Partial Die Cutting is a very effective technique and the effect looks much more complicated than it really is. I had a request for a tutorial so I made a second version and took lots of photos. When the card is closed it can look like the large heart is on the front of the card. The window appears when you open it. 1.Cut blueberry cardstock to 21 cm x 14.7cm and score and 10.5cm. Place the framelit on the card front with the majority of the shape on the front but extending over the central score line / fold line .  2.

welcome back to CASEing the Catty for round #211. Well this is the first set of nested heart dies I've ever owned and I really scored the jackpot with these. Not only are there 4 nested dies in a traditional heart shape, including a scallop border, but there are nested dies in a non traditional shape (I call it a country heart.) There is also a gorgeous detailed border heart and several detailed element pieces.

I love the Piece of Cake stamp set and had to purchase the bundle after seeing the fab creations of Lou Kitzelman ( A Bow on Top) at Onstage in Brisbane in November. The set has been sitting on my desk waiting for some attention and my first play was lots of fun. I liked the challenge over at Stamp, Ink, Paper Challenge and thought I'd start there. My additional colour is Soft Sea Foam. - with a little bit of watercolouring, a little bit of stamping, some metallic thread and my favourite embellishments, the wee candles. The black and white striped paper is retired but there are lots of alternatives in the butterlfy DSP available free in Sale A Bration. I love the splosh dots from the Beauty Abounds set, they are so useful. I'm looking forward to playing with this set more. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Piece Of Cake Photopolymer Bundle ...
