Hello crafty friends, I’m sharing 5 creative Cats & Pugs shaped card ideas and tips using the big dies in the Spellbinders Bibi’s Cats & Pugs Collection.
Cats & Pugs Shaped Cards
Top Tip : Self-Healing Mats
As I mentioned in the video, I love making shaped cards because they eliminate all the guessing when designing.
I used the self-healing mats here instead of the cutting plate that goes underneath the paper. These are affordable, do not crack, and provide the silkie look and feel to the back of the paper ( no marks, no scratches).
Any standard self-healing mat will work.
After neatly partially die-cutting the borders, we only need to glue the die-cut image aligned with the border, add a decorative element to the background (if we want to), and add a sentiment. Done!
There are several ways to do this here are pictures of the samples in the video:

Bicycle Card
Remember, we create the same folds and borders using any large outline die.
Here is a sample using the big bike die set.
This is a 5×7-inch card.
It features a partially die-cut front panel.
You can add a top fold to the card base so the message won’t be seen in the front.
