Have you made a Starburst card lately, if not, today’s post is for you.

Measurements & Instructions:

• 4 strips each of two designs 1½” x 6″
• Cut in strip from top left corner to bottom right using your paper trimmer
• Card stock mat 4″ x 5¼” to layer strips on
• First strip to add in the one with the tip at the top right corner of the mat
• Keep in mind as you add strips the bottom right will look funny, don’t worry the greeting piece will cover the ends
• Stamp greeting, mat and add to card stock mat with strips adhered, cut off excess paper from strips and greeting layer
• Adhere final unit piece to card base

Next, the first card where all the strips are butted together when adhering to the mat.

Finally, a second option with the card. When adhering the strips to the card stock mat, leave a small space between each. Mix and match patterns and colors of your designer series paper.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by today, hopefully these projects have inspired you to try paper crafting. When you place an order for Stampin’ Up! products, I would appreciate your business.

Happy Tuesday, today I’m featuring a colorful card using the detailed heart die from the Heart of Elegance Bundle. Helpful hint – use a piece of wax paper between the card stock and die – makes for easy release from the die.

Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder makes for the perfect background for the hearts and greeting is from Adventurous Sky Bundle and Unbounded Love Dies.

Heart card stock colors used on the card:

• R = Real Red
• O = Pumpkin Pie
• Y = Daffodil Delight
• G = Granny Apple Green
• B – Night of Navy

Have you ever been on the fence about a stamp set? I felt that way about the Shepherd’s Care Cling Mount Stamp set. After I saw a card created by Cindy Brumbaugh, I knew I needed to purchase the set.

The stamp set offers various creative possibilities by pairing together the desired designs and greetings to personalize each of your crafts.

Here is the front of card. First, Misty Moonlight card stock was used on the top left, a 2″ square cut on the diagonal and another piece 2″ x 6″, cut diagonally with one piece added and excess at the top cut away.

Next, the inside of the card. Additional greeting from the set was stamped along with the village image on 3 3/4″ x 5″ Basic White card stock, matted on Misty Moonlight card stock before adding to the Smoky Slate card stock base.

Finally, add a rhinestone in the center of the star to finish the card.

Today, Tuesday, November 5th new On-Line Exclusives and Kits are available for purchase!

One of item I believe will be extremely popular is the Color Coach, item 166481 – $12.50. I’d recommend checking out the new items and get your order in early to get one of these. Great for helping you with color combinations and on the back are explanations of how you can match up colors.

Other than a color coach, during the demonstrator preorder period last month, I ordered the Marbled Elegance Suite Collection, perfect for Valentines Day or to show someone you care.

This is the first card made with the Marbled Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper, item 164919 – $16.50.  Paper is absolutely beautiful in person!

Other products used on the card include:

Today I leave for Miami, then Tuesday on my Hallmark Christmas Cruise! Thought a Christmas card was perfect for today.

Here is a look at my “Christmas” manicure and pedicure – Bows on my ring fingers and snowflakes on my toes! Bow on my left hand is even dimensional with some rhinestone bling!

Card features Shimmery Embossing Paste colored with drops of ink refill. I’ve used the silicone craft sheet and palette knife to mix everything together for easy clean up. Just used one of the masks to create the trees and once dry, die cut them out with their matching die.

Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper is 3 3/4″ x 5″, embossed with Painted Trees 3D Embossing folder for an evergreen tree background. Greeting is from Merriest Trees stamp set, use your favorite!
