Enjoy Every Moment

This is one of the sets that I finally got around to mounting last week when catching up on things in my craft room; Enjoy Every Moment. I have had this set on my wish list for quite some time. During Sale-a-Bration, we have the opportunity to earn free stamp sets. This year, this is the stamp set that I chose as my FREE set. I have you, my customers to thank for that!

I used my Big Shot and the Texturz Plates Stampin' Up! Backgrounds 1, Large Polka Dots, and the DSP Razzleberry Lemonade for the background. The word enjoy is one stamp and is stamped with Rich Razzleberry Classic Ink. Every moment is another stamp, and is stamped in Crushed Curry Classic Ink. I stamped a coordinating decorative circle, from the same set, punched it out and layered it over the "o", then glued a Half Pearl from the Pretties Kit on top.

My favorite part of this card is the butterfly. I used my Big Shot and Bigz Die Beautiful Butterflies to cut the butterfly from another pattern from DSP Razzleberry Lemonade. From the Pretties Kit again, I used a Clear Teardrop Pearl and a Half Pearl to create the head and body. Then I used the centers from two of the flowers to make the antenna. I used my Crystal Effects to glue the pearls because it dries clear. I wanted the wings to stand out so I used two Stampin' Dimensionals stacked on top of each other.

If you've been thinking about joining my team, and doing what I do, now is the time! You can join the Stampin' Up! family now through the end of August for only $85.00. Start earning your FREE stamps today. Contact me for more information.

You should be receiving your Holiday Mini catalogs very soon. I know you're going to Love it! I have been working on several samples to share with you, but I can't spoil the surprise. Starting September 1, be sure to check in to see some projects using some of the stamp sets available.

I hope your week has gotten off to a great start. Thanks for stopping by today!
