Chevron Love Verve Spotlight Hop

Hi friends!  Happy Wednesday!  I'm so happy there's another new release from Verve right around the corner.  You're at the very beginning of our first day of spotlight hops!  So grab your favorite treat and settle in for a sneak preview tour of our latest set, Chevron Love, which will release this Friday night, October 25! Oh, and there are PRIZES up for grabs, so be sure to leave some comment love as you hop about for a chance to win some new Verve!


I made several cards with this set and had a really hard time deciding which to share today.  I finally went with my favorite of the bunch, a true clean and simple card.  A while back I made a card using the All Aflutter Die Set and I used chevron washi tape to make the butterflies.  I loved the look of it, and it became the inspiration for this set.

The butterfly from Chevron Love is stamped twice in Strawberry Slush and both cut out with the coordinating All Aflutter die.  I used a colorless blender pen to give a softer pink to the chevrons, then added some dark chocolate pearls for the butterfly bodies.  The sentiment is also from Chevron Love and is stamped directly onto white cardstock.  I embossed a piece of Pool Party card stock with the Chevron embossing folder, then fussy cut the edges for a zig zag strip.  I finished off with dimensional tape and an espresso satin bow.  Easy peasy, but so striking!

Okay, time to hop along to the next stop....  Jen Shults!

Sometimes a CAS card just says it all and yours does just that. I LOVE the font on the sentiment and the sweet butterflies do their job at bringing your eye to it. TFS.
