The Scalloped Edge: Verve Thankful Hearts Blog Hop!

November 27, 2009

Verve Thankful Hearts Blog Hop!

It’s new release time at Verve and we’re topping off our Thankful Hearts Blog Party with a blog hop featuring three new sets that just released, all focused on thankfulness. If you’ve been hopping and arrived from Tosh's blog, then you’re right where you should be. If you’ve just happened by, then you’ll want to hop on over to Poetic Artistry to start from the beginning! And to make this hop even sweeter, we’ve got a special treat hidden along the way for one lucky commenter. So if you see something that makes you smile, be sure to give a little shout-out in the comments for a chance to win our entire release!

For the hop I used the new and fantastic Thankful Accents set! I ADORE this set and I know you will too! My pal, Jodi, has an awesome tutorial for these card purses on Splitcoast and I couldn't wait to try it out! My card purse holds four cards and four envelopes...

Here is a close up of the purse! These purses are a BREEZE to make and so fun! All of the cardstock and dp used on this project are from Papertrey. I have listed all of the colors in the recipe at the bottom of this post.

You can see here that I made four cards, all the same but with different sentiments from Thankful Accents and different colors! I rarely make something that I LOVE, but I {heart} this so much!

And finally here is one of the cards close up. I used a Sizzix Texture Plate (Stampin' Up!) for the white panel. I just love the way the swirls from the texture plate mimic the swirls on the wreath. I also love the bit of sparkle from the adhesive gems around the wreath. I hope I've inspired you!!

Your next stop on this hop is the awesome and oh, so hiliarious, Susan!!

Posted by: Millie | November 28, 2009 at 08:51 PM

You have indeed inspired me! Talk about designer! This is Neiman Marcus five stars -- so clever to make the cards themed as the "purse" and the little gems are just the right touch.
