Hello, crafty friends! Do you ever sit down to start a specific project but get sidetracked and feel the need to do something else instead? These cards were made under those exact circumstances. I started putting away the cards I made for my Happy Haunting Collection Spellbinders Guest Post and just had to use some of these products and the same colour palette again.
The focus of all three cards is the Woof-or-Treat dies. They're supposed to be puppies but to me they're capybaras, which my family is completely obsessed with right now. Besides, baby capybaras are called pups. ;) We even got Jellycat Clyde as soon as it was released - mind you, it was so popular, we had to wait until its third production batch!
Right now, I'm completely obsessed with the Perfect Touch Rectangles and used the largest one (A2-sized) on this card, cut from Eggplant cardstock. I heat foiled the sentiment Skully Press Plates using Matte Silver Hot Foil.
The pups on this card were cut from Slate Gray cardstock, their ghost sheets were cut from Fog, their legs and noses were cut from Pink Sand, and the pumpkin baskets were cut from Meadow and Peacock cardstock, and Glitter Bright Green and Glitter Teal foam sheets. The tiny decorative bats are from the Haunted House set and was cut from Onyx cardstock.
This second card also features the Perfect Touch Rectangles but I used the second largest cut from Spiced Cider cardstock so I could use a border of patterned paper. I wish I had the Spider Web Background so I was happy to find Boo Pumpkins which features a great webbed design on the back. It wasn't quite dark enough so I used Black Soot Distress Ink on the edges.
This time, the pups were cut from Pale Rose cardstock, their ghost sheets were cut from Snowdrift, their legs and noses were cut from Pink Sand, and the pumpkin baskets were cut from Meadow and Peacock cardstock. The witch's hat is from the Witchin' Heels set and was cut from Glitter Teal foam sheets.
The sentiment is from the Halloween Icons Press Plates and it's one of my favourite Halloween sets with the best sentiments. I heat foiled this sentiment using White Hot Foil on Onyx cardstock. I love the clean look, as if it's white embossed but so much easier!
My last card also features one of the September 2024 Monthly Club Kits from Spellbinders. I don't normally showcase the 3D embossing folder but, to my delight, this amazing "Pumpkin Patch" 3D Embossing Folder of the Month was included in my package this month. Club Kits close on the 27th of each month so get them while you can!
The first step was to mist water on the Onyx cardstock, emboss it with the Pumpkin Patch 3D Embossing Folder and let it dry. I die cut the pups from Spiced Cider cardstock, their ghost sheets were cut from Pale Rose, their legs and noses were cut from Pink Sand, and the pumpkin baskets were cut from Meadow and Peacock cardstock, and Glitter Bright Green and Glitter Teal foam sheets. The sentiment, also from Halloween Icons, was heat foiled Matte Silver Hot Foil on Peacock cardstock.
These pups are cute enough on their own but I had to use wiggly eyes on all of them to amp up the cute factor! They come in various sizes and you can also get enamel eyes for a different look. I hope you enjoyed this post featuring three same but different cards featuring the Woof-or-Treat pups! My son's favourite is the one with the Pumpkin Patch background. Which one is yours?
