A Lorelai Hi!

Hi there card makers!  I seem to have a slight obsession with the Make A Moth Die Sets by Emily Moore Designs.  I just love how you can mix up the little bits and pieces that come with the die an if you combine the different sets, then you have even more goodies to play with.  

As I was making another card with a number of moths, I got to playing around with the placement of them and figured out that they looked really neat in a circle.  I loved that idea because it left room for one of the Hi, Hey, Hello Word Dies - Big & Bold sentiments.  All three of the dies fit if you are wondering.  

I made five moths using the Make A Moth: Lorelai die set.  However, I also used the little die from Make A Moth: Betty that cuts out the little decorations for more decorating options.  

I arranged and glued four of my moths on a piece of teal cardstock that I had embossed using the Altenew Woven Basket 3-D Folder.  I also splattered it with a little metallic gold watercolor mixed really thin.  

I cut my teal paper, at 5.25" x 5.25" and glued it to a 5.5" x 5.5" piece of cardstock.  I didn't factor in the depth that the layers of cardstock created, so it wouldn't fit in the envelopes that I purchase for my square cards.  When I make this card again, I will reduce my background pieces by .25".  The wings on the moth might extend off the inside layer of cardstock but I think it will still look fine.

To create the card base, I cut a piece of cardstock 5.5" x 11.0".  I scored it at 5.5" and folded it in half.

I cut another piece of white cardstock at 5.25" x 5.25".  I used the All The Happy Things Stamp Set for the inside sentiment.  I also glued my fifth moth inside for a little extra embellishment. 

I have a very short YouTube video linked below if you would like to follow along with the process.  

I just Love! Love! Love! this card even if it was a little bit too big for my envelope and I had to make my own.  It was a good little mistake because now I know what will work better.  What does Bob Ross call those?  Happy Little Mistakes - I think.

Thank you for stopping by today.
