Hello and happy July! Today, I am sharing two CAS projects created with the July Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “Besties Forever” ($12.50 with US shipping included in the cost!). The dies to create the cat and dog are included in the kit, as well as the grass border die, the sentiment dies, and the two bone dies.
On my first card, I used both the cat and dog dies included in the set, along with the “Besties Forever” die-cut sentiment, to create a friendship card.
- I cut the pieces for the dog and cat and assembled the pieces with glue. I used my rotary trimmer to cut the cat’s whiskers. It took some experimentation to get the right size for these.
- I cut the bones and glued them to the light-blue background.
- I cut the grass and attached it to the background.
- I added the die-cut sentiments with glue and the assembled cat and dog with foam adhesive.
On my second card, I used color and repetition to create a friendship card with the cat dies. It would be easy to do something similar with the dog faces and a dog-themed sentiment.
- I cut the cat faces and collars from a variety of cardstock colors.
- I assembled the pieces with glue.
- I heat-embossed the sentiment and cut it with a circle die.
- I attached the cats to the circle and attached the circle to the card base, which measures 5″ x 5″ with a 4 3/4″ x 4 3/4″ blue square background.
Thanks so much for visiting today!
