Hi there! Sorry I've been MIA the last couple days! I've been stamping away and I've also been having some camera issues! My camera issues have been solved and I'm here today to show you a sneak peek of a brand new set from Verve called Hearts Desire! You are going to squeal when you see the new sets from Verve! They are fantastic....now onto my card.....
I have seen these easel cards around the web and decided to do one after I saw this great tutorial on Splitcoaststampers. They are so easy! I don't know why I'm intimidated to try something new, because it's usually alot easier than it looks!
I stamped the "heart flourishy circle" on PTI White with Pure Poppy Ink and cut it out with Classic Circle Nestabilities. The sentiment was masked so I could stamp the "be" above the "mine". It was punched out with a 7/8" circle punch. The adorable patterned paper is from Papertrey and is called Simple Valentine. I love the small patterns that are included in this pack! The ribbony button bow is Pure Poppy Twill, Fresh Snow button and Rustic Cream Twine, all from Papertrey Ink.
The sneak peeks for the new Verve releases started on Tuesday over on the Verve Blog. All of the new sets will be available after the Verve release party tomorrow night (Friday the 15th) in the Verve Forum on Splitcoaststampers. I hope you can join us! The party starts at 9pm EST!
Don't forget to check back here tomorrow for one more sneak peek!
Thank you so much for stopping by!

I love everything about this- the layout, the colors, the stamps... ('course when you're using Verve and PTI what's not to love, right?).
Seriously, beautiful card, I really do love it.
