Technique Tuesday - October 2024 - Partial Die Cutting
Time for another Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. This month our theme is "Partial Die Cutting". I used the Spotlight on Nature Bundle for this pretty card in Petunia Pop. This is one of my favourite bundles in the Annual Catalogue - perfect for simple stamping or for a technique such as partial die cutting!
If you've never tried partial die cutting, you might be a little intimidated with it to start, but once you've figured out which way to cut, you're golden. Trust me, I've cut the wrong way multiple times before I figured it out! Check out the cards in our Blog Hop to be inspired and get some great tips!
Isn't this a pretty card!
Instructions
- Cut Petunia Pop cardstock 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4". Fold and burnish on scoreline using Bone Folder to form card base.
- Lay largest circle die from Spotlight on Nature Dies on front of card - make sure your card base is unfolded or you will cut through both front and back!
- Use a post it not to hold in place.
- Place on Stampin' Cut n' Emboss Platform 1 and 2.
- Position the second cutting plate on top of half of the die which you want to cut through - for this card that is the right hand side of the card base. With Partial Die Cutting, you will cut only where the top cutting plate is positioned.
- Run through Stampin' Cut n' Emboss Machine - one tip is to run through with the longest end of the top cutting plate going through first. If you try to run through with the the other way, your cutting plate will slip and you won't cut where you want to!
- Once the circle is partially cut, you will need to cut down from the top to the edge of the circle and repeat on the bottom - this frees the piece of cardstock around the circle.
- Cut Designer Series Paper 1 1/4" x 5 1/4" and adhere to the left side of the card base.
- Cut out circle from Basic White cardstock using second largest Spotlight on Nature Die.
- Stamp flower on Basic White circle using Petunia Pop ink
- Adhere to card base using Dimensionals.
- Cut Petunia Pop cardstock 1/2" x 1".
- Stamp sentiment on Petunia Pop cardstock using Petunia Pop ink.
- Adhere to card base.
- Adhere Petunia Pop Shimmer Gems
- Cut Designer Series Paper (different pattern than on card front) 4" x 5 1/4"
- Adhere to inside of card.
- Cut out circle from Basic White cardstock using second largest Spotlight on Nature Die.
- Stamp cross hatch on Basic White circle using Petunia Pop ink.
- Adhere to the inside of the card base so that it is hidden under the front larger circle.
