I found
this tutorial by Laura Vegas on the Bella
Blvd website
and thought it was awesome for creating your own starburst pattern. I have used
it several times. What I like mostly about it is that you don’t have to
stick with the design exactly as you see it below you can modify it (as I did)
to make it fit your needs.
Step
1: For a full page sunburst
background, you will want to start with a sheet of 12x12 cardstock. Trace
a circle in the area that you want the sunburst to "burst" out from.
I traced my circle in the lower right section of the page.
Step 2: Using a ruler, or any straight edged item, you will then
draw lines from the circle all the way out to the edge of the paper. These do
not have to be evenly spaced and there is really no wrong or right way to do
this step.
I only trace my lines to the edge of my circle being that I
know I will place something over the circle eventually.
Step 3: Once your lines all drawn out the way you want them,
number the pieces so that you know the order they go in. Start in one corner,
and number them going in a clockwise order. This is much easier then trying to
fit them together later. Once they're numbered, cut all the pieces apart.
Now that you have your pieces all numbered and
laid back out, go ahead and select the paper you want to use. I used Simple Stories Summer Fresh and Authentique Genuine.
Step 5:
For each "burst", you will want to flip over the paper that you want
to use and lightly adhere the numbered template piece, number side down. You
adhere to the back so your numbers doesn’t show. You must remember to also flip the template
piece over, and adhered it number side down, so that once you cut your piece
and turn it over, your "burst" will be going in the right direction.
Step 6: Trim
each "burst", place it in the appropriate spot on your page. Whether it be a plain sheet of cardstock or
the paper you are actually going to use for your layout.
Start with the corner pieces, and adhere them
first. Then work your way in with the rest of the pieces. Don't worry if a
piece or two slightly overlap.
Step 8: Make sure and SAVE your template pieces that you cut out
from cardstock, so that you can use them over and over on additional layouts
;) I keep mine in a Ziploc bag.
