Over the weekend, I dove into the Spellbinders November Club Kits, and oh my goodness – this month is pure joy. Think doggies with attitude, girl-power energy, and friendship vibes, all wrapped up in dies, stamps, stitching, BetterPress, and texture galore.

I mixed and matched several of the clubs – stitching, BetterPress, the Clear Stamp and Die, the Stencil and the 3D Embossing Folder – and crafted my way to two pup-themed cards that are equal parts cute and stylish. One of them even features a sweet little chihuahua-style pup colored to look just like our Lil’ Miss Bailey (even if she is a Corgi, haha), because of course she needed her crafting debut!

If you’re a fan of whimsical characters, cozy textures, and dogs that steal the spotlight, you’re going to love these.

Products Used for the Walkies & Warm Hugs Doggy in the purse card:

How to create the Walkies & Warm Hugs Card #1

1 – Stitch Up That Stylish Pup Purse

Start by die cutting the purse pieces from Teal Topaz cardstock.

Grab your needle and gold DMC thread and add those sweet quilted stitches – this purse has designer doggie energy.

Once stitched, die-cut the solid background, glue the two layers together and let it dry.

While you wait, assemble the handle with gold hardware accents (you know ….luxury walkies only).

2 – Build Your Best Furry Friend

Die-cut the pup from white cardstock and gently ink blend with Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide to give her that warm Bailey glow.

Because our girl Bailey is a fashion icon, she wears a bright pink harness – so her seater gets cut from Tutu and Dahlia cardstock.

Glue her all together and tuck her adorably into the purse. (She’s ready for brunch and a boutique stroll).

3 – Create the card base (a Cozy Little Scene)

Cut a top-folding A2 card base (4-1/4″ x 11″ score and fold at 5-1/2″).

Layer a black panel 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ over the card front for contrast.

Next, cut a panel of Dahlia cardstock to 4″ x 5-1/4″ and emboss it with the Petite Tuft Embossing Folder.

PRO-TIP – lightly spritz the panel with water before embossing for maximum pillowy dimension.

Adhere the embossed panel tot he card base.

4 – Add the Sentiment and Sparkle

Use the Paws In the City BetterPress club set to foil your sentiment in gold on black cardstock.

Die-cut the sentiments and choose one to attach to your card with foam squares.

Pop the purse and pup on with foam as well for extra lift.

Finish with a sprinkle of Fashion Jet Self-Adhesive Embellishments because every stylish dog needs a little sparkle.

How to create the Walkies & Warm Hugs Card #2

1 – create the card base:

Start with a classic A2-sized white card base – it’s the perfect stage for our stylish stroll!

Add a 4″ x 5-1/4″ black cardstock panel for a touch of drama.

Next, place a piece of white cardstock trimmed to 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″ onto your craft tacky mat and stencil away using the Cherry Chic November Stencil of the Month.

Ink Used: Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated: Limelicious, Pearfection, Bubblegum, Carnation, Sweets and Taffy. A sweet, sherbet-inspired combo that’s positively paw-some!

Once the ink has dried, attach the stenciled panel to the card front, and stamp your sentiment below the image in crisp black ink.

2 – Stamp the Go To Girl:

Stamp the Go To Girl in Memento Black Ink – she’s ready to strut her stuff with her tiny four-legged companion!

Color her up using these copic Markers:

Pinks: RV21, RV13, RV02, RV25,
Skin and Pup: E50, E51, E21, E11,
Hair E50, E53, E55.

Next, use the two smaller scallop frames from the Lisa Horton Bow and Bell collection to die cut the image and a Tutu-colored mat layer.

Adhere the two layers together, then pop them up with foam tape for extra dimension – because every brunch date deserves a little lift!

PRO-TIP:

Switch up her outfit colors to match your own brunch style! A sunny yellow beret or minty green handbag could make the cutie look runway-ready.
