Star Card Tutorial

Below are the measurements for the star card we did just before leaving for vacation. This card is quick and easy, it just takes a lot of cutting.

YouTube Tutorial: https://youtu.be/Zz3qsTMKZ8I

Cardstock is 10 5/8x12
On the 12" side mark the center. From the center, or 6" mark cut from this to the corner point. Do this twice and it will give you the perfect triangle.

Score at 5 1/4" and 7" inches.


The white Card stock mats are cut at 5 1/2x4 3/4" you will need 7 of these. On the other 6 you will mark at 2 3/4 on the 5 1/2" side and cut from this point to the corner point creating the triangles.

Place this back in the trimmer and 1 1/2" off one end, on that same end cut another 1/4" off. The tiny 1/4" you will not need keep the other parts for your mats. Do this to all 6 pieces.

The design paper mats are cut at 4 1/2x5 1/8" mark the center of the 5 1/8" side at 2 5/8" and create your triangle as you did above by cutting from this marked point down to the corner points.

Place back in the trimmer and trim away 1 1/4" and then 1/2", keeping all pieces except the 1/2" piece.

Cover all your areas with the mats.

Then use the extra white piece to place in the center. Stamp or color this piece.

I placed a magnet in the center under the center paper and then created a magnetic closure out of a punched piece to close the card. You can close with velcro, belly band etc.

Your card is finished. Have fun.
