Partial Die Cut Card




This card is so much fun! Choose a stamp that you like and the coordinating die, gather the paper listed below and you are ready to create!!

*Cardbase - solid cardstock 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
*mats - a different cardstock  4" x 5 1/4"   and   2 1/8" x 4 5/8"
*Basic White cardstock   3 3/4" x 5"   and 2" x 4 1/2" (this piece can also be a Designer Series Paper)

You'll also need coordinating inks, tools to color your stamped image if needed, and embellishments if desired.

You can see the video demonstrating this card either on Facebook or on YouTube


On my card I used Pale Papaya cardbase. My mats were Soft Succulent. Then I had my Basic White     3 3/4" x 5" piece and the Designer Series Paper is the New Horizons cut at 2" x 4 1/2". 

I adhered my Soft Succulent mat to the cardbase. I also adhered my DSP to the 2 1/8" x 4 5/8" Soft Succulent mat. Next I stamped my image in the center of the Basic White, making sure that some of it will show beyond the matted DSP. With the matted DSP in position on the cardfront, place the coordinating die over the part of the stamped image that is showing and the matted DSP. When you have it positioned over the stamped image, secure onto the DSP with Washi Tape or post-it. Run this through your diecut machine. Position the DSP over the stamped image to make sure it cut correctly. Before you adhere the DSP with dimensionals, stamp any other images you may want as well as the sentiment. Place the sentiment in the bottom right corner.
Adhere your matted DSP, add embellishments and you're done!!

Here are the other samples that I did. 
You can use any stamp set with coordinating dies, any DSP and you can add as little or as much as you want. The Happy Birthday flower card only has gems added. The Wild Cats card has both stamped greenery and diecut greenery added. As you can see, the sentiment can also be added in many different ways!

Enjoy creating!
