Love the technique! The cards are gorgeous. Can’t wait to try this.
Great technique! Beautiful cards.
Absolutely awesome! I’m going to try something similar tonight :D
Oh wow–one of my all-time favorite projects! Thanks for the inspiration!
I enjoy your lessons, Jennifer. I want to make some cards similar to these. Thanks for the tips. Who would have thought of using Fun Foam to make something pop?
Oh, my goodness! These are just lovely. I can’t wait to give this a try. I know my mother-in-law would love a set of these.
Love these cards & that technique! I can always count on Jennifer for some inspiration :)
Jennifer is one of favorites! I learn so much from here! SSS blog has great designers!
Really nice cards and I like the idea of using fun foam. I would like to make a set for my wonderful neighbors.
Lovely technique!
Jennifer always has great ideas!
Awesome technique. Love the soft colors.
Those cards are so elegant. Really beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration.
These are so delicate and beautiful! TFS!!!
I so want to try this!
Such gorgeous cards and fabulous technique! Thanks for sharing!
I think Jennifer has my favorite videos of anyone. Thanks for sharing!
Love these Jennifer and so simple!! Thanks for sharing!
Jennifer is amazing and everything she does is gorgeous, these cards being no exception.
I am boing to go try this tonight! What a fun idea!
What a fantastic technique! I never would have thought of it! I’ve seen the dies with words intended to be on the edge, but this partial die technique is fantastic! And I love the addition of dotted line she added with the Paper Smooches die — genius!
Very cool effect and variety with that non-border die! I love Jennifer’s use of a big piece of craft foam. It is much less expensive than the sticky stuff!
Such a great technique! Love to get more out of my supplies, so this is one to try!
Love this technique, must hunt out some dies to use.
Oh la la! These are beautiful and a new way to use dies. Thanks.
Love your ideas!! Thanks for the tips!
Absolutely beautiful. Have tried partial die-cutting twice with some success, but it took me forever; I kept double(triple)-checking. Taping the plates- a simple but brilliant idea. Also love the fun foam tip. Definitely will try this soon.
How very clean and easy to make!
beautiful set of cards.
Great technique!! Very pretty cards!!
Such a versatile card design and another wonderful tip on how to get the most out of our dies. Thanks Jennifer and SSS!
Just when I think I have everything that I need for card making along comes another wonderful video from Jennifer and I’m off to SSS to buy some more goodies! Absolutely gorgeous cards!
Oh wow…love the colors, the intricate dies…everything!
Partial Die cutting is always miraculous to me and your cards are beautiful!
I love Jennifer’s projects…she has so much talent and creativity!
These would make a lovely gift for someone.
Jennifer, you’ve done it again!! These tips for dies are fantastic as always! Now allI need to do is go through mine and play/experiment!!! Thanks to SSS too for having awesome designers!!!
Very pretty note cards. The video for partial die-cutting was so nice and easy to follow on the video. Jennifer always has such great techniques to share with us.
Really soft an gorgeous!~kim
Jennifer is AMAZING, as always. Love this idea.
Gorgeous cards – I love Jennifer’s work. I follow the blog by email.
That design was great for a set of note cards. You son’s teacher will love them!
Wow, Jennifer came out with another great technique. I will try this technique for a birthday card that I will be making soon for my cousin.
Absolutely gorgeous! I’m a Jennifer-follower and love her videos and techniques, and this set of cards is no exception! TFS!
So pretty you have just determined what some of my family members are getting for Christmas next year!!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Beautiful Cards and another amazing Video by Jennifer! I just LOVE this technique and how she showed every detail on how to make it work perfectly. I admit, it looks wonderful, but I’ve been a bit afraid to try for fear of a FAIL! LOL! One of these days, I’m going to do it exactly like she did…step by step, so it works for me! So happy that she shares these awesome tips with us all! The design is so pretty and the cards are truly a wonderful gift I’ll bet Colin’s teacher will adore them! I would, that’s for sure! I also LOVE the die that Jennifer used today, and have added it to my SSS Wish List!! Happy Christmas to you all!!
Such amazing cards!! I love Jennifer’s style:)
This technique makes it seem like i have a whole new set of dies! Thanks for the share. Gorgeous cards.
These cards are rich and luxurious. Simply gorgeous!
These are so beautiful and love how they are partially cut and such a wonderful softness of color on top!
