Challenge Title: Bursting with Hope
Hostess: PH in VA (Patricia)
Keyword: HYCCT1315A
Date: Tuesday, October 15, 2013
Hi there! Welcome to the fourth annual Hope You Can Cling To challenge and card drive! We're so glad you are here with us. We are excited for your cards to start arriving at MD Anderson Cancer Center to brighten the lives of many people.
I don't know anyone who doesn't hope that a cure for cancer will be found some day soon. Our challenge drive aspires to give the patients at MD Anderson hope that they will beat this horrid disease. Many of us HYCCT hostesses here are so full of hope we're about to burst, LOL! So I thought it would be fun to create cards for this challenge using a starburst design.
Your starburst should be created from either cardstock or patterned paper, and NOT be a stamped image. For your card, you may choose to follow the Starburst Technique tutorial linked below, you may freehand cut your starburst rays, or if you have a die that will cut the starburst shape you may use that! Some people call it a "sunburst" instead of a "starburst" and that's OK. If you'd like to use pink in your starburst you definitely may, but pink is not a requirement.

Please note - because MD Anderson is part of the State of Texas, they ask that no religious sentiments be used on cards sent to the Cancer Center.
Thank you to my fabulous sample makers - Sabrina, Lydia, Patty, Kathy, and Dina!
Now it's your turn - show us what you can create with your cardstock and patterned papers to let us know that you are bursting with hope!
Good morning, everyone! I'll be around throughout the rest of HYCCT to answer any questions you might have about this challenge. I'm looking forward to seeing what y'all create!
Have always wanted to try one with dp (I've done Washi tape and a stenciled sunburst before). Thanks for the tutorial. After my walk and some school I hope to get at this!

Washi tape? Do you have a link to that, just to satisfy my curiosity about it?
That's why they are called "challenges" - to get us to stretch our creativity!
It's fun seeing how different people are challenged by different things. Using loads of glitter and bling is not my style so I always have difficulty with challenges that call for that. Especially glitter. Loose glitter = shudder. LOL
But all our differences in preferences - in styles, images, colors, embellishments, techniques, etc. - are what makes the gallery here so fun and enjoyable. It would be pretty boring if everyone's cards looked *exactly* alike, ya know?
Thanks for this info...I know I made one during DTGD but don't have a clue how I did it...looked on SCS tutorials but nothing came up in the search...now I'll go to youtube...

There is a tutorial linked to the first post in this thread!
There are two attachments for it - one is a Word document and one is in Adobe PDF format. They're below the thumbnail images of the samples for the challenge.

I'm sorry you missed it and had to go off site for instructions, too.
If I'd put the instructions in the challenge post, the post would have been GINORMOUSLY long! So that's why I did the tutorial attached the post, and referenced in the third paragraph of the post.
Patricia, thanks so much for this fun challenge! I have not tried this technique before, I always thought it looked too difficult but it was easy peasy and fun too!

I'm learning...but it's been fun learning...now I will know to look at the post after the samples...I didn't know it was "important" information!!!
It was fun to make...next time I will try double-sided paper to get 6 designs...I had wanted to learn how to make one for a long time...and DTGD provided the push I needed...but I had already forgotten what I had learned!

I hear you there. I'm really behind in getting cards made for the previous HYCCT challenges. :(

It doesn't matter whether you used the video you shared, or the tutorial I created. So long as you've used DP or cardstock to create the rays, you're good.
UH OH!!!!!!!!!! I think I goofed here. I now see that the starburst was to be made of cs or dp.............and I used washi tape. Well this is my card anyway:
