Make it Monday #93
This week's Make it Monday #93: Splitting Die Cuts shows us how to stretch our dies further by splitting up the die cuts. Such a great idea, and I wonder why I never thought of it before. I used the Harlequin Cover Plate and a sentiment from Think Big Favorites to make a get well card for a friend. I added just the narrowest strip of Pure Poppy on either side of the cut pieces of the Harlequin die cut--things looked a little unfinished without that strip.
I've got several more ideas floating around in my head, and hope to try this idea again before the week is done.
Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps: Think Big Favorites, Happy Harlequin
Paper: Vintage Cream, Pure Poppy
Ink: Pure Poppy
Other: Harlequin Cover Plate
Thanks for Visiting

Never would have thought of harlequins split. Looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely one of your best ideas Joyce...love the look of that red and the harlequins...never would have thought to separate this one, but it really, really works!
ReplyDeleteJoyce, this is amazing, great use of this die!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderfull!
ReplyDeleteLove this - love the chevron stamp and the pattern you created by selectively stamping the openings! I was trying to figure out how you ended up with two "closed" side - the red paper strips are perfect.
ReplyDeleteWoah, Joyce, brav-o! Did not think of splitting the full dies like this. Such a great effect, and love that you kept it simple with one color!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I hadn't thought of splitting a cover plate but it looks so cool and I love the chevron paper you used to create the pattern inside it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I missed seeing this one...I love it and what great idea to split one of the cover plates, I will have to give this one a try, thanks for the inspiration.
