Simply Stars is one of my favorite new stamp sets. The new Christmas Star single stamp is quickly climbing the ranks. I’m a fan of big images, and this one is definitely big.
I love stars because they are very versatile. It isn’t an overtly feminine or masculine shape and can be used year-round for all kinds of projects.
This framed décor project is a fun collection of different textures and patterns. Because the star stamp is so large, it easily becomes a popped-up 3D star by scoring and folding. I also used the Chevron Border Punch, the Expressions Thinlits Dies, and a canvas banner piece from the Banner Simply Created Kit in the holiday catalog.
The Mini Muslin Bag project was a lot of fun to do, too. To get a perfectly crisp image, I heat embossed the star with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder onto parchment paper, then ironed it onto the muslin bag. It does take the shine off of the embossing powder, but it guarantees a perfect image and perfect placement every time.
This bag would be a perfect holiday gift. I made a bundle of five note card-sized greeting cards and paired them with the new Crumb Cake Note Card envelopes. These cards are very simple—just the Christmas Star stamped in Sahara Sand ink and the Season’s Greetings sentiment from the Joy to The World Stamp Set embossed in gold. I finished it off with a quick Linen Thread bow.
I’ve got several other ideas for using this beautiful stamp. It’s going on my next order for sure. What will you make with the Christmas Star?

Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about making my own but I'm not sure where to start. Do you have any tips or suggestions? Thanks

Woah! I'm really loving the template/theme of this site. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's difficult to get that "perfect balance" between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say you have done a very good job with this. Also, the blog loads very fast for me on Opera. Excellent Blog!

I'm amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that's both educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you have hiit the nail on the head. The problem is something that too few people are speaking intelligently about. Now i'm very happy I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
Posted by: oncarseats.com | November 20, 2013 at 02:19 PM
What i don't understood is if truth be told how you are now not really much more neatly-liked than you might be now. You are very intelligent. You already know therefore significantly in relation to this topic, produced me in my opinion consider it from so many varied angles. Its like women and men don't seem to be interested unless it's something to do with Woman gaga! Your own stuffs outstanding. At all times take care of it up!
