This is a new technique to me – the half cut. Once mastered, it’s a technique that you wonder why you've not used before.
To do this, open your card blank (you will be working on the inside!!). Divide the left hand side in half, light pencil marks will do. Do not score, fold or do anything else. Place your chosen die along the half line and secure if needed (with making tape, sticky note). Now for the important bit - we are only going to cut the right hand side of the die, so make the plate sandwich so that it only sits on the right hand side of the die and run through your cutting machine. Remove die, score along pencil mark (avoiding die cut area) and you’re done.
I used the Precious Marieke die #PMI0027 Filigree heart from the romance collection. I cut a second filigree heart from red paper and carefully stuck this to the card blank.
