Hello, friends! I’m guest designing for my ultra talented friend, Emily Moore. You might already “know” Emily, too; her work is stunning, and you’ve probably seen it posted around the internet at places like A Cherry on Top Craft Shop, where Emily is a design team member.


What you might not know about Emily: She recently decided to launch her own collection of paper craft supplies, branded with her own name, Emily Moore Designs. Emily’s product offerings thus far include stamps, dies, papers, and even a Card Maker’s Essential Bundle where you can get your hands on her most popular items all at once.


Emily invited me to guest design for her website, and the projects I’m sharing here are ones I’ve made using her dies. I hope you’ll love them!

Emily Moore’s Card Sentiment dies are versatile and practical. If you already own other card making supplies like stamps and patterned papers, you’re likely to find that these dies are the perfect sizes for helping you make the most of your existing craft supply stash.


I used one of the dies from this set to cut out a stamped sentiment image that says “Congratulations” to use on the front of the tan, black and white wedding card. Hero Arts is the manufacturer of the stamp; it’s part of the “Togetherness” stamp set that also includes a stunning flower bouquet and a variety of other sentiments, some of which can also be cut out with Emily Moore’s Card Sentiment dies.


The day I received this die set in the mail, I sat down with these dies and my die cutter, and I cut and stamped my way through a massive pile of scraps that had accumulated in my stash. I stamped and die cut more than 100 sentiments, some of which are ones where that the manufacturer never originally made coordinating dies for. (For example, I don’t think the birthday gift stamp has a corresponding die; although many of the others that found their way into this picture do have coordinating dies, I don’t happen to own any of them).

If you’ve been paper crafting for awhile, and you have stamp sets that were made before the widespread popularization of die cutters, I think this die set is really going to be a useful purchase for you. It will allow you to get a LOT more use out of stamps that are probably just collecting dust in your stash if your current creative process now focuses more on die cutting rather than fussy cutting out your stamped images. And this versatile die set will also expand your options for using many of your current existing stamp sets, even if you already have the matching dies. I am finding new ways to use my stamps to make cute tags, banners, and scrapbooking page titles cut out using Emily Moore’s Card Sentiment Dies.


Just to give you a clearer idea of what is possible: I was able to use these dies to cut out a variety of sentiment stamps and image stamps by Gina K Designs, Lawn Fawn, Pinkfresh Studio and Simon Says Stamp. You’re likely to find many other compatible matches if you pull out your sentiment stamps from virtually any manufacturer, past or present, and pair them up with these dies.

Of course, you’re already aware that when you’ve been invited to a wedding, it’s customary to give the bride and groom-to-be a wedding gift. If they’ve created a gift registry at a popular department store, it’s easy enough to choose a gift from the registry that they’re sure to use.


However, there are many good reasons to skip the gift registry and give them a gift card instead:

  • The couple is likely to need lots of assorted little things like food, cleaning supplies, tape and picture hanging hardware that aren’t necessarily available or worth requesting via a department store gift registry. Your gift card purchase could help to defray the costs of these items, making their transition to married life much easier.
  • If you’ve waited until the last minute to select the gift you’ll give them, their other friends might have already purchased all their gift registry selections — or left only gift registry items that are either beyond your budget or too large and awkward to be easily transported to the wedding.
  • It’s also possible that the couple’s preferred department store doesn’t offer a location that’s within easy driving distance of where you live.
  • If you’re really well acquainted with the couple, you might be aware of needs they have that their department store gift registry doesn’t address. A gift card will allow them to purchase items they might need, but may have been reluctant to request via their gift registry.

So if you’re onboard with giving gift cards, and you’re also a card maker, you can see that this Gift Card Holder Die by Emily Moore Designs could be a really fantastic addition to your craft supplies stash.

Even if you don’t consider yourself to be a card maker, Emily Moore’s Gift Card Holder die could be a worthwhile investment for you if you own a die cutter and frequently give gift cards to other people. Once you own a die cutter plus this die, all it takes is some cardstock or cardstock-weight paper plus paper-friendly adhesive to transform any A2-sized greeting card into a professional-looking, attractive gift card holder that will impress your friends with its beauty and functionality. When you properly attach one of these die cuts to the inside of a greeting card and then place a gift card inside the holder, the gift card will stay safely secured in the greeting card until the recipient is ready to remove it and place it in their wallet or purse.


I think this gift card holder die is really a genius invention. One of the best things about it: You can reuse it as many times as you want to. Whether you need to make one gift card holder, dozens of them, hundreds of them, or even more than that, this die will help you crank out perfectly-cut, elegant looking gift card holders.

So there you have it: wedding card making ideas you can use for making useful wedding or anniversary cards you can present to your loved ones, whether or not you want to include a gift card along with your greeting card. Thanks so much for your interest in these projects! I hope you enjoyed checking out these ideas, and that you’ll be inspired to create some lovely new cards for the people in your inner circle.
