I have been making the tags with adhesive backed cardstock - no glue needed!

[lizpiekarczyk]

Thank you so much!! One of our demos did this for a booth at our Fall Fun Event, and it was awesome! I wrote down how to do it, but I love having printed instructions and pictures.

I've just used the 2-way glue pen. I'm not a big fan of glue sticks.

[redheaded witch]

I use mono multi glue. A very fine line does it...

Sharen, I run my frames through my Xyron create-a-sticker 150. Makes it SUPER easy.

This is what I also do - I always look for a way not to use glue. I still haven't found a glue that I love.

[conductorchik]

Thanks for the inspiration!!!!

Here mine and a closeup

[Bubbinca]

Thanks to everyone with their ideas on adhesives. These stars are so beautiful I would like to fill an entire Christmas tree with them...Sharen

[conductorchik]

I too ran mine through the Xyron. I also tried it with a 2 way pen. Worked fine.

[Vera]

I just had to try one of your tag punch starbursts, Donna! Thanks for sharing these wonderful instructions! The two-way glue pen worked fine for me, too.

Here's my starburst.

[stamps&cars]

Ahhhhhh, thanks.....I think! I HAD to buy the punches because of this!!!

[lazylizard]

Thanks this is amazing.

[lcraven]

What a beautiful Technique! Thanks for sharing!!! I am going to try it soon!

[caroladoyle]

Thanks so much for sharing. I had my stamp club last weekend and had a card I created from the instructions sitting on the table. They didn't even want to see what I was teaching. They wanted to see the starburst. Many have changed their Christmas cards now LOL! Thanks again!

Carol, you're too funny! I think that's a kick.

[caroladoyle]

Love the lab in your picture Shadow....I have two myself!

[Twinklyn]

First of all. Shadow Mill - I love your starburst creation! And thank you so much for the instructions!

Second...

Can anyone tell me which tag punch I need to order? I have the one that came with the punch box, but I don't know if the one I have is the small or the large one.

Thanks!

[DivaStamper1]

Absolutely Jenious! Thank you so much for the info!

I will try it right now!

Lyn,

If you have the one that came with the punch box, you need to order the Small Tag Punch (108264).

HTH,

Vera

[Twinklyn]

Thank you Vera! I'm off to order it right now!

[PeaceandJoy]

That is amazing! TFS.

[Valeria71]

i had to make another one ,i love making these

Here's my blue starburst.

[shostar]

Very cool indeed! I am not that creative either, I'm afraid--a tag punch is a tag punch to me as well!

[julieluvs2stamp]

I love this card! So easy and elegant! My 8 year old daughter wants to make some! I am sure that she can do it! Here is mine.

I'll bet she can too...Get her started early! Nice job on the card too!

[dasimonds]

These are so Beautiful... Thanks for posting the tutorial.
I will certainly give them a try.

[CuttersCallous]

This is so awesome! Thanks so much for the tutorial!!

[smilie girl]

I love looking at everyone's cards. They are amazing. I don't have the SU tag punches and tried to make the card with what i have but they didn't line up or work as well. Is it only the SU punches that work for this design or do others?

I'm sure other punches will work as long as they are size coordinated!!

Of all the techniques I've seen this rates a #10 in my book. This is definitely the WOW card of the season. Thank you, thank you Donna for sharing your wonderful creation!!

I would be MORE than happy to punch out 16 frames for anyone who doesn't have the tag punches. Just PM or email your address and your choice of color.

Just a warning - you KNOW you will have to purchase the punches after making one of these stars!!

[Buckeye Stamper]

What an absolutely brilliant idea. Thanks so much for sharing!

[zuzu]

I am stunned. This is just beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. I would NEVER have come up with this in a million years! Way to think out of the box!

Thank you! I think this is the kindest offer.
This starburst design is very WOW and I'm so desperate to try it that tonight I hand cut out 16 frames with a small degree of success.
Thanks again to Donna.

[julia_s]

I can not wait to make these! I think it will look great as a bow for a small package, too!

[sleepyinseattle]

Thank you Donna for sharing the instructions, your starburst is really beautiful!!

Thank you so much for sharing! Your card is beautiful!

It's hard to believe there might be someone who hasn't dropped by yet and looked at the unofficial tutorial, but just in case... There's now a more official tutorial with more pictures at:

[toknighton]

awesome tutorial, we made these into ornaments today...it was fun, I will post some pix later...thanks for sharing!

[gerrier2]

Valita posted today about a fun Santa she made. She used the starburst idea but used circle punches to create her pom pom on Santa's hat and also a starburst for another card. Check it out.

I love these starbursts too! I was wondering if anyone has come up with any clever ideas for all of the tags I now have punched out. (Besides the obvious, of course!) It would be fun to generate a nother project out of the tags from these... Anyone...???
