New on the Blog today is this Star Burst card that I demonstrated last week. I’m afraid I am playing catch up after half term so apologies for this being a bit late!
I actually designed this Star Burst card in September ready for my Christmas Card Classes in October. It is a great way to use up scraps of pretty paper which I certainly have in abundance! Most crafters I know find it really hard to throw away cut offs, keeping them for something useful one day. It can get a bit sticky so a great tip is to use a silicone mat (127853 on P138 Annual Catalogue) when gluing the strips to the first layer.
