Welcome to Verve's July Release Spotlight Hops! A new release is just around the corner and for the next few days we'll be shining our creative spotlights on the new Verve sets and dies releasing Monday, July 10.
Today the Divas and special guests are sharing inspiration featuring the new Always Time stamp set and coordinating Kettle Time Die Set. Check out the Verve Blog post today for the full hop list, prize details, reveals and a little more on this fun new set.
If you have come here from Charmaine's blog you are right on track. If you just happened upon the Hop, check out the hop list below so you can get caught up.
Absolutely love this sentiment! A nice warm mug of coffee (decaf latte in my case) on a cold winter day, while out with a friend, or after a hectic day is indeed the equivalent of a hug :) I sneak peeked this wonderful die and mug image from tomorrow's set as it just fit the sentiment perfectly.
For the tea lovers out there, this tea pot and the other one in the set are adorable!! Unfortunately, my colouring skills have much to be desired...sorry! Such a cute sentiment too. I cased the flowers around the tea pot from this card by Julee. Such a wonderful way to ground the teapot. Layered up the doilies and added black half pearls around the top of the teapot for some dimension.

Darling cards, Marisa. I love all the elements you have used on both cards. Especially love the two different colored doilies on the second card. Also love your color combinations. Both are sweet.
Love the earthiness of the first card & the cute heart die with the sentiment. And love all the beautiful layers on the 2nd; it's simply gorgeous (coloring & all!).
Oh wow! Both your cards are really gorgeous! Love them!!!
You're too hard on yourself! Your coloring is fine-love the orange-it's kinda like Fiesta ware:) Can't wait to add these to my collection-especially love that sentiment, too.
Two great cards show great scope with these new stamps and dies.

Wonderful cards, Marisa! Love the green, coral, yellow combo! And I totally agree with you about a warm cuppa coffee being the equivalent of a hug!
Great cards! I'm loving all the fab sentiments on this set!
Fabulous!! I love the bright graphic look with a happy twist on your first card. I kept looking at those mugs and looking at the stamp set image wondering how you did that....LOL!!! Thanks for the sneaker. :) Beautiful second card, too. Such pretty colors and layers.

Gorgeous cards!! The black hearts just pop with the orange behind them and love the A Hug In A Mug sentiment, so cute! Your second card with the pretty colored doilies, the edging you did with the black pearls on the tea pot were cute additions. Love the use of the buttons and tiny bows too. Blessings, Catherine
