With Sympathy

 Hello again!

I am sharing another card today, this time using products from Pixi Dust Designs. I don't usually make Sympathy Cards as I find it hard to get out the right balance of sympathy, respect and dignity, but this card I think fills all the requirements.

I started with a black base, then added the Damask background die in white. Then using the Daffodil Die Set I cut out the sentiment in black. The flower I cut out in white and colored with my copics. So elegant and easy to make. Of course you can use the daffodil die set for many other occasions by swapping out the sentiment. 

Let me know what you think and if you make sympathy cards. Thanks for stopping by!

Birthday Cake

 

PINK AND CHOCOLATE GIFT CARD HOLDER

 

Hello everyone, today I want to share with you how I made this fun chocolate cake gift card holder card using all Products from Emily Moore Designs.

 

                                                                        

PRODUCTS USED

Make a cake gift card holder die

Happy Birthday Short and Sweet die

Shaker Frame Die Doily

Liquid glue

Foam tape

Sprinkles

Cardstock of your choice

Glitter or glitter glue

 

First I started by die cutting what I needed. Starting with a card base of 4 ¼ x 5 ½,  I put the die with a bit off the paper so it would leave me the fold for the card.

           

                                                               

 

Next, I die cut two of the cake layers in chocolate, two of the top frosting in pink, I also cut the cake layers in pink just to use the frosting part as you can see, I need 6 of these. I cut the sentiment and the sentiment shadow in coordinating colors. Also, the frosting dollops and one doily.

 

 

Then I proceeded to glue the cake layers to the outside and inside of the card. Careful on the inside not to put glue on the tabs for the gift card. (learned the hard way haha).

 

                                     

 

Followed by the frosting layers. Two fit in the die perfectly, the third I placed on the top.

I then added the frosting on top of the layers on both the inside of the card and the card front. You can see it all coming together now!

                                             

 

After gluing the sentiment to the sentiment shadow, I adhered it to the inside of the card on the left, thus leaving the right side for a gift card.

 

 

                                    

 Using foam tape, I put some on the dollops of frosting and I used liquid glue for the frosting border. I then applied all of these to the front of the card.

   

                                                              

                                                      

Next, I took the doily I had die cut and cut both ends off at ¾ of an inch. I am using this to add some extra icing to the cake top.

 

         

                                                  I then glued it to the top of the cake on the front to look like two big dollops of frosting. From there I proceeded to add some sprinkles for that fun birthday affect! I went ahead and added some glitter glue too. You could skip this part or add some glitter, whatever makes you smile!

 

 

                                          

 

I hope this inspires you to go out and create something fun!

Overthinking

 Hello Everyone,

Today I am sharing a super fun card I made using the newly released Wild and Free Stamp and Die set from The Rabbit Hole Designs. 

I have also used several other items such as this awesome bird from the Squawk Talk Stamp set, the sentiment is from the Sassy Sentiment Guy Stuff, and the clouds I made using the Clouds in my Coffee  Stencil. I hand drew the tree trunk. 

I colored the images with copic markers and used distress inks for the stenciled clouds. You can check out all these products here:

Birthday Trellis

Hello Everyone,

Today I am sharing this fun and fabulous card I made using the Pixi Dust Elegant Trellis Background Die.  I also used the Classic Sentiments die and the You're a Cute Tea Paper. 

I used a 5.5 x 4.25 card base, added a piece of paper from the You're a cute Tea paper for the background. Then I cut the trellis background from a piece of cardstock. I added some sprinkles and popped the trellis with foam tape on top. 

Finally I added the sentiment. Easy peasy!

Pocket Die

 Good Morning,

I am sharing today this fun card I made using the Filigree Pocket Die from Pixi Dust Designs. I made this the focal point of my card. I also used paper from the You're A Cute Tea paper pack. The sentiment I chose is from the Classic Sentiment Dies. This was such a simple card to create and obviously you could change out the sentiment for any occasion. And since it is a pocket die you could put a gift card in the pocket also!

Wild and Free

 Hello Everyone,

Such a new, exciting release today from The Rabbit Hole Designs. I am using the Wild and Free Stamp set. This set is sooooo cute. For my card I stamped the same image 3 times to look like a pride walking together. I then colored them with my copic markers. 

I created the sun by masking off a circle and using distress oxide inks to create a hot sunny sky. After I pulled off the circle I added just a hint of yellow to it. A little brown ink on the ground and a quick sentiment and we are all set to go! How cute and how fast!

New Design Team

 Hello Friends,

I am excited to share with you today that I have recently joined the Emily Moore Design Team! I am really happy to be able to create with such fun products. Here is my first project! 

For this project I used:

• Happy Birthday Word Dies short and sweet
• Shaker Frame Die-The Doily
• Vertical Pocket Die
• Clear Acetate Sheet
• Foam Tape
• Double sided tape 
• Cardstock
• Sprinkles

How fun is this? So easy to make to. Definitely can customize to suit any personality. Let me show you what I did to create this. 

First I cut out all the die shapes. You can see here what colors I did what. 

Then I took my copics and just popped on some polka dots to the sentiment. After that I glued the words to the background sentiment. 

I then chose to do the inside of the card which I used a blue base so I wanted to add some white paper to the inside so you can write in it and see it clearly. Then I took my pocket die and creased the folds so I could glue it to the inside of the card thus creating a pocket for a gift card or cash! 

 

I then took the front panel and added some acetate over the opening and some foam tape around the edges, careful not to let it show from the front. 

Then using sprinkles of your choice I placed a pile on the front of the card and then glued the topper over them to create a shaker card. 

                                                

I then put some foam tape on the back of the word Happy. I glued the word birthday right to the card and then popped the word Happy above it! 

So easy and so fun! 

I hope you enjoyed this and will go check out some of these products in the shop here

Damask

 Good Morning Friends, 

Today I am excited to share with you part of the new release over at Pixi Dust Designs. For my card today I am using the new Damask Background Die along with the Classic Sentiments die set. Also I have used the Calla Lilies Die set which is not new but a perfect staple to own. 

For this card I used a purple cardstock to cut out the damask background, which I then glued to bright green paper. I then cut out the calla lilies and colored them distress inks. I proceeded to pop them on the card using foam tape to add a bit of dimension. The sentiment is self explanatory just cutting it from coordinating papers. 

Such a fun, bright way to let someone know you care! I hope you will stop by and check out the whole release and see what the design team has been up to.

Purple Bestie

 Hello Again!

Sharing another card today, this time it is a Mother's Day Card. I am using the Best-tea die set from Pixi Dust Designs. 

This set is so versatile. If you go to the website you can see some of the great designs by the Design Team members.  It is so easy to create. I literally just cut out all the pieces, stamped the sentiment which comes with the die set (awesome) and attached it to some fun papers. I also put a little distress ink on the cheeks for a sweet blush. 

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you will pop over to Pixi Dust Designs for some inspiration for your next crafty project.

Orange Peony

 Hello Everyone, 

Today I am sharing this fabulous card using the One Line Peony from The Rabbit Hole Designs. I also used the splish splash stencil to create the polka dots. The sentiment is from the Sentimentally Speaking stamp set. 

I used the Misti Lite to line up my stamp and moved it around all four corners, careful not to ink or stamp the line part. I then used the stencil and some distress ink along with the Bitty Bunny Blending Brush to ink the circles. 

I colored the flowers with my Copic markers and added the sentiment! What a fun and colorful way to say thank you!

You should definitely check out these brushes, so affordable and perfect for small stuff. Shop here

This was so easy to create by using the die set. I just cut out the pieces in colors I love and glued them together. I added a bit of distress ink on the house just because. 

The corgi, grass and dish I stamped, colored with my copics and then cut using the die set. Easy Peasy. Think of all the possibilities with this set! Would make an awesome party invitation or a congrats on your new puppy! You get the idea!
