Tuesday Tips - Starburst

Last Tuesday I posted a card that had a starburst design and today I will show you how to create that starburst.  This is the card - you might remember it from last week.

Basically, the equation is:

plus

equals


That's right!  Now, create a starburst of your own!

1.  Punch a 1 3/8 inch circle, leaving a little room around the punched area.

2.  Now, center the 1 3/8 inch SCALLOP circle punch around the hole you just punched & then punch here.

3.  Now you have this little scalloped ring:

4.  Put a few dots of temporary adhesive on the back of this scalloped ring & adhere it to a piece of printer paper.  Make sure you use multipurpose printer paper because you want a paper thinner than card stock.  The photo above is actually the scalloped ring adhered to the multipurpose paper.

5.  Now, align the scallop circle punch with the scallop circle on the paper, then rotate the cutting surface just slightly so the scallops are about a half a petal misaligned.  Go ahead & punch.

6.  You should have a starburst ring that is still attached (temporarily) to the multipurpose paper, like this:

7.  Carefully remove the backing & you have your starburst!

I have layered my starburst design onto a 1 1/2 inch punched Whisper White circle.  Here's a pic of the card again.
 
How about if you make a starburst design & then email me or show me what you created with it?  I would love to see!
