Dies have so many uses and this is a very cool technique! Partial cutting dies allows you to change or modify the original shape by not cutting part of the die. May 2nd this Bundle will become available in the New Annual Catalog! So this is a sneak peak of the Countryside Corners Bundle (#161472) as always bundles are a 10% savings off of the stamp set and die set individual pricing! The Stamp set is one large background stamp – you can color the individual octagonal shapes with your Stampin’ Write markers and ink up the entire stamp and die cut individual layers with the dies – the possibilities are endless.
Today I did something unique and partially die cut the largest octagon – by placing on side off the paper I was able to create an Octagon shaped card.
Measurements:
Boho Blue CS: 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Basic White 8 1/2″ x 11″ scored at 4 1/4″ (this
will give you enough space to cut out 2
octagon shaped cards.)

Score an entire sheet of cardstock at the 4 1/4″ mark. Fold in half. Place the largest octagon die slightly off the paper at the score bend. Run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine.

Place the Boho Blue 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of cardstock into the 3D Basics crosshatch patterned embossing folder and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine.

Ink up the Countryside Corners stamp in Boho Blue ink (available in the new catalog on May 2nd) and stamp onto the cardstock die cut card.
Adhere to the center of the embossed Boho Blue card base.

Stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set in the center rectangle.

Add embellishments, these are the new 2023-2025 In Color Dots that will also be available May 2nd.

Try some shapes you have at home and try the partial die cut technique and make your own art today – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
