Hello friends. Today I have a couple of cards that I created with the new Curvy Ornaments Nested Dies by Emily Moore Designs. I also used her new Christmas Charms to adorn the ornament hanger. Now, I am all about stretching your stash, so I pulled out her Necklace Dies to embellish my ornaments.
I used the medium sized ornament for these cards. I used the chain from the Necklace Die set that has the little hearts on it. The reason I chose those; I could shape them a little easier than the other dies in that set. I needed to cut that piece out three times in order to have enough chain for each ornament.
For the green ornament, I used a matte gold metallic cardstock, which I thought it gave the ornament an elegant look.
For the red ornament, I wanted a more folksy vibe, so I used a cream-colored cardstock.
I selected the snowflake from the Christmas Charm set and cut them out of a gold glittered cardstock.
The sentiment is Simply Sentimental: Merry Die Set my Trinity Stamps.
I really like the way both of these turned out and look forward to sending them off this season.
Hi friends! I’m excited to share a cute card
I made with the new Full Circle Collection. I’m loving the products in this
release—from the stencil and stamp sets to the dies. They make creating a
beautiful card quick and easy!
I wanted to create my own paper for this project, so I used
the new Dainty
Dots Stencil. I used Catherine Pooler
Inks in, Sparkling
Berry, Aquatini
and Blue
Raspberry. I used white cardstock as
my base and then lightly blended the color all over the paper and then used one
of the stencils to add additional color to make a beautiful tone on tone print.
For the sentiment and main focus on this card, I used the
new stamp set Gentle
Reminder, along with the new Decorative
Circles Die Set. I stamped this on
another piece of cardstock that I inked
with the Catherine
Pooler Aquatini Stamp Pad. I also
dusted the edges of the circle to add a little dimension to the piece.
For the outer edge of the sentiment circle, I used the new Doilies
& Daisies Circle Dies to cut out white cardstock. I glued these layers together.
Next, I cut the Blue Raspberry colored paper to 5.25” x
4.0”. I used that size because I wanted
to have a small border around my design which would finish at an A-2 size,
which is 5.5” x 4.25”.
To add a sweet embellishment to the bottom right corner of
my card, I used the new Buttons
Die Set to cut out the largest heart button from some of the Sparkling
Berry inked paper. While you don’t have
to put anything in the thread holes of the buttons, I chose to add a piece of
white organza ribbon to enhance the delicate feel of this card. Once I had my heart temporarily placed, I
decided to add a little bit of cotton lace across the bottom. That was exactly what was needed to keep the
soft feel of the card.

Hello! I’ve been having the best time playing with the new Full Circle Collection by Emily Moore Designs. I just love how this card turned out with the soft colors and sweet sentiment. I used Catherine Pooler inks to create the paper ribbons and had so much fun weaving them together for the background. I also added a little vellum behind the buttons to keep everything soft and pretty. And that sentiment? It’s just so sweet and encouraging — I love it!
I used a piece of vellum as a background for the buttons. Since vellum can be a bit difficult to adhere to cards without the glue showing, I folded it to the back of the card and then covered my glue dots with the buttons.

How cute is this little guy with a bone almost as big as he is. To make this card, I used the Decorative Sentiments Die Set from Emily Moore Designs. I just love this set, not only is it perfect for cutting out sentiments, it also has some really great shapes that help you to build a card.
The patterned paper that I used is one of my favorites because is so colorful. This collection is from Crafty Stamp Co. and was only available in the March 2026 Crafty Crew Kit.
My little buddy on this card is a stamp set called Puppy Mail from Gerda Steiner Designs. I colored him with Copic Markers in the following Colors:
YR21, YR23, YR24,
R14, R7
For the inside of the card, I used a sentiment that comes with the stamp set. Simple and sweet!
This would be a great card for just a hello or maybe a Birthday!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!
Hello friends! I just received the new release by Emily Moore Designs last week and I thought that I would play with some of the new goodies for this week's Craft Roulette Live challenge. There are so many fun things in this release I was able to use a lot of it for this card.
The parameters:
Project: Gate Fold Card
Colors: Monet
Element: Natural
Random: Crinkle Inkle
Creating the gate fold card was easy and I used some wood grained patterned paper to hit that natural element. The Monet colors I used are Shaded Lilac, Peacock Feathers and Saltwater Taffy - I used these colors to do the Crinkle Inkle on the center circle. Super simple.
On the front of the card, I used the hearts from the Crafty Corner Stamp set, with different colored inks to capture a few more Monet colors. The circle in the center of this card is created with the largest of the circle dies from the new Decorative Circles Die Set. It's a little large, but I wanted to make sure that my word cut from the Hi, Hey Hello Word Die Set would fit on in in addition to a paper button. I decided to layer the two different sizes of hearts from the new Button Dies set rather than have them in two different places. I tied them together with a little pearl rayon thread.
For the sentiment on the inside of the card, I used a stamp from the new Gentle Reminders Stamp set on a piece of cardstock cut with the Decorative Sentiments Die Set.
The back of this card brought a smile to my face. I used the new From The Crafty Corner Stamp Set. I always worry that the cards I create might wind up in the trash and that thought practically makes me hyperventilate.
This was such a fun and quick card to make and I am sure that I will be using this design in the future.

Hello! Today I have a card that celebrates the start of a journey or the journey itself, and the moth is a symbol of change and new beginnings. I am occasionally approached for inspiration cards and I think this one is simple and beautiful.
The background on this card is a shimmery silver cardstock that has been embossed using the Altenew Woven Basket 3D Embossing Folder. Once it is embossed, I used the large rectangle die from Emily Moore Designs Card Sentiment Dies. This die cuts your cardstock at 5.25" x 4.0" which is just perfect because I like to leave a small border around all of my card fronts to "frame" them out.
The sentiment is from an old Honey Bee Stamp Set. I believe it is called Journey. There is also a Journey Die Set that has a simple shadow and a more decorative shadow, which is the one that I used.
The moth is by Emily Moore Designs. It is called Make A Moth: Loralei. I used shimmer card stock for this little guy. One thing that I like to do when I work with these small and intricated dies, is to use an adhesive sheet on the back of the paper, so that it is easier to place those little pieces. When I sit down to make this moth, I like to create several at a time so that I can mix and match different colors and piece. Another thing I also do is combine the different bits and pieces from the other Make A Moth Die Sets. This is a perfect way to stretch not only your dies, but you creativity. I can spend a whole afternoon, playing with these sets.
One of the things I really like to do to tie the whole card together, is use the pieces that are cut from the die that is intended to embellish the moth to actually embellish the rest of the card.
I am just thrilled with how this card turned out. I think the colors are just perfect for a moth. What do you think?

Hello! Do you ever find yourself loving a particular patterned paper and sentiment and not quite sure how to put it together? That is what this post is about.
Emily Moore Designs has a couple of die sets that makes short work of a beautiful card. They are; Card Sentiments Die Set and Decorative Sentiments Die Set.
The paper is from 6" x 8" paper pack by 49 and Market called Whispering Way. I believe it has been discontinued which totally breaks my heart. I used the large rectangle die from the Card Sentiment Die Set. This die cuts your paper to 5.25" x 4.0", which is perfect if you like to have a thin border around you card front. I just leave this die out on my table because I use it for all my A-2 cards. I also used another die from this set to cut out the two thin flags on the upper right corner.
In the Decorative Sentiments Die Set, has a really nice tag die along with another die that fits perfectly on the tag. I used the sentiment from the Unity Stamp Co. Stamp called Jessica Girl. This is one of my favorite sentiments because it is so powerful.
This would be such a great card to give to that one person who has persevered and overcome a difficulty.

Hello! Today I have a card that I created using the Decorative Sentiments Die Set by Emily Moore Designs. I have been collecting 6" x 6" paper packs over the years and they have just been stashed away. I just need to do something with them, so my goal is to use paper from at least two packs three times a month.
Emily Moore Designs has some really great dies that come in sets, that makes a card in less than a half an hour. Who wouldn't just love that????
For this card, I used almost every die in this set and I love the way it turned out.
Emily also has a stamp set called, All The Happy Things, which I have been using a lot. There are a ton of different sentiments included with it and a lot of them are sentiments, that are unusual but often needed. It is a great set and you may want to check it out.

Let me know if you are a paper collector also ....and more importantly, do you actually use it?
Moths are commonly seen as messengers of change, personal growth, and the shedding of old habits to embrace new beginnings. I love making cards like this because it can touch someone on a deeper level and celebrate a new beginning.
I used the Make A Moth: Betty by Emily Moore Designs for the large die cut moth in the corner. When I work with these moths, I made several at a time so that I can mix and match the different colors and elements. The changes are very subtle, but it is always interesting to see which colors pop when you mix them up.
I fell in love with the patterned paper on this card. It is called The Secret Of Change by Unity Stamps. The colors are so fresh and vibrant.
The sentiment is my favorite part of this card. It is from the Journee Girl Stamp Set by Unity Stamps. I often go through many of my stamps looking just for a sentiment. I think this is one way of expanding your stamp collection.
I was so happy with the way this card turned out, that I made a couple more using a different color combination.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have an amazing day!
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.

Part of the fun of making cards is making them for special occasions or people. This card celebrates getting a new fur-iend. I used a few dies from Emily Moore Designs and it couldn't have been easier or quicker.
The products that I used for this card are:
Decorative Sentiments Die Set
Yay Layered Word Die
All The Happy Things Stamp Set
I love that with Emily's dies, all you need are a few sheets of coordinating paper and you have a unique card. I definitely keep the Decorative Sentiments Die right next to my desk.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have an amazing day!!!!
Hi friends! Today I have a card that I made with a couple of the Make A Moth Die
Sets by Emily More Designs.These moths are definitely
speaking to my soul because I keep thinking about different ways to use them on
a card.
I have used two different die sets to make the moths on the
front of this card. I used Make A
Moth Set: Betty for the four “earthy” moths and the Make A Mot Set:
Lorelai for the bright moth in the center of the card. I made four Betty and 1 Lorelai.
I applied double
sided 4”x6” adhesive sheets to the back of the different colors of cardstock
that I am using for my moth friends.
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.
To help me get a more precise placement, I also use a little liquid glue,
which puts a barrier between the adhesive and the cardstock below, giving me a
little wiggle room to place the piece exactly where I want it.
I have used a 3D embossing folder from my stash to emboss a
piece of dark gray cardstock. I used the
rectangle die from the Card Sentiment Dies to cut out my background.
This is one of my favorite dies, because it not only has really nice stitching
detail on the outside edge, it cuts the paper at 5.25” x 4.0” which leave room
for a border. I almost always have a
border on all my cards, I think it is a clean finish that draws all the colors
together.
With my background cut out, I glued my bright pink moth in
the center of it and then placed my four other moths around her. I am not worried about their wings and antenna
hanging off the edge because I will be trimming them off anyway.
Once I have trimmed my moths, I will glue that piece to a
pink piece of cardstock cut to 5.5” x 4.25”
For the sentiment on this card, I used the All The Happy
Things Stamp Set to stamp out “so proud of you” and “you did great”. I used the banner die from the Card
Sentiment Dies set to cut them out. Then I glued them to the front of my
card.
To finish up this card, I attached 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. I also cut a piece of white cardstock to 5.25” x 4.0”
to glue on the inside back panel. I do
this to give a little weight to the back of my card since the front has so many
layers to it.
I think that is such a pretty card and could be used for a
number of different occasions depending on the sentiment you choose.
Thank you for spending a little time with me and I hope you
have been inspired to make a card guaranteed to put a smile on someone’s face.
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.
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.
Thank you for spending a little time with me and I hope you
have been inspired to make a card guaranteed to put a smile on someone’s face.
