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

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
die! I have several stamp
sets I like to use.

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.
