MIM #207: Double Partial Die Cutting


Playing along with MIM at PTI, and Laura Bassen,
showing us her how-to genius of Double Partial Die Cutting.
It's the 'partial' part that I wrestled a bit with, but settled on 
this number card for a cousin turning the big '6-5'.


Mat Stack 7 (largest die) gave me the window to add a stenciled Cover Plate: Blue Skies.
Ombred with Lemon Tart, Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise & Orange Zest Inks.
Up, Up & Away die cuts of balloons, colored with copics.
Sentiment from: Birthday Classics: February (Terracotta Tile).
Laura's effect creates a stunning 'POW', to your cards!

    Nice, Nancy. You always manage to put a creative spin on the MIM project. I'm sure your cousin will love this....even if she doesn't like turning 65!

    This is a super 65th birthday card. Everything put together so well. Love the floating balloons and the bits of striped paper at the top and bottom of the card.... just wonderful! I gave this one try and not happy so when I get a bit of time I will try it again.

    Fabulous! Absolutely perfect partial die cutting! I was tempted to make a number card as well, but did not want to limit myself, since I sell most of my cards....You Cousin is lucky to get that beauty!
