Welcome to Day 4 of the Anni-VERVE-sary Spotlight Hops! Hop along with the Divas all week long as we share our first looks at a few of the new products releasing from Verve on Friday night!
Okay, true story…when I first saw the preview of this set, I was so overwhelmed and excited. I thought that Julee had taken the story of how I met my dh and created a “love” set around it. She even included wedding rings! Funny what the mind sees! No, it’s just a fabulous coffee set with fun little coffee and tea sayings and the image of coffee rings, not wedding rings! LOL Those first reactions to sets can be interesting. The truth is the dh and I did meet 6 years ago at Starbucks. So I let this be the inspiration for this card. I turned those coffee rings into our wedding rings…complete with the 7 diamonds on my engagement ring :) The background panel was stamped using the java stamp in dark brown ink and the same “rings” in sand ink. The 4 layered hearts were die cut with 2 different reds for some visual interest :) (btw…the From the Heart Die Set is our Anni-VERVE-sary special. It will be available exclusively as a free gift with orders $35 and over through August 31, while supplies last. From the Heart will be available for purchase in September.) This may very well be his Valentine card next year or maybe a little love note when he travels for work. Want to win this set? Here are the details.
One lucky commenter from each day's hop will win the sets and dies featured that day, so be sure and leave a little love in the Divasphere! Check out the Verve Blog today for all the prize details and deadlines.

What a sweet story about how you met! I think it's beautiful that you saw wedding rings in the coffee marks. Gorgeous card!
Wonderful how you've personalized this card!
Very nice. I've enjoyed all of these great "coffee" cards. ;-)
What a sweet story! And even if it wasn't meant for it, I love how you used this set. That coffee/engagement ring is just perfect. Beautiful!
Great story--I like how you turned the coffee rings into wedding rings.
Oh maureen this is fabulous girl, I love how you used the rings as your rings= I just love the rings anyways. Kind of vintage/shabby in itself. I think that this set will be a staple for many.
Great card.
