    Creating Christmas Cheer with the Cats and Pugs Collection

    July 21, 2024 / 4 Comments

    The holiday cardmaking season is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than with handmade cards featuring adorable pugs and cats? This is Jean Manis and I’m excited to share three Christmas cards I created with die sets in the Spellbinders Cats and Pugs Collection by Bibi Cameron. Let’s dive into the details, and I’ll provide tips and tricks for working with these sets. These intricate sets are like jigsaw puzzles; they require careful planning, cutting, and assembly, but the results are truly rewarding. Before cutting, I recommend printing out the die set parts image from the product page. This allows you to make notes and identify parts as…

    Cute Critter Cards with Bibi’s Cats and Pugs Collection

    July 20, 2024 / 2 Comments

    Hi, friends! I’m Lauren Taylor Made and I’m so excited to be here on the Spellbinders Blog to share with you a few cute critter cards with the new Bibi’s Cats and Pugs Collection! When I saw the Big Cat Etched Die Set, I just knew it would make the perfect black cat and I thought it would be fun to give it a Halloween feel. I started with all of my die cutting from Spellbinders Cardstock – the cat pieces are cut from Onyx with the exception of the eye pieces that I cut from White and Fern, inside ears and nose from Barely Peach, tongue from Dahlia and…

    Cats & Pugs Galore

    July 19, 2024 / No Comments

    Hello crafty friends!  It’s Rachel Alvarado from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com. I am happy to share some fun projects that I made using the new and super adorable Bibi’s Cats & Pugs Collection. I fell in love with this entire collection from the start and had so much fun playing with each set! My first project is a 9” x 4” slimline card that showcases five sweet little pugs that I created using the Party Puggles Etched Dies. To start my card, I first created my pugs by die-cutting all of my pieces from a variety of Spellbinders colored card stock. I then added some quick ink blending with a dome-shaped blending tool…

    It’s Raining Pugs and Cats

    July 18, 2024 / 3 Comments

    Hi everyone, Ilina Crouse here, and I am thrilled to be on the Spellbinders blog. I love dogs, also cats, but dogs are my favorite, but when it comes to crafting I love them both equally and the new Bibi’s Cats and Pugs just hits right. I love the large-sized pug, card and bicycle and they are perfect for making shaped cards. Also, the dies that create smaller pugs and cats are also amazing and perfect to add one, or more to a card. There are so many amazing products in the Bibi’s Pugs and Cats collection so, I had to use all of the products to create my projects…
