Tag Punch Starburst


It's been one of those weeks, and I just haven't managed to stamp. But, I did get to enjoy my one day weekend and make a few things. This is not a ten or fifteen minute card, but it actually very simple. It's called a Tag Punch Starburst, you can find several examples in the gallery at Splitcoast, and the directions here. The starburst is made with a piece of paper (designer or vellum), and 16 punch outlines made by first punching the small tag punch and then punching the regular tag punch around the punch out. It takes a little while to punch and glue all those little pieces, but is pretty simple, and the results are stunning.

Here's what I used. Cardstock: Bashful Blue, Kraft, Whisper White, Delightful Dots Designer Series Paper (the Sale-a-bration set). Stamps: So Many Sayings, a retired hostess set. Ink: Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker. Accessories: Bashful Blue taffeta ribbon, Flower Brads, Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware, Small Oval Punch, Small Tag Punch, Tag Punch, dimensionals.
