Here is another sample using the Enjoy Every Moment set-this was inspired by Laurie Schmidlin’s card which can be seen here: http://justgivemestamps.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/03/a-little-bit-fu.html
We made this at my downline meeting this month. I really liked the way she used a black on black layer and loved the circles, but I wanted to make it a bit more springy. I started with a 6×6 square piece of cardstcok folded to a 3×6″ card. I layered another black piece on there and popped it up with dimensionals. The circles are 1 1/4″ punches from Apricot and Celery paper that I pieced around to make it a bit whimsical (great way to use up scraps!). I finished it off by embossing the “enjoy” and adding a touch polka dots in Apricot in the background to brighten up the main sentiment. I added a bit of wide Celery and Vanilla grosgrain ribbon to finish it off.
I have a Stamp a Stack this Sunday so I will have a sneak peek tomorrow of one of the 5 cards we are making.

If you didn’t know better, you’d think it was scrapbook paper. I like the springy colors!
