 prizes up for grabs! We'll select 2 random commenters from 2 randomly selected designer blog, so be sure to spread the love around!

The Verve Stamps prize is the ENTIRE November Release, and the RC prize is a NEW Ribbon Carousel with your choice of knob color!

    Simply gorgeous! And I agree with you about how cool it looks to tie three strand of twine (sometimes it looks too skimpy...never thought to triple it up). Thanks for sharing.

    Pretty, pretty, pretty! The 'triple-it-up' technique with your twine adds such a special touch; a technique I'll definitely try! Thank you for sharing.
