Stampendous Hugs Collection at Spellbinders

Hello! Today I am delighted to share two cards created with products in the just-released Stampendous Hugs Collection at Spellbinders. From a charming die-cut dog proudly holding a trophy to another adorable pup clutching a present, this collection can be used to easily create cards for a variety of occasions. The Stampendous Puppy Hugs set, which I used on both cards, is designed to work with the collection’s Puppy Hugs Faces and Sentiments (not shown).

With the sentiment “Time to Celebrate,” the first card can commemorate special moments or victories, such as a grade school graduation or a trip to the Little League All Stars, to name a few.

• • Cut dog body from Beeswax cardstock with die in the Stampendous Puppy Hugs set. Cut eyes from Onyx cardstock and cheeks and nose from pink cardstock. Cut trophy from gold foil cardstock. Assemble.
  • Create background by dry-embossing light blue cardstock with the Stargazer embossing folder.
  • Glimmer foil in gold a sentiment in the More Sentiments set on dark gray cardstock. Trim and add to background; attach to A2-size card base.
  • Embellish with additional stars cut with dies in the Stampendous Puppy Hugs set.

The second card, with a feminine color palette, was designed with a girl’s birthday in mind.

• • Cut dog from flocked white cardstock with die in the Stampendous Puppy Hugs set. Cut eyes from Onyx cardstock and cheeks and nose from Pink Sand cardstock.
  • Cut hair ribbons and package pieces with dies in the Stampendous Hugs Accessories set from Pink Sand and Waterfall cardstock. Note: The package is designed to be folded or partially folded; I cut the package piece on the score lines so it would lie flat.
  • Create background by dry-embossing light blue cardstock with the Puff Dotty embossing folder.
  • Glimmer foil in gold a sentiment in the Birthday Unboxing set on light gray cardstock. Trim and add to background; attach to A2-size card base.
  • Add dog to card, folding one arm over as if to hold the package. Note: both of the arms can be folded inwards.
  • Embellish with Gold Mix Gems.
