Christmas Starburst

I have not made one of these starburst cards in a while, I really don’t know why I haven’t because they are easy and turn out so pretty.  Today’s card features the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper and the Evergreen Elegance Stamp Set.      

Here is what it looks like when finished…

So lets get started with our card.  First you will need to cut 4 pieces of Designer Series Paper that measure 1 ½ x 4”.  Cut your pieces into triangles as shown in the photos below. 

  

Once you have all your pieces cut you can determine which sides of each piece you want to use (the great part of having double sided paper is you have so many choices).  Next you are going to cut a piece of cardstock (color does not matter so use up scraps) to 2 ¾ x 5”, this is the base for the starburst (see photo below).  You will also want to draw a pencil line down the center of this piece at 2 ½” (this is what you will use to get your pieces lined up to make the starburst).  Now you can start adhering your pieces to your base as shown in the second photo below (don’t worry about the overhang we will address that later.

 

Once you have all your pieces attached you can flip it over and trim off all the pieces that overhang the edges of your base.  (see photos below)

  

Once I got to this point, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and stamped the sentiment “Merry Christmas” from the Evergreen Elegance stamp set onto the bottom right corner using Real Red ink.  I then attached the starburst layer to that layer.  When everything was attached, I wrapped a piece of Real Red Ribbon around where the starburst layer meets the Basic White layer and attached it in the back.  I mounted the whole thing onto the card base which was Evening Evergreen cardstock that is cut 5 ½ x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”.  To finish off the card I added three little Red Rhinestones. 

The inside of the card is another piece of Basic White cardstock cut to 4 x 5 ¼” and I stamped the sentiment (also from the same stamp set) in Real Red ink.

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and much more on my website at https://craftwithronnie.stampinup.net or by click the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.
