2 Techniques with video; Starburst & Masking!

August 10, 2020

I made these technique cards on a Facebook Live in July and I know not everyone is on Facebook. So I'm posting it here for you too. I offer a FB Live every Tuesday at 11 am CT and one the 2nd & 4th Monday evenings at 7:30 pm CT all using current Stampin' Up! products. Join me here.

I had a request to teach the Starburst technique and came up with this easy version.

Save

I used the unique and colorful Artistry Blooms designer paper from the Annual Catalog along with the Tasteful Touches stamp set and Artistry Blooms adhesive backed sequins. The link to the videos is below but here are the basics:

Measurements:

Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
White CS 4" X 5 1/4"
Artistry Blooms DSP – cut 5 strips measuring 1 1/2" X 5" and then cut these in half on the diagonal. Now mix and match them to the 4" X 5 1/4" piece leaving a tiny bit of space between them.

Save

I added greetings and die-cuts from the Tasteful Touches bundle seen here.

Here are the other cards I made using the masking technique and the Tasteful Touches stamp set.

It's beautiful in Gray Granite, Calypso Coral and Evening Evergreen. The colors were chosen because of the Symbols of Fortune specialty DSP. It's gorgeous! The photo below does NOT do it justice!

The Good Fortune dies coordinate with this designer paper. I was able to cut the pretty flower on the front directly from this paper. I did fussy cut the smaller flower to add above it.

Isn't this a neat fun fold? And it's so easy too. Watch the video below or click here. It includes another unique fun fold as well as an easy card with your designer paper.

I die-cut the window and the rectangle layers with the Stitched Rectangle dies seen here. Love these dies!
