Sunburst Background Cards

Materials needed:

  • Glossy card stock Ink pads
  • Cotton balls
  • Templates, stencils, or cookie cutters
  • Glitter and glue pen

 

Instructions:

  1. There are different ways to make templates.
    - Trace around a stenciled design, onto a post-it sticky note. Cut out the design. Make sure some of the sticky paper is in your cut-out.
    - Use precut stencil shapes.
    - Use cookie cutters.
  2. Attach your shape to your cardstock where desired. (I prefer to place it off-center, top left.)
    - If you are using a sticky note, it will stick nicely by itself.
    - If you are using a template, attach a small piece of masking tape.
    - If you are using cookie cutters - you will have to hold the cutter firmly in place as you work.
  3. Dab your cotton ball into an ink pad. Rub the inked cotton ball across the template towards the outer edge of the card stock.
    Re ink your cotton ball A LOT!!
  4. Pull off the template to see your white paper!
  5. Trace around the outer edge of the shape and add glitter.
  6. Finish your card as desired.
