Starburst Card Tutorial

Okay, so I've seen a load of cards on Pinterest that use this super fun Starburst pattern and try as I may, I could not figure out how to do it on my own. It seems like it should be obvious, but maybe it's baby brain or maybe I just can't think abstractly - actually it's probably both of those things - but I had to research how to make these cards!

So I did. And I made a million of them. Let me show you the way, the truth, and the light of Starburst cards!

Another night, another bite by the crafting bug and NO idea what to make! I decided to try a new format for card making and it ended up being a pretty solid success! Well, I mean if I can make 6 cards in about an hour, I consider that a pretty solid success, anyway.
