Say Hello with a Doggone Cute Design

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a playful handmade card featuring a die-cut dog sporting a baseball cap and a cheerful “Hello” sentiment—created with Spellbinders dies. This lighthearted design is perfect for sending a casual greeting, especially to a young child. I chose fun patterned paper to enhance the relaxed vibe, making the card feel friendly and fresh.

- Cover an A2-size card base with patterned paper.
- Use a die in the Essential Arches set to cut Cascade cardstock. Use the next smallest arch in the set to cut another piece of patterned paper. Attach the two and add to the card base.
- Use dies in the Family & Friends Vignettes set (the March 2025 Large Die of the Month set) to cut the dog and hat. (I used other elements from the kit HERE.) Assemble.
- Cut the sentiment with a die in the Fresh Picked Sentiments set (twice for extra depth).
- Add dog and sentiment to the prepared card base.
