Hello, Crafters.
The video I posted this morning is my second HOW TO video and
it shows how to do partial die-cutting. I first saw this technique used for
this style of card in a video by Jesse Larsson about five years ago.
As far as I can tell Jesse wasn’t a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator at that time and
stopped making videos about four years ago. She put I ♥ U in her
three windows, and I thought it looked fabulous, which is probably
why it stayed in my mind all this time. Many thanks to
Jesse Larsson for the inspiration for today’s card!
Although it isn’t strictly necessary, I made a template that can be used
again and again in the future. This made today’s video extra long, but
the template will make it a fairly quick card to make.
I certainly think it’s well worth the time and effort to make a template,
not only for this style of card, but any card you want to make that
has three squares either vertically, or horizontally.
The ribbon I used in the video – the Blackberry Bliss and Petal Pink
card you see above – is actually Fresh Fig, but I think it goes with
this colour combo brilliantly!
My first order since the new 2018 – 2019 Annual Catalogue
went live will be arriving tomorrow, and I have ordered this
ribbon in all five of the 2017 – 2019 InColours!
The colour scheme I used for the card at the top is Night of Navy
and the ink used also includes Melon Medley, which I found went really
well with the retired Crushed Curry Ribbon you see on the first card.
That’s about it from me today. I hope you enjoy the video, and
until next time, happy crafting.

Hi Jan, Would you consider listing the measurements for this on your blog? I am severely hard of hearing and cannot hear the measurements on your video. I can figure out what you are doing with the pictures but they don't help with the audio part. Thanks.
Love this card. Hope to make it.
WOW I absolutely love this card what a great idea. Thank you Jan for sharing it with us crafters. :O)
Could you please send me the dimensions of all the cardstock you used, so I can make this card? I watched your video 3 times but I could not hear clearly the sizes that I need to cut. Thank you for sharing. I love this card, and want to make a template, and many cards.
Hi, Maty. I’m pleased you like this project, and are going to make some cards like this. If you click on SHOW MORE under the video, a box will open and all the measurements are writen in there as well as all the products I’ve used. Depending on the devise you’re watching the video on, intead of SHOW MORE, it maybe two down arrows on the right-hand side. Click on the lower button to open the box. I hope this helps. Happy crafting, JanB. xx
Jan, a lovely card & glad to see you have hick ups too. Kathy Sydney Australia
Many thanks, Kathy. Oh, yes! And on a daily basis, too! LOL! xx
