Starburst card

Here is another starburst card that I made!

This was a lot of fun to make & it was so easy to do!

 On this starburst card I added a couple of balloons to it.

As this is the card that I made for Masen's 5th birthday!

 

NOTES:  For the Balloons- I punched them out using the Balloon Bouquet Punch.  And the strings are just 2 very thin strips of card stock that I curled by wrapping around a pencil.  The asterisks on the balloons are from the 'Nothing Better Than' stamp set.  

HOW DID I DO IT?

I laid these strips in my paper cutter, at opposite diagonals- like shown below & cut them both at the same time.

#1.   1 1/2 x 4" each- diagonal cut these 2 strips.

#2.  1 1/2 x 4" each- diagonal cut these 2 strips.

#3.  Take a piece of 2 3/4 x 5"- Whisper White card stock & lightly mark it in the center top, along the 5" side, at the 2 1/2" mark.

 

#4.  Now start adhering these diagonal strips to the 2 3/4 x 5" piece of Whisper White card stock, by starting in the center, on the mark you made, like this.

 

#5.  Alternate DSP pattern/colors.  And when you are done it should look like this. 

 #6.  Flip it over so that you can see the strips that are hanging over the edges. 

#7.  Using your Paper Snips (scissors), cut along the Whisper White card stock edges, removing the dsp that is hanging over the edges.  

 #8.  Flip it over to the front side & it looks like this! 

#9.  You now need to stamp the words, along the bottom edge of the 3 3/4 x 5" piece of card stock & adhere the starburst piece of card stock to it! 

#10.  Now adhere is all together & it looks like this!  I love it!  And I hope you do too! 

And then check out how I decorated the inside of his card!

I added cookies to it!

 Sarah did different kind of cookies for Masen's birthday party, instead of cake.

So I thought that this was very fitting for this special celebration!

Masen liked It!

And I thought it turned out cute too!

All of our kids are cookies monsters!!!  

And grandma makes them home made warm cookies almost every day!
