Make A Moth Betty Hello Notecard


Hello!  Just a quick card for today.  I have a cheerful little card today that has one of my favorite moths, Betty, by Emily Moore Designs.  I just love building this little buddies.  This particular moth was created with just the pieces from the Make A Month: Betty Die Set, but you can use the other little bits and pieces from the other Make A Moth Sets.  

I used the colors on the patterned paper to select the colors for the moth.  I used Emily Moore Design Decorative Sentiment Die Set to cut out the flowered paper and the white piece behind my moth.  The addition of the white cardstock really helped the moth pop.  The green background paper was cut using their Card Sentiment Dies.  The largest die in this set is 5.25" x 4.0" which is perfect if you like to have a small border on the outside of the card front.  I love a little border and do it on most of the cards that I make.


I used the same cardstock for the sentiment that I used to make my moth.  I used the Hi, Hey Hello - Big and Bold.  I added a little bit of "stitching" with my white gel pen to add a little be extra to the lettering without overpowering it.  

To add a little texture to my card, I used a cream-colored flat lace to trim out the .5" strip along the left side of the card.  

I just love the way this card turned out and think that it would be a great note card.  It would also be a wonderful Birthday card depending on what you use for the inside sentiment.

#315 Craft Roulette - Unity Stamp Co.


Hello and happy Sunday!  Today I have a card that I created for the current Craft Roulette Challenge.  I had a couple of ideas but kept getting stumped by the Element parameter - hop(s)/hopping.  I kept looking through my stamps and when I came across this poor little fellow, all I could see was him hopping along with his cane because he had a broken wing.  Perfect! 

Thise weeks parameters:

  • Project - Hello
  • Colors - Strawberry Fields
  • Elements - Hop(s)/hopping
  • Random - Big Letter(s)

The stamp and paper are from Unity Stamp Co.  The stamp is called, Wing and A Prayer and the paper collection is Where Little Gardens Grow.

I colored my little friend with Copic Markers in the following colors:

  • E34, E35, E53
  • YR21, YR14
  • G20, G40, G43
  • R00, R01, E02

For the sentiment, I used Emily Moore Design's, Hi, Hey, Hello Big and Bold Dies.

This was a really fun and quick card to make.  

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a great week!

Arcade Slimline Birthday Card


 Hello!  Today I have the perfect birthday card for that old school arcade game player.  Trinity Stamps has a fun new release that is perfect for a gamer.  

This card features the new Arcade Machine Builder Die Set.  This die set works on their new A-2 Box Card Die Set, but I decided to use it for a shaker card.  

I also really like the new 8-Bit Birthday Stamp and Coordinating Die Set, so I put this card on a slimline base so I could use it as part of the sentiment on the outside of the card.  


I used the 8-Bit Birthday Stamp Set for the inside of the card.  I love how the stamp set gives you so many ways to create the perfect sentiment.  This is the perfect sentiment for the person I have in mind for this card.

I love the way this card turned out and I am sure that I will be using it on future cards - it is perfect for so many people in my card list!

Thank you for stopping by.
