Partial Cut with Country Birdhouse

Country Birdhouse Bundle #163401

This cute little Birthday card, using Country Birdhouse Bundle #163401 uses a Partial Cut of the die. Do you know what that is?? When die cutting, place the birdhouse die on top of a folded card and put the left roof edge OFF THE CARD FOLD. This edge will not be cut.

 

Partial Die Cut Card

This picture shows that the left roof did not cut and created a hinge to make a cute note card!! The white rectangle is a place to write your personal message.

Sunrise or sunset, it's your choice. These are fun cards to create and each one turns out differently. Select 3 or four sunset colors. Use Sponge Daubers or Blending Brushes to apply bands of colors, fading into each other. There is no wrong way. Bright or soft, smooth or streaked. The sky has infinite displays! Stamp a silhouette on top in black ink. This wonderful tree image is from an online exclusive stamp set called Encircled in Nature #163623.

Frosted Forest Decorative Masks

What a stately tree! This handmade card uses the online exclusive, Frosted Forest Bundle #164137. This bundle contains a stamp set, coordinating dies and a decorative mask (stencil.) Because this bundle has MORE parts, it offers MORE ways to be creative. This tree uses ONLY the masks. The grass is the pine tree stamp image.

TIP: before you remove the leaf mask, splatter the tree with a dark green marker! This adds another layer of interest.

 

Frosted Forest Bundle #164137

The tree image and a gold foil layer were cut with the Countryside Corners Dies #161471. This card would be great for a guy! Be sure to check out the Online Exclusives in my online store's menu. There are lots of fun products there!
