Welcome back to Day 4 of Verve's June 2015 Spotlight Hops! The Verve Divas and special guests are back for another day of spotlighting the new holiday release! And the wait is almost over... everything previewed this week will be available in the Verve online store on Friday, 6/19. So come hop along with us and see our first looks at today's featured products!
If you have come here from Laurie's blog you are right on track. If you just happened upon the Hop, today's hop list is a bit lower down or you can head over to Verve Blog for the full Hop List.
Today's spotlight is shining on The Buzz set illustrated by Julee Tilman, as well as the coordinating The Buzz Die Set and Proverbs 16:24 Plain Jane.
Since I don't own a hexagon embossing folder (need to do something about that soon!) I opted for my trusty chicken wire folder instead. Paired it with some dots and this darling beehive and bees from The Buzz set. Used the co-ordinating dies from the The Buzz die set and opted for this adorable sentiment as it always makes me smile. Added some Stickles to the bee wings for a bit of sparkle.
My second card showcases the Proverbs 16:24 Plain Jane. In keeping with the honeybee theme, I used the chicken wire embossing folder again and layered up the sentiment panel. The Scalloped Trim Trio circle die framed in the sentiment, I fussy cut the small bees and added Stickles to the wings to add a bit of zip to the sentiment tag.
