3x3 Notes sets for a Verve Challenge

First off, I have to apologize for the inconsistency of the photos. I'm learning how to use photoshop and it's going to take some time for me to figure it all out. Thanks for your patience.

Now, for the project. Have you ever had one of those projects where everything just flowed? Well, that's how I felt about this 3x3 note set. When I saw Julee's Verve Release Week Challenges I thought it would be fun to participate. I purchased last month's bundle and haven't had a chance to use them until now. And what a treat it was to work with these gorgeous images. I'm a HUGE fan of Verve Stamps. For this month's release, Julee is offering stampers a chance to win a $30 gift certificate, and two will win a $54 in value New Release Bundle. How cool is that?!?!

I decided to make 3x3 notecards using Julee's sketches and color challenge. Laurie (a dear friend of mine) designed a fabulous little box for 3x3 notecards. You can find the tutorial on her blog, Just Give Me Stamps, HERE. These little guys are so much fun to make, and they worked beautifully with Julee's sketches.

Here's the card for Julee's Sketch #1:

The flowers and pot were colored with copics, the butterfly (Martha Stewart) is punched vellum that I colored with a copic and coated with ultratransparent glitter. The little tabs were punched with the Stampin' UP! Horizontal Slot punch. The little rhinestones on the flowers are Multicolored Mini Rhinestones (Zva Creations).

Here's Julee's Sketch #2

The flowers were colored with copics, and are raised with dimensional tape. Again, I used the Multicolored mini rhinestones that Michelle now carries at Stamper's Dream, to add a bit of bling.

Here's Julee's Sketch #3

Again the images are all colored with copics with a touch of glitter added.
I'll list my supplies with their links below to save your reading...*grin*

Here's my final card that I made for Julee's Color Challenge.


Finally, Here's the box I made, with Laurie's wonderful Mini Card Box Tutorial, to hold these little notecards.



Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a fantastic weekend!!
