This is totally awesome. I love the simplicity of the project and I know that I am going to be making several of these cards. Thanks you very much for moving past your comfort zone.:p
Hi, I already sent this to Donna, and its in my Gallery but couldn't find an actual place to post it except there so here is a link if you want to see mine. I plan on doing lots of these. Tag Punch Starbursts by Twolfie at Splitcoaststampers
Thanks again Donna......SCS; is such a wonderful place . Hugs
If that is your first card you are a True Van Gogh of the stamping world. You will be my favorite one to watch. I love the star. How long did it take you? The picture is amazing and so creative. I thought at first that you had used some sort of sheer fabric. Who would have thought. Thank you for sharing.
I now need to get the little tag punch. I am so proud of you for being so manipulative. Your pictures were great and informative. I have the larger punch and use it a lot. I have made flowers with it, tag cards on larger cards and tags with in tags but this.... Oh my this is lovely.
Now I have to find a Stamping up lady...
Go Donna!
>^..^
Wow and WOW! This is really out of this world. Thank-you for sharing not only your idea, but adding the pictures . . . ! Oh, the possibilities! Fab-U-lous!

Your card is beautiful and the STAR is amazing and so creative! It was your co-workers loss. . . . and our gain! Too bad they were blind. Thank you so much for sharing and being brave! Now I HAVE to go order the small tag punch.
Wow, Donna, what I can add to what has already been said. This is totally amazing! You should have a patent and receive royalties. I can't imagine the people at your work place didn't see the potential or beauty of your design. This would be beautiful done with a stained glass effect. Use vellum and color with markers on the backside, I think I'm going to go play. Thanks for sharing your wonderful creation with all of this, it's definitely going to be a big hit at SCS and I can't wait to see your future uploads. Wow, you hit the jackpot on your first attempt. You go girl!
what a wonderful card and idea. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I love this group.... there are so many things I would never have thought of myself.

Your star is beautiful...now tell me what creative thing you did with all those tags that are left over!!? Hee, Hee! I know I can use them on cards....but since you had such a unique idea before, I thought you probably have come up with another use for them. Thanks, Nancy
I love your starburst cards but I have one question, what can we do with all the small tag punches that we have!? Also, can you give a source for the glitter paper that you used?
Now THAT seems to be the question of the month! Of course, the inside part is white mulberry paper (for the half one, I used some discontinued SU mulberry.)
I had to do a little snooping around for the glitter paper though. Once I purchased it from a local craft store, I found I couldn't get it again. They have put some on back order for me, but who knows? I did get the name of it. They called it Bazzill paper, but I'm not too sure about that. The name I found for it is Doodlebug sugar-coated cardstock. Lily white is what I used. This cardstock is wonderful to work with though! The glitter doesn't flake off everywhere and it just shimmers. Plus it comes in a bunch of colors --just good luck finding it! LOL
I ordered some from the following company, but it's on backorder for white:
If you contact the above company and use my email address ([email protected]) as a referral, they'll give you a small $1 credit on your order. No pressure though to do that!
You can do a search for it on line. Expect to pay about $1 a sheet for this stuff wherever you go. Be careful about paying more than that though. I've seen it as high as $1.75 a sheet...too much.
Donna, I posted my poinsettia version of your card on my blog at www.apageatatime.blogspot.com.
Thanks for coming up with the idea. I think its the best one I've seen in a long time. Love it when you can get double use out of those punches.

Oh, I went to look at it and I think it's terrific! I loved the gold with the red. Congrats!
I looked at the poinsettia as well....AWESOME!!!! I was thinking of trying this (the poinsettia), you beat me to it. But, I think you may have just designed my Christmas cards!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Donna and gerrier2 you guys are the BEST!!!!!
I had to look at this about three times before I actually got it!!!It is the most beautiful snowflake I have ever seen. I hope when(and if) I find tag punches, that I can do it justice!!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!!!

This is so beautiful. You are one talented lady. Those people you work with had better look out. You'll be taking over "in a design capacity" in my opinion.
Great job and thanks so much for sharing it with all of us!
I checked out some of your cards and it looks like you've had plenty of practice. They look really great...especially liked your bear cards! Thanks for sharing that.
Your card is so cool and creative. You are a very talented genius. These are two punches that I are now on my list as 'must haves'. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to the full tutorial. Please include lots of pictures.
I just had to say thank you so much for sharing how you made this fabulous star!!! I am so glad you included a few photos, because I never would have figured it out by just reading instructions & looking at your beautiful finished card. When you said you used the tag punches I couldn't for the life of me see how you did it! :confused: I'm still amazed that you looked at the tags and came up with this...pure genius!
I just got done creating my first star using your directions and it looks pretty good. Not as perfect as yours, and I don't have the pretty sparkley paper or even the mulberry, but it still came out nice using regular card stock and vellum.
I'm going to use it as an embellishment on a scrapbook page using the wintergreen papers. Thanks again for this idea!!!

I don't have mulberry paper either. To make my vellum sparkly, I used a splatter stamp from Itty Bitty Backgrounds, stamped with Versamark, and embossed with Irridescent Ice. I also used Shimmery White cardstock for my tags.
What a WONDERFUL project.
