Blog Quick Quotes: Cards Inspiration with Alicia!

Good day Quick Quotes readers!

Alicia with you today presenting a set if Sunburst cards with Catalina Island collection paper and stickers. Sunburst cards are a great way to showcase all the pretty papers in a collection. I think this collection lends itself so well to a Sunburst even the sentiments from Catalina Island Die Cut Stickers are perfect for them!

Horizontal Sunburst

Begin with 4 pieces of 1.5"x4" paper. Cut each piece diagonally from corner to corner creating triangles.
Place the triangles in the order you want your burst on a 2.75"x5" scrap piece of card stock (you won't see any of this piece when finished)
You may have to fidget a bit with the triangles to insure complete coverage, moving them up and down on the scrap piece.
Chalk all the edges and adhere when your sunburst looks desirable. Cut off excess paper.
Layer your sunburst on a mat 5.25"x4"
Use a ribbon to cover the bottom edge of your sunburst and transition to sentiment section.
Sentiment paper measures: 1"x5"

Vertical Sunburst

Begin with 4 pieces of 1.5"x4" paper. Cut each piece diagonally as above.
Place the triangles on a scrap piece of paper measuring 3.5"x3.75"
Place the triangles to ensure complete coverage.
Chalk and Adhere
Layer your sunburst on a mat 5.25"x4". Cut off excess paper.
Use a ribbon to cover the bottom edge of your sunburst and transition to sentiment section.
Sentiment paper measures: 1.5"x3.75"

Some more helpful hints:

Use excess papers cut off edges to get the smallest corners of the sunbursts.
To create sentiment embellishments, place sticker on white card stock, trim edges and pop up!
Don't forget to use both sides of the papers for more variation.
