Happy Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop


Welcome to the Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop! Today, Verve Stamps turns three and Create With Joy is joining the celebration! If you hopped here from Tracy’s Stamping Blog, you're in the right place! If this is your first stop on the hop, you can start at the beginning and find out how to win prizes at Verve owner Julee's Blog. And, you can see the full list of participants by visiting the Master Hop List!



I discovered Verve a few years back on my quest for quality acrylic stamps. I fell in love with their extensive line of faith-based stamps and have been collecting them ever since! I appreciate the fact that Verve offers a wide range of sentiments and trendy designs at price points that everyone can afford! Here is a picture of my collection, which I display in a recycled Maya Road Tin!


For today’s hop, I created a card using Verve's adorable Some Bunny stamp set for inspiration. Some Bunny Loves You features papers, ribbons, and chipboard from Cosmo Cricket. Since the Verve Bunny knew that company was coming, she pulled out her prettiest jewels and dressed up in her Sunday finest – isn't her little frock adorable? I created an envelope with a pretty coordinating envelope liner for the occasion too!


Thank you so much for stopping by! Please be sure to leave a comment – you’ll not only make my day, but if you’re lucky, you may win some hidden commenter candy at this stop! And, be sure to peek at My Vintage Christmas Giveaway while you're here!

Now it's time to hop on over to Melissa’s Creative Space for a little more Verve-y goodness. Have a wonderful day hop back soon!
