Make A Moth: Lorelai by Emily Moore Designs

 

Hi friends!  I am on the blog over at Emily Moore Designs in addition to a new YouTube Video showing the process behind this beautiful note card. 

The moth on this card is from the Make A Moth: Lorelai Die Set.  I just love making these moths.  There are so many different ways to decorate their wings especially if you combine the sets.  I also like that you can use the little bits and pieces as embellishments. 

For this beautiful moth, I used Turquoise, Periwinkle, Lilac and Stippled Silver Matte Foil Cardstock.  You can purchase this paper at 12x12 Cardstock Shop

I applied double sided 4" x 6" adhesive sheets to the back of the cardstock.  This is my favorite way to adhere all these little pieces together.  It is not only easier, but it is neater especially when you are working on foil. 

When I’m die cutting the pieces, I like to peel off the back tape and place my little pieces on a sheet of heat-resistant Teflon.  This is really helpful when you need to use the same die multiple times. 

Now you get to put your moth together.  The body and the wings definitely have only one way to go on, but the decoration on the wings is entirely up to you! This is the fun part - the creative opportunities are endless!

For the bottom layer of my card, I cut a piece of gray cardstock, 4.25” x 5.5” . I also cut a piece of black shimmer cardstock to 4.0” x 5.25”.  I rounded my corners so that everything looks cohesive.  I glued those two pieces together.

I used the largest background die from the Decorative Sentiment Die to cut out a piece of green shimmer cardstock. 

For the sentiment on this card, I used the “Hey” from the Hi, Hey, Hello Word Dies – Big and Bold.  For the shadow on the word, I used a black shimmer cardstock.  The scripty lettering was cut from the silver matte foil.  

Next, I removed the back of the adhesive tape, put a little glue on the back of the moth and place it on the green shimmer cardstock.  The reason I am putting liquid glue on the top of the adhesive because it gives me a little barrier so I can move the piece around until I have it exactly where I want it.

I always like to pop up something on my cards if I can – I think it always adds a nice little touch.  I use Crafty Foam Tape to pop up the layer with the moth on it. 

To finish up this card, I attach it to a card base.  To make the card base, I cut a piece of white cardstock to 5.5” x 8.5”.  I scored it at 4.25” and folded it in half.

This was such a quick card to make, I decided to make another one since my supplies were already on my table.
