Starburst

The Holiday Tutorial Blitz is on at Splitcoast Stampers and Tuesday's tutorial was the tag punch starburst by Donna Moore. Find the complete tutorial here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/tag_punch_star/.
These starbursts are easy and fun to make. You only need your Stampin' Up! small and large tag punches, cardstock & vellum to create one of your own.
For my card, I used Stampin' Up's! Brushed Gold double-sided metallic cardstock. Since SU!'s metallic cardstock is double-sided, it makes a great card base too. The center of my starburst is embellished with a pop-up glue dot pressed in gold glitter and then the finished star is mounted on layers of Handsome Hunter and Holiday Harmony Designer Series Double-Sided Paper. I wrapped a few layers of gold cord around the entire card and added the sentiment "Near & Far Follow His Star" from Star-Studded Season. The inside sentiment is from the same set and reads, "May the Blessings of the Season Shine Upon You." I couldn't have wished for a better sentiment for this look.
Hope you enjoy & certainly do enjoy sharing with you. EdieB
