Product Description:

We are very excited to add some spookier and maybe a little bit scarier images to our 2025 Gothic Halloween collection, while also continuing with our Cathedral theme - so Gargoyles were a must have addition to our collection, since they usually sit as “water-spouts” and “city-observers” at the very top of old European cathedrals and churches. They are a bit spooky, but also a lot of fun to paper piece. This set here includes a very cool gargoyle gate. You will receive a left and a right sided gargoyle gate that can flank your A7 Cathedral die with Each of the gargoyles sits atop a very tall banister and the banister is connected to an intricate metal die look like fencing. You can position the two gates side by side and prop the fence line open to allow just a little sneak peak inside your card.

The gargoyles, especially their wings are pretty detailed and invite you to bring out your various gray and stone colored card stocks and maybe intermingle those with some specialty silver or specialty card-stocks to create your very own epic gargoyles. Combine this die with the other gargoyle sets or with the a grim reaper and you will have the beginnings of an epic Halloween card.

This Metal Craft Die can be combined with any other products/ images from our latest Gothic Halloween collection, which released in August 2025 and that are sold separately.

We will be sharing technique tutorials and many beautiful trifold pop up cards, tunnel shadow box cards and other gorgeous 3D card design samples on our YouTube channel and our design team is also ready to create some fabulous trifolds and other interactive cards this year- so please keep your eye open on our social media and on our “Scrappy Tails Crafters” Facebook fan page. 

Directions for metal craft die use:

1. Gently remove the metal craft die from it’s packaging
2. Using your favorite die-cutting machine, lay a piece of strong card-stock facing the sharp edges of the die and run the required “plate sandwich” through your machine (please note that different machines use different die-cutting sandwiches)
3. These dies are thin steel dies and they work in most available manual and automatic die cutting machines, such as your Vagabond, Cuttlebug, Gemini, Gemini junior, Spellbinder’s Platinum, Big Kick, Big Shot etc.
4. Dies work on different thin materials, including paper, cardstock, specialty foiled or glitter papers
5. Share your beautiful projects with us at #scrappytailscrafts
