It’s the most wonderful time of the year

Hi friends – can you believe it’s Christmas Eve already?! OMGoodness, time is flying by! I have another pretty ScrapbookingStore DT inspiration project to share with you today created with items in the December 2025 Scrapbook Kit with Upgrades. I finally got around to making another starburst panel using papers and stickers in the Simple Stories All Wrapped Up Collection Kit along with Carta Bella Christmas Flora Ephemera from the upgrades. It’s actually been a little over five years since I created a panel like this (post HERE if you want to see it). The next time I make one of these I’m going to put the points on the strips more toward the center (for a true starburst look) rather than off to one side.

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Lessebo Moss cardstock along with 16 strips from assorted prints in the Simple Stories All Wrapped Up Collection Kit which I then cut in half diagonally. This is a super simple process of placing the first strip down on a lightweight panel of cardstock (or you can use copy paper), then placing each subsequent one down in a starburst formation leaving just a tiny bit of space between the previous one.

For the focal, I grabbed a sentiment from the Carta Bella Christmas Flora Ephemera and layered it on a stitched circle cut from CutCardStock Bright Gold Foil because I thought it needed just a touch of bling. I then cut a slightly larger circle from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock which gave the focal a little more balance. I used the Love From Lizi Stitched Circle Nested Cutting Dies for the circles, and popped the focal up on Scrapbook Adhesive Thin 3D Foam Squares for a little dimension.

I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White and embellished it with a patterned paper strip from the collection and a sentiment from the Carta Bella Christmas Flora Ephemera. I layered it on a panel of CutCardStock Pop Tone Red Hot cardstock which completed the card.
