Partial die cutting allows you to get creative in your card making and create unique card bases or card elements. Ad
Visual supply list below.
The first ccard uses the You inspire Me press plate to foil the image on Hammermill cardstock with Espresso Bean Glimmer foil using the Glimmer system. The Image is coloured with Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol. The Image is cut out with the coordingting You Inspire Me die set and that same die us used to Partial die cut the edge of the card creating a unique card base. Sparkle Gold Illusion gems are added to the Card base to add extra sparkle. Peridot cardstock is added to the Inside of the Plum card base for a pop of colour.
The second card uses the same You Inspire Me press plate as the first card. This time it is used in the betterpress system with Versamark ink and Heat embossed with silver embossing powder. The plum card base with the Heat embossed image is partial die cutusing the coordinating You Inspire Me die. The image is coloured using the coordinating You Inspire Me layering stencil set with Interference ink pads. A sentiment from the You Inspire Me clear stamp set is Heat embossed on a piece of Plum cardstock with silver embossing powder. Mermaid Lagoon interference ink is then blended on top of it followed by Warm Chestnut interference ink just along the edge to coordinate with the stencilled Floral image. Once finished that piece is glued to the back of the partial die cut card front.
For card three, the Floral Images and a sub-sentiment from the You Inspire Me clear stamp set is used in the Misti stamping tool to Heat emboss the images with Rose Gold Embossing powder on Hammermill cardstock. The Images are coloured using the coordinating You Inspire Me layering stencil set with Distress and Interference inks and then die cut with the coordinating dies. The layers of the Hey sentiment is partially die cut on an angle on the top layers of the card for a unique look. The top layer of the Hey sentiment is die cut out of Rose Gold cardstock from the Rose Gold Treasured cardstock pack. Some of the smaller florals are tucked behind that die cut Hey on the card front. The Large floral piece is placed on top of that Hey sentiment without hiding too much of it. After trying out the sub-sentiment strip that was heat embossed on white cardstock and not liking how it looked, I re-did the sentiment on Vellum and added to the front of the card over the florals. The florals are finished off with dots of Rose Gold stickles on the flower centres.
