Partial Die Cut Bird card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Posted on June 3, 2023May 29, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects featuring partial die-cutting techniques. I have chosen to use the Aspen dies and the Perched In A Tree stamp set to make a get well card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the partial die cut bird card, you will need:

Lemon Lime Twist card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Stargazing dsp – 5¼” by 3½”

Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”

The bird from the Perched In A Tree stamp set was stamped in Pebbled Path ink onto the 5” by 3½” panel of Basic White card. I placed the bird die in position and used a bit of washi tape to secure it in position. In the Cut and Emboss Machine I placed the top C plate in position covering only the top of the bird and stopping at the feet. I ran it through and then cut off the excess card either side of the bird with my trimmer.

I added the branch from the Sweet Songbird stamp set in 2^nd generation Pecan Pie ink and added leaves in Granny Apple Green ink. At this point I decided I would cut down the image using the largest of the stitched circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used a Blending Brush to add a little Boho Blue ink to the semicircle which helps to ground the piece.
