Papertrey MIM #56 - Die cutting a partial image - card 2





  
Hello! I am participating in Papertrey's Make it Monday challenge this week. Betsy Veldman did a video here on how to die cut only part of a die. I received this Hallmark card from a friend and decided to try to case it with stamps of my own.
I set out using the Beautiful Blooms 2 stamp set from Papertrey, aqua mist and raspberry fizz inks, and a sentiment from Inside Out Thank You. I did a trifold card, scoring and folding an 11" x 4 1/2" at 3 1/2" and 8".  I am pleased with the results and hope you like it too!
 Thanks for looking!

Papertrey MIM #56 Die cutting partial images









Hello! I am participating in Papertrey's Make it Monday challenge this week. Betsy Veldman did a video here on how to die cut only part of a die. The butterflies in Beautiful Butterflies immediately came to my mind. I had a little trouble with the right side of the butterfly almost cutting through, but due to the thickness of PTI cardstock, it just made an indentation. So with no further ado, here is my card for the challenge.

I used PTI cardstock, Beautiful Butterflies stamp set, Aqua Mist, Simply Chartreuse, Spring Moss and Spring Rain inks. Thanks for looking!
