Enjoy Life

Today I'm going to tell you about the new set Enjoy Life.

I first heard about this set at OnStage Milwaukee, and I fell in love with the set and the story behind it immediately. The person who designed this set is from my home state, Wisconsin. At OnStage, she shared the story behind this set and how it came to be. It resonated with me, and I realized that stamping has always been more than just paper and glue. It creates connections between people. It is therapy. It commemorates good times and bad.

This set was designed by Connie Fitzgerald and represents both of her incredible children. Through her speech, I could feel her passion towards creativity and her love for not just stamping but for people and for life. She is truly inspirational, and I hope I give Enjoy Life the justice it deserves.

Here is what I created using Enjoy Life.

I used Crumb Cake cardstock as the base and added a layer of the new color Mossy Meadow. Then I stamped the images from the set onto Whisper White cardstock in Mossy Meadow and Crumb Cake ink. 

The DSP used was Share What You Love Specialty DSP and Wood Textures DSP. I chose a lighter colored wood pattern and stamped the sentiment directly on the DSP using Mossy Meadow. Isn't that sentiment gorgeous?

I topped the card off by using some 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and tied a bow of Linen Thread around it. 

This card was very simple to make but is truly stunning, and I absolutely love the message that it sends. 

If you use different patterns from the Share What You Love Specialty DSP and change the color of the cardstock and ink you use, you can make the card look totally different! I've enjoyed using this set, and this will definitely not be the last time I use either the images or the sentiments from it. It is definitely a favorite!
