Sunburst Thinlits Die

This morning I have the projects we made with the Sunburst Thinlits Die. I thought I would get them up this weekend, but we were enjoying precious family time…as I hope you were. We actually celebrated 9 family birthdays yesterday, in addition to our Easter Celebration. Birthday-CardsHere they are…minus the little people…who just wanted to be in the picture because:) Birthday-KidsWith a growing family, sometimes we have to celebrate quarterly. This worked out well this time because our daughter and son-in-law were able to be here for Easter AND their birthday celebrations!

Okay…onto the projects! As I mentioned last time, Sherry Roth did the afternoon class at our event and prepped these 4 projects for us. They all featured the Sunburst Thinlits Die.

Card #1
We used the Sunburst Thinlits Die as a template to trace with a black marker.Sunburst-4Card #2
We cut a sunburst out of cardstock, placed it onto a piece of Whisper White Cardstock and sponged between the rays with long strokes starting in the middle so it went from darker to lighter. The clouds were punched out using the Tree Builder Punch (#138295).Sunburst-5Card #3
The Sunburst Thinlits Die used as a sunflower:) We sponged the rays to give it more dimension and embossed the Early Espresso circle with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder (#133520). The leaf was from the Leaflets Framelits (#138283) and the Celebrate Today was die-cut using the PL Life Cards & Labels Framelits (#135707).Sunburst-6Card #4
This was probably the most challenging card, but I love it! We started with a piece of Watercolor Paper, wet it generously using a clean Aqua Painter. Then we used a few different colors of reinkers in the lids of the stamp pads to dip into (with the Aqua Painter) and worked from the middle out. It didn’t look very pretty…until we cut it out with the Sunburst Thinlits Die. Then look! We stamped random dots from Timeless Textures with White Craft Ink onto the Basic Black Cardstock and adhered the sunburst once the Watercolor Paper had dried.Sunburst-7I hope you enjoy your last day of the long weekend!

Sunburst

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. Sunrise-1I 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?Sunburst-2This 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.Sunburst-3Finally, 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.Sunburst-1And 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!
