What a fun technique this was, when I was making up the cards, I thought that this was such a great technique, one that I was sure that my ladies would like. I wasn't wrong!! I love techniques that are not so hard that you can't recreate these cards with your own stamps and supplies.
Create
a striking background using Designer Series Paper. Cut Four 1 ½ x 4 inch pieces
of DS paper, but these diagonally and set up with the point of the triangle
pointing down. Arrange to your likin, glue to a piece of cardstock that you
have marked the middle on.
Here are the cards that we made:
Card 1 – Autumn Wishes Burst
Stamp Sets: Among the Branches, Thankful
Forest Friends (inside verse)
Ink: Chocolate
Chip, Tangerine Tango, Delightful Dijon, Cajun Craze

**For the “Star Burst” start
with 4
- 1 ½ x 4 inch strips of DS paper.
Take these strips and cut them in half DIAGONLLY, place upside down with
point of triangle pointing down on your scratch paper. Rearrange for the effect
that you would like. Take the 5 x 2 ¾ white cardstock and mark the middle. Cover the entire white cardstock piece with
glue stick. Put one of the triangles
with the point to the right of the middle mark and one to the left of the
middle mark. Keep adding on each side of
this triangle making sure that your white cardstock is completely covered. Once down, trim from the back using scissors
all the way around your white cardstock. Now adhere this piece to the 5 x 3 ¾
piece of cardstock, stamp sentiment at the bottom.
