Wow great inspiration for partial die cutting – love it, thanks Jennifer!
Love the cards Jennifer. I have not tried partial die cutting, but you have inspired me to try this technique now and what a great idea to make these cards as a gift. They are so beautiful. The possibilities of using different dies for this technique are endless. I am going to go and try this out ….. and I have some of that craft foam sitting in my grandson’s craft drawer – hope he is not going to miss it. Thank you for this great idea.
Great video – I would love to try the technique with a text die – make a boarder with one word for example…
The pretty delicate die border trims this off nicely.
