Cute Pet Rub On Transfers- Made Easy

Hi Crafters,

Isn’t it fun to mix elegance with a little whimsy? Today’s project is just that—a gorgeous, layered birthday card with a playful twist using our Cute Pet Rub Ons and more. It’s the perfect way to surprise someone with a card that’s equal parts charming and refined. What’s great is this set lets you play with: adorable pet rub ons, intricate concentric dies, vivid patterned papers, rich gold foil cardstock, floral embellishments, and ready-to-go card bases with envelopes.

Let’s make something special together!

First, use the Birthday Wishes 3D Concentric Dies to cut a background from matte gold foil, a pink, medium layer from Perfect Palette cardstock, and a top layer from a floral pattern in the Annalise paper set.

Next, choose a cat (or pup!) from the Cute Pet Rub Ons and place it over a portion of your Annalise floral paper. Leave the protective film on for now, align a shadow layer die over it, then run it through your machine. It will cut and transfer at the same time!

Use a pink card base from the Impression Die Cards and Envelopes set (find similar here). Adhere your gold diecut layer directly to the front. Add a ribbon bow at the top if you like!

Attach the Annalise floral diecut layer using foam adhesive for extra dimension. Tuck floral stickers into the top right and bottom left corners.

Add your pink striped shadow layer with more foam adhesive. Then, layer on a few more floral embellishments from Annalise in the same corners to build even more beauty.

Carefully peel and place your rub on transfer layer on top. It’s now the star of the show!

Finish it off with a “Happy Birthday” sticker near the bottom for the perfect final touch.

This card is such a joyful way to celebrate someone’s special day— especially if they’re an animal lover! This card is purrrrrrfect to help them celebrate! Whether you’re creating for a cat fan or a dog devotee, these Cute Pet Rub Ons are so much fun to work with.
