Beautiful Friendship Sunburst Card

Sunburst Cards have always been on my to do list, and I finally created one using the Beautiful Friendship Paper Collection. Here is the easy Tutorial that I used:

The flowers and leaves are Cricut Flower Market (cosmo flower and violet leaves). 

Here is a free and quick DS file for all of my lovely readers for your convenience: 

Sunburst Card Flowers and Leaves DS

*You must own Cricut Flower Market collection for this to work.

For my cartridge users: Cosmo is 1.89 high (round to 1.75 or 2) and leaves are 1.75.

I softly ink edge distressed all of the rays of sunshine using Linen Ink to give definition. 

The Linen Cardstock bottom piece was sanded and edge distressed with my scissors to reveal the white core and give a shabby look.

The final technique is to cover the Love You sentiment on the front and You and Ever on the inside with Liquid Glass to give an enamel look. I love how it drew emphasis to these words.

The stamp set is one of Stacy Julian's designs: Colorful Texture. 

Don't you just love the grammatically incorrect use I made of this set? LOL

I have the perfect few friends that this card would drive crazy, and I love it!

LOVE, LOVE this new stamp set. Product links and full supply list at end of post.

Supplies Used:

Beautiful Friendship Scrapbook Layout

The Idea Book from CTMHⓇ is a wonderful tool for layout and project

inspiration. The first page is from a retired Idea Book changed up with the new Stitched Dies: Circles and Hearts and the Rose Embossing Folder. It's nice to have a fast, easy layout so I incorporated a second Pocket Page. This gave me the chance to use the PML (pocket cards) included with every paper pack.

Other items used are the gorgeous Beautiful Friendship Suede Bows and Complements and some Gold Sequins. Full list of supplies with links at end of post.

A simple, soft inked edge distress technique was applied to all pieces using Pebble except the primary Sapphire photo matte on page one that I edge distressed using my scissors to reveal the white core of the cardstock.

I coated the back of a few stickers in the Complements with baby powder so I could then pop them on the page with Dimensional Foam.

Here is the Bundle, Beautiful Friendship Workshop Your Way, that I used:

Beautiful Friendship Collection

The Beautiful Friendship Paper Collection reminds me of blue jeans and lots of pretty pink flowers in a boho sort of way. What better way to celebrate friendships this summer than with a Swag Bag or Card Clutch in the form of a cute little Purse.

Swag Bag

Thank you to Julie Carriere for the inspiration and free Design Space file found here:

Gift Bag Design Space File Link

The finished bag measures 5 1/4 x 3 1/2 for the Artiste Cartridge owners. 

You need to own Cricut Artiste, Artistry and Flower Market to make my version of the bag. 

My free DS file link is below which adds both the layered Bashful Daisy and Ball Jar images. 

My Version of the Gift Bag Design Space File Link 

The white flower center and jar "glass" are White Glitter Paper. The sentiments are Silver Foil Paper.  I used the Clear Shimmer Pen to cover the Bashful Daisy layers.

Card Clutch

The Second 3D Project made with Beautiful Friendship is this pretty and clever Card Clutch in the shape of a Purse. It holds four note cards and envelopes.

Dee Slater has a video on Splitcoast Stampers that can be found here: Card Clutch Tutorial

I added the handles which are Zip Strips from the tops of the Beautiful Friendship Papers studded with gold sequins and a bashful pearl in the center.
