I absolutely love the Sunburst Thinlit Die! It sells for $29 but can be used for absolutely any occasion. This die allows you to cut a ray of sunshine in record time with the Big Shot. The actual size is 4-13/16" x 6-1/2". Check out 4 of the 5 samples below.
This Easter Sunburst card uses a Crisp Cantaloupe (retired) card, and 2 – 5 1/4 X 4 layers from the Pretty Petals DSP Stack. I judiciously added a bit of Wink of Stella to several flowers on the patterned starburst, and on the punched bunny and butterflies. The large Happy Easter message is punched out with a scallop punch and layered on a circle that matches the green background DSP. The completed message is then popped on the sunburst center with dimensionals.
Looks pretty easy? It IS very easy and fast.
DSP for this card was also taken from the Pretty Petals DSP Stack and features vibrant Pacific Point. Although a variety of DSP has been cut for you, you have the option of going through the paper stacks and choosing your own combination. I also did a cute “Sending Springtime Smiles” card but neglected to get it to my ace photographer. I styled that card horizontally instead of the vertical usage we see here.
Need a quick birthday card? This is the way to go. DSP from the Pretty Petals stack, a few tiny butterflies from a big box butterfly punch, an appropriate sentiment and the card is ready to go! I added a bit of Wink of Stella as I love the added interest it gives. This style could easily be used for a Thinking of You, Anniversary, Retirement, or even Sympathy card. You could sit down while watching TV and precut background DSP and die cut several sunburst images. Then you are ready to go when you need a fast card.
Need a St. Patrick’s Day card? I precut some Crushed Curry and Garden Green DSP to help you out. As I wanted a different center message, I reached out to Graphic Fairy and chose this Irish lass. I added Wink of Stella to the clothing and flag so it jumps out. After the pictures were taken, I ended up adding 2 metal shamrocks in 2 shades of green. The shamrock usage dresses up the card. The inside message is the standard “Happy St. Patrick’s Day” with 2 added punched shamrocks.
Now that you have seen all 4 Stamp Camp samples, don’t forget to let me know if you wish to omit a card and do 2 of a different card. I can accommodate these requests, but please let me know as soon as you can.
As a reminder, March Stamp Camp is Thursday March 3rd from 12 Noon to 9 PM, Friday March 4th from 2 PM to 9 PM, and Saturday March 5th from 9 AM – 4 PM. Hope to see you there. Let me know if you have any questions.
