Let the sunburst in. There ‘s nothing quite like waking up to a beautiful sunrise. This was my view from our deck a few days ago. Just one of those moments that make you stand in awe of our Creator. I don’t consider myself a morning person at all, but when I witness moments like this, it makes me want to be one:)

There is a stamp set and framelit combo in the Occasions Catalogue that will definitely brighten anyone’s day. The Sunburst Sayings stamp set and Sunburst Thinlits die is the perfect die for endless creativity. I’ve just started playing with it.

On this first one, the sunburst is just randomly cut to form a sun. (Thanks Kathy House for the design.) The clouds are punched using the Tree Builder Punch, and the balloon is stamped and punched out using our new Balloon Bouquet Punch. Isn’t this a fun happy card?This second one is a little bit more advanced… a little more time consuming, but not difficult. If you like building puzzles, you will love this technique:) The sunburst is cut in multiple colors and then pieced together. It’s also placed at the bottom of the card…giving it an interesting angle.Finally, this one was made with the Sale-a-bration set Hello. I just can’t get enough of this set. Brighten someone’s day with this quick and easy card. The paper in the background is from the It’s My Party Designer Series Pack and the clouds were punched from White Vellum Cardstock.And this is just the beginning! There are so many other possibilities. Use the Sunburst Thinlits die as a layering element, to create a mask, or even for inking.

Thanks for stopping by…
I hope you shine in your little corner of the world today!
