Verve November 2014 Release Day


It's release day at Verve and we're celebrating with Day 4 of our November 2014 Spotlight Hops!  


Verve Holiday Spotlight Hops


Have you enjoyed the spotlights we've been sharing this week? Well, the wait is over and everthing previewed this week is available in the Verve online store now! And to cap off this release, we're giving away the entire release to one lucky commenter along today's hop, so come along with us as we share one last look-see at our holiday spotlights!

Today's spotlight is on the November 2014 Release Collection, so grab a treat and hop along!  If you've come from the talented Amber's blog, you're in the right place. If you just happened upon the hop, you can check the hop list below to get caught up.


I just love red and gold for Christmas.  The easiest way for me to add gold is emboss in gold.  I have always loved the wreath image from Holiday Greeting - embossed in gold and color in the little berries and you've got a perfectly elegant wreath.

To spruce it up more as well as add some dimension, I colored and fussy cut out the poinsettias from the Light My World set and popped it up on top some gold floss and the wreath.  To make my frame, I also embossed the edges in gold to match.  I hope you have enjoyed all the cards so far!  Next on the blog is Charmaine!
