Salvaging Imperfect Die Cut

Hello and welcome to my blog
Have you ever tried to diecut a piece of cardstock and it shifted during cutting that resulted in a die cut with a part cut off? If your answer is 'Yes' and you are going to throw it in the trash then I would suggest that you don't have to do that! With a little creativity you can still use that die cut and no one will ever know that it got messed up during the die cutting process.

This happens to me many times and I am going to show you how to use it 
Below is the card made with a the die cut on that was missing a small portion as a result of cardstock shifting during the die cutting. I trimmed off the center and glued the remaining 2 pieces together. Adhered it on the card base and covered the joint with another die cut. The excess die cut hanging off the edge on the side was trimmed off. I had positioned the die cut so that the already missing part on 1 side was hanging off the edge. So I got a new die cut shape and I was also able to salvage the die cut. 

Read till the end for the instructions and full list of supplies.
