Good morning! We are excited to share Stampin' Up! Inspiration Saturday with you in 2016! Each month our friends from Stampin' Up! will join us to share a creative tutorial showcasing a new product from their catalog! Today we have Artisan Design Team member Cindy Schuster here to share a brand new Thinlets Dies and stamps bundle AND three ways to use them!
"Hello everyone! I am very excited to showcase one of the new bundles from the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Catalog that will be going live on January 5th! It is the Sunburst Thinlits Die and the Sunburst Sayings Stamp Set Bundle. It is available in the Wood Mount Stamp Set #140808 or the Clear Mount Stamp Set #140807. I wanted to share with you today three unique ways to use the Starburst Thinlits Die of the bundle.
For my first card, I simply took the sunburst die and cut it down to create a shining sun with different size rays. I also used many of the stamp images from the Sunburst Sayings Stamp set for the background, greetings and balloon.
Next is a way to just use the Sunburst Thinlit Die as a template. I took my Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker and drew the outlines of the die. It created a burst effect on my card. I also found that the main script greetings from the Sunburst Sayings Stamp Set fit perfectly in the center of the sunburst.
Finally in this last one, I wanted to make the rays in between different colors. I cut three of the sunburst dies in Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Calypso Coral cardstock but keeping the negative pieces. Now cut one positive piece in Whisper White Cardstock. Then I began the process of cutting the negative pieces and placing them in order on the positive piece. Add them on top of your card base with adhesive. Once completed, turn over and cut off the excess. You can also make two more bonus cards with the leftover negative pieces.
There are so many other ways to use the Sunburst Thinlits Die and you can find more different examples on page 25 of the Stampin’ UP Occasions Catalog when it releases on Tuesday! It is the perfect die for endless creativity." ~ Cindy
Our friends at Stampin' Up! would love to share the Sunburst Thinlits Die and the Sunburst Sayings Stamp Set Bundle with one lucky SCT reader too! For an opportunity to be entered to win, be sure to leave a comment below by January 30th! In your comments, tell us what Stampin' Up! product in your craft space you absolutely, hands down, cannot live without! (for me it would be my 1" circle punch! I've used it hundreds of times!) Good luck!
Thank you for sharing these great projects Cindy and a special thanks to Stampin' Up! for sharing a great prize package this month!
~ Catherine
Love all the different ways to use one die!
I love the sun burst! It looks so versatile. And you can never have enough sentiments. Thank you for the wonderful tutorial and the chance to win! Happy New Year and I look forward to your future tutorials in 2016.
I don’t have any of their products, but like the versatility of this sun die.
Oooh, I really like this die & sentiment set.
One of my most used Stampin’ Up products is the top notch die. I’ve used it for treat toppers, on cards, & also on layouts.
Love all the Stampin up products that I use but especially love their dies.I would love to win this sunburst die.
Have some stampin’ up products but not any of their dies, this one certainly seems very versatile.
My most used Stampin Up products are the punches. Excellent quality! Lately I’ve used the bird and owl punches a lot! I love the sunburst design……would love to win! Thanks for the chance!
My paper trimmer – it’s loss would be devastating.
I love that it has the scorer and the blade attached.
The base is big enough to cut my greeting cards without having to extend the extra handle.
It has storage.
I have this sunburst die and will be using it next week for a class.
Love it.
thanks
Fantastic projects! Fabulous prize! 😉 TFS and Happy and prosperous 2016!
so cute! love all of the projects with this fun die! 🙂
gosh, for me it’s a toss up between the little bitty banner punch, the linen thread, the spray mist stamp cleaner, or the ink squirty tool (I can never remember what the real name is – but it’s the thing you put your marker in to spray little ink droplets all over your project. grins!).
but then again, how can I forget my inks that I use on EVERY SINGLE PROJECT I MAKE!!!!! I use them for watercoloring.
guess you can see how crucial SU! is for my crafting! 🙂
Those cards are adorable and show the versatility of this product. I absolutely love my little trimmer. I couldn’t make cards without it as I am very fussy about everything lining up perfectly!
Love this card and a new way to make a die more versatile!
Thanks for showing different ways to use this new die. I really like your idea of drawing lines with the marker. Would not have thought of that!
That would be my SU trimmer. It is by far my favourite trimmer, and I’ve tried quite a few over the years. My SU trimmer cuts and scores, never jams, and never tears. Love it!!!
I just absolutely LOVE this new sunburst die. What a perfect die to make and share sunshine cards to send to others to brighten up their days! My fav stamin up product is their paper trimmer. I just love it.
Thank you for sharing the beautiful samples. Love the different embedded colors also.
There are lots of Stampin’ Up products I couldn’t live without! My top three are my Big Shot, paper trimmer and markers that I’ve had for years from them!
Love the card samples, love using one item in more than one way. I love Stampin Up products, could not make it through crafting time without ink and paper. Thanks for a chance to win.
These are such wonderful ideas! My favorits from Stampin Up would be the cardstock and Designer Series Papers – top knotch quality and gorgeous colors. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome bundle!
WOW! These cards are awesome and ever so creative. Great use of dies and stamps. I have a couple of stamp and die sets, my favorite is the Festive Flurry ones, and since winter is my favorite season, they are perfect. Stampin Up products are truly a quality item and last forever, good thing as they get lots of use. Lol. Happy New Year all.
Wow, love these projects and this die is on my wishlist for sure! So many possibilities! Stampin Up carries the best quality stamps, punches, paper and ink pads for sure, and I would never be without their fantastic paper trimmer!! Use it everyday, the best trimmer I have ever owned!!
I really love that sunburst die! I love my SU score board!
Right now in a white frosty time of year I get a lot of use from my snowflake stamps with matching dies. I love that there are various sizes for various techniques and projects! This sunburst die has a ton of potential too! Thank you Stampin’ Up!
Such fun!! Love the ink pads! Great colors!
I love my Stampin’ Up arrow punch. This sunburst looks really cool. I always struggle to make good ones. This would be so much easier!
Thanks for the tips on different ways to use this die and stamp set.
Love the sunburst die! My favourite Stampin’ Up product would be the scallop square punch.
I love the different ways to use this die. Now I think it is a must have for my collection. Perfect sentiments too! I love the SU designer papers – always great colors and patterns, as well as quality. Thanks SU and SCT!
Great Sun ray card.
Fabulous and creative cards!!! For me it’s Stampin’ Up’s quality paper and inks. Can’t work without them.
Wonderful ways to use this

I would love to be a winner for the Sunburst die with so many ways to use it!! I love the Stampin’ Up Stamp-a-ma-jig hands down! The best product ever and I make good use of it! Thanks for the chance to win!
What fun products! Love the cards–especially the last one!
Love the magnetic pad for the sizzix and all the cardstock and papers, which are the best. Want this die now that I have seen all the ways to use it.
Very cute cards! I am not sure how to choose just one favourite Stampin Up product. Lately I have been working on a project life style album and I have been using a set of cards I got through Stampin Up.
That is fun, thanks ?
I just got the SU bottle of glue with thin nozzle. Love, love, love it. Like seeing uses for the newest die.
My favorite Stampin up product is the Whisper white cardstock. I always reach out to it for all my cards and keep the small scraps to stamp and write sentiments or even do my journaling on scrapbooking pages.
Thank you for giving us a chance to win this wonderful die.
Terrific ideas – thank you. This could also apply to other die shapes! thank you!
I use the Stampin’ Mist stamping cleaner every time I stamp – I was a dem in the 90’s and have never used anything else BUT that cleaner : ) Oh and an ancient bone folder ~ Christi
This is great post and fabulous cards!
I love the technique and the great pictures :))))
I love my white gel pens that I get from Stampin’Up!
I love Stampin Up! I use my paper trimmer and Big shot every time I stamp. Love them! Thanks for a chance to win.
Love the sunburst bundle and the cards. Another way to use a template made with the thinlet is by sponging colour between the Rays onto the Cardstock. Thanks for the inspiration.
Cool cards, that sunburst die is fabulous! I only have SU stamps, never tried their dies before.
Would love to have this die and stamp set.
Thanks for the great card ideas.
Love the versatility of the die and these bright and cheerful cards!
I like the Stampin’ Up owl punch 🙂
My favorite Stampin’ Up product is a wood mounted “to: from:” stamp. It’s awesome for any kind of tags, though my favorite tags to make with them are Christmas ones. Thank you for the chance to win the beautiful die.
This is such a great idea and all 3 are great cards. Can’t pick one, but I love my SU punches.
I love all of my SU products, and I always make sure that I have white and vanilla cardstock and envelopes on hand. The sunburst die is cool!
Love the die, cannot wait for the new catalog to come out. LOVE my paper cutter, l have 2 of them and have recommended it to lots of people.
I cannot live without my Stampin’ Up Dimensionals! They are by far the best pop up adhesives in the crafting world. Thanks for a chance to win a fab giveaway, too. 😀
Great projects with this die. I like my word window punch.
I love their ink pads!! They were the first ink pads I used and I still reach for them today!! Thanks for a chance to win this die and love the cards:)
The Sunburst set would get lots of use in my Craft Oasis!! I love how versatile it is!!
The one Stampin’ Up product that I absolutely cannot live without is my Fabric Markers! I use them constantly and LOVE them!!! I also love my 1″ punch!!!
One of my favourite Stampin Up items is my five circle stamp. I have used it over and over and over again!!! Love this new sunburst die…..amazing!!!!
My Stamp-A-Ma-Jig is my favorite. I use it every day! Great sunburst card! Would love that die!
These cards are awesome! Love that Starburst die!! I think my fave SU product is my scallop border punch – I use it ALL the time!!
Awesome die! Love the cards ♥
I don’t have any Stampin’ Up! products, so can’t answer what I couldn’t live without 🙁
What fun cards. Love all the ways you used the Starburst die. My hands down favorite item that Stampin’ UP! carries is the Grid Paper. I ran out recently and was using some other paper that I thought would suffice, it didn’t and I ordered some Grid paper. All things are well in my crafting space now! blessings ~ Pam
My favorite Stampin’ Up! Product is their heat gun and embossing powder. Well that and their stamps, of course. 🙂
I cannot live without my Stampin Up stamp scrubber. I clean all my stamps with it!
This was a great tutorial on different ways to use the die. It has given me a lot of ideas! My favorite Stampin’ Up product is the black marker.
Always fabulous products! I love my ink pads from Stampin’ Up!
That’s a difficult question to answer as I don’t want my other Stampin’ Up! Products To get jealous. My favourite would be the tag punch. Thanks for sharing all the ways we can use the die – great ideas.
Love how you used the sunburst die. My “can’t do without” SU product is Big Shot. It makes card making such a joy for dry embossing and die cutting!
ohhhh—I really like that!!! I don’t have many Stampin’ Up products, but I do have a punch–a circle punch which I love.
I have owned and used my SU! Stamp-a-ma-jig FOREVER! It sits right on my craft table within reach so I can use it time and time again!
I do not own a stamping up product , but the one crafting item I cannot live without would have to be my atg gun. If were to win I would love to share with Sarah King
WOW i love this.. awesome sunburst and great way to use it.. thanks for sharing.
I’d be lost without my SU circle punch. Love this starburst die!
I am a HUGE fan of SU!!! All of their products are such high quality and are definitely worth their weight in gold. I love this die and stamp set combo and would love to be the lucky winner! Hands down, my all-time fave SU! tool is the new paper trimmer … I love that the base is 6″ wide! Thanks so much for showing us these cards today and for the chance to win this awesome prize!
I did a card layout like this several years ago and came out with several cards. But having a thinlit dies to make just one card would be awesome, too!! Thanks for the opportunity and……. HAPPY, FUNBULOUS NEW CREATIVE YEAR TO ALL!!!
I would say I love my inks and markers from Stampin’ Up. They are of great quality and needed for almost every project. Looks like the sunburst die is pretty versatile. Great prize to be won.
i love my wood-grain stamp.
so beautiful Cindy!
Since I’m fairly new to paper crafting, I have unfortunately not yet had the chance to own any Stampin’ Up! products. I would love the opportunity to remedy this. What a great introduction to the SU! product line this fabulous die and stamp set would be! Thanks for the opportunity to win this awesome prize!
I love all my Stampin up stuff, but my scallop oval and small oval punches are probably the most used items.
Thanks for the chance to win!
Thanks for the great tutorial showing the versatility of the sunburst die. I was already sold on the die but unsure about my need for the coordinating sentiments…now I think I want the package. As for my favorite SU product…that would be my Big Shot because I love all the dies that coordinate with the stamps as well as the embossing folders which make quick, easy and beautiful backgrounds.
Cute stamps and die set. I love the different ways the sunburst die was used.
That die is on my “to die for list”…. Get it? To die for….. Okay, okay, okay… Not THAT funny! My favourite product from Stampin Up is “stamping Dimensionals”. I use them on almost all of my cards and layouts… Not too thick and not too thin and the hexagonal shape fit just about everything. Good luck everyone!
This is a great SU kit! Love the versatility of the die. My go-to SU tool is my corner punch. I have resurrected my old mini dye ink pads lately and they still work perfectly!
I love this burst die and would love to win. I can’t live without my Stampin’ Up stamps.
Love the ideas. I use the grid paper all the time. Makes it so easy to keep clean while stamping.
Would love to own the paper trimmer as it looks amazing this would be my favourite product if I had it for sure. thanks for a chance to win the sunburst…
Cindy you are the best!!! Love all their products…without a doubt…great designs and great artisan group!!
This is a great tutorial! Nice die and stamp set. I love all my SU! punches.
Squee! I love these projects! I didn’t think I needed that Sunburst die, but now I HAVE TO HAVE it! To pick a most-used Stampin’ Up! product…that is tough! I love all the punches (2″, 2-3/8″ Scallop Circle among the top), but the one thing I use on EVERY project is the Stampin’ Trimmer.
Love the sunburst!!! So happy and cheery!!! I don’t have very many SU products, but I have an absolutely wonderful older flower stamp set that I use a lot. I don’t know the name of it.

Great ideas, it’s certainly a versatile die! I couldn’t be without my snail adhesive, such a good product.
Thanks for sharing the different ways to use this starburst die!
I think my one SU! tool that I couldn’t live without is my paper cutter – I use it every day, and couldn’t create without it!
Couldn’t do without my Big Shot. Got it from SU and it’s black and white, but the color doesn’t matter…it works!
I didn’t really think that I would use the Sunburst Thinlit Die when I saw it in the catalog BUT now I’m convinced that I would – great tutorial. My new best fried from Stampin’ Up is my embossing buddy, I used it for the 1st time last night and my oh my it makes heat embossing turn out perfectly.
Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Mine is the stamp-a-ma-jig…..could not stamp anything straight until I bought it!
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial using the sunburst die.
Looks like a got to have product as I can see so many uses for this sunburst die. Love my Big Shot and all the dies and matching stamp sets Stampin’ Up! has put out.
LOVE it!!! What great examples on how to use the die in such creative ways!!
What a great idea on how to use the sunburst!!! I couldn’t live without my stampin up scrub pad these days. Saves us so much time when my daughter and I are getting creative in the craft room!
Thanks for sharing so many ways to use this set! Love all of them! My favorite SU products are their punches. They are quality and I love all the ones I have. My favorite is the large star punch!
My favourite stampin up products in my craft room would have to be my Stampin Up! stamp sets followed by the beautiful assortment of ink colours that I own. I was just looking at the sunburst in the catty today, thanks for the chance to win.
Great post – thanks for the tips and the chance to win! And SU! product . . . hmmm . . . my first thought was my Big Shot – use it all the time! So much that I actually wore out the shaft on my first one and had to buy another! 🙂
This sunburst die is fabulous! Thanks for showing some great ideas on how to use it. My favourite Stampin’ Up! product is my scallop circle punch.
Love this new die! I really like all Stampin’ Ups punchs and dies but I think I use the chocolate chip ink pad more than anything else.
Would love this die. I make sun burst cards by hand – this would make it so much easier. I have a few Stampin’ Up stamp sets I really like.
I love my Stampin Up 12 inch cutter. Best one I have used yet.
Great tutorial, with easy to follow steps. Now I just need that die
Very creative use of the dies! Awesome cards!
Wow…super projects Cindy. Thanks so much for sharing the details. I really love the new sunburst die. So many possibilities. Really looking forward to making my own stencils with it. So hard to pick a single can’t live without it. Apart from the Big Shot (that also will require a die of course. lol) the tool I seem to reach for very, very frequently is the Bird Builder punch. I’ll be crying if SU ever retires that little darling.
Thanks for a chance to win the the Sunburst bundle. Crossing my fingers and toes now so I can create Cindy’s wonderful projects and make my stencils!
Gorgeous card!! My most used SU items are the Scoreboard, Envelope punch board and Guillotine paper cutter.
A beautiful set. “Shine” is my life theme that I’m sharing with my daughters. SU’s circle punch is a favorite here.
Such awesome SU products, so this is a VERY tough choice. I love my 12″ cutter, best ever on the market!!! I also love all the cardstock with matching ink, markers, ribbons, and embellishments. The punches/dies/embossing folders are all fabulous too!!! 🙂
Such beautiful cards! I’m afraid I don’t have any Stampin’ Up products yet.
I love that you showed us three ways to use the die. I lack the creativity to see everything that one item can do, so it’s great when you can give us options and ideas.
Kudo’s!
This sunburst die is so cool and the cards are great. I’m missing out because I only have one Stampin’ Up product which is the bird on a limb punch…I NEED to win!!
I cannot live without my Stampin’ Up Dimensionals. They are the very best on the market and give my projects a finished look. Thank you so much for the chance to win. Take care, Kim 🙂
Love Stampin’ Up!!!! I like all their dies and their stamps!! Love their Cricut stuff as well!!! Thanks for the chance to win!!!
Great inspiration.
Great ideas.mhave this bundle on my Wishlist!
Wow, I love this die and stamp set! It could be used for any happy occasion. My favorite Stampin Up product is my set of ink pads. They are almost the only ink pads that I use on a regular basis and work so well!
Enjoyed the tutorial for three unique ways to use the Starburst Thinlits Die of this bundle. The Stampin’ Up products that I like most are the coordinating Inks, Cardstock along with the Designer Series Paper. Thankyou for the chance to win this awesome bundle!

That sunburst die is amazing and the stamp set that goes along with it is cute too! I would love to have a new die to play with!! My favourite Stampin’ Up product is their 8 1/2 x 11″ card stock…absolutely the best for cards, hands down!
Gorgeous die. So many lovely ideas. I don’t have anything Stampin’Up and am not familiar with their products but would love this die. Hugz
Love love probably the most inexpensive thing in the catalog but for me, the fStampin Pierce Mat (pg. 176) makes a huge difference in stAmpin the photopolymer stamps. Love your designs with the sunburst combo.
My very favorite Stampin up item would be the paper trimmer… It is the best and I would be lost without it.I use it everyday. I would LOVE this Sunburst die and stamp set. Thanks for the chance to win them
Never thought to use this die as you have. Great ideas! Thanks for sharing.
I love Cindy’s ideas with this bundle. I didn’t think I was going to get it but have now added it to my wish list! She always has the most creative ideas.
Monika Davis
Could not live without the quality card stock Stampin’ Up! makes. Love the weight, the feel, the way it matches the ink & designer papers & embellishments. Would love to win this set because my second favorite item is my Sizzix machine! I use it in some way on almost every card!
I love using my Stampin’ Up Banner Triple punch. I have found so many ways to use it in my card making.
OMGosh! This bundle has been on my wish list since I first set eyes on it. Thanks for the opportunity to enter to win! Love all of the cards made by Cindy. Lots of clever ideas for using the thinlit. TFS, Cindy!
