How to Modify a Craft Die (Partial Die Cutting) – Valentine’s Day Card Series – Day 9

Happy Monday, all! Today’s cards for the Valentine’s Day Card Series feature the All the Love dies from Concord & 9th, plus lots of strips of colored cardstock.

Truth be told, I came up with the slimline card design before I realized that the large LOVE die from Concord & 9th wasn’t not in fact two separate dies. It was one solid die! But I really wanted to create a slimline card, so I tried a partial die cutting technique by using a smaller 3×6 Gemini Go cutting plate. Be sure to watch the video to see how this technique works.

Enjoy!
