| PARTIAL DIE-CUT |
You might have noticed that I'm having a bit of a Cuttlebug thing happening at the moment. It is work-related, but even so, I've been discovering and rediscovering lots of techniques that I either haven't tried or had all but forgotten. The trouble is, Cuttlebugs are just so useful without even trying to do tricky things, its easy just to stick to straightforward die-cutting and embossing.

| TAGS FEATURING PARTIAL DIE-CUTTING |
This week's technique is simple but I hadn't really played around much with it until recently, and I've added "play more soon" to my "To Do" list. Dies obviously only cut where the cutting ridge is in contact with the paper/card, so by threading the paper (or in this case a thick tag) through the die, a decorative edge is added using a bracket square die. I've also done some partial cutting with the little Marianne bird die into the bottom of other tags, and then used the cut-puts as extra decoration.
I'm now starting to look at my dies in a whole new way, when I consider all the different sections that could be used in different ways.
