Party Piggy


 Do you ever need a quick birthday card and don't want to spend a whole lot of time coloring?  This was a fun card to make because I let patterned paper do all the work.  

The patterned paper and stamp set is from Crafty Stamp Co.  The stamp set is Party Piggies and the patterned paper collection is called Party Power.  It is one of my favorites because the colors are so vivid and bright.  Right up my alley.

This card was based on a sketch, and I just love all the different angles and edges.

The Journey Moth


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?
