Wednesday is here so it's time for our regularly scheduled work out! This week we're working out with What a Star! You just might be able to figure out from the colour of my stamps that I use this set quite a lot...but no fear, they still stamp just fine. The black staining is really only because I have a very bad habit of demonstrating all day and not cleaning the stamps until the end of the day when I get home...if you don't have bad habits like me, your stamps will stay all clear and pretty. But anyway! Let's get to work.
A tag to start us off -- super easy and yet far lovelier than that plain tag that comes attached to a gift bag. In fact, you can add just the stars to that plain tag and jazz things up. I'm working with lots of scraps this week, so I was able to stamp three different stars and cut them up to get a happy little constellation. Attach to a gift or...
Add to a layout! Lots of scraps on this one, all punched with the square punch to make this page super quick. That little star-in-a-circle is my favourite...I call it the punk rock star, though none of the samples this week are very punk, it has to be said!
And a thank you card is up next...another scrap punched into a square (and stamped with stars!), a star stamped straight onto the card, then a mix of patterns cut into skinny strips and layered with some trim and staples. Inside reads 'for being a star', of course!
And a layout is last up -- this week I'm scrapping Eurovision! What? You didn't go to a Eurovision party? They are the height of chic and decorum, I tell you! Loads more stars clustered up there at the top for the European connection. (I hope the Top Banana will forgive me for using a non-Banana stamp for the outline of Iceland...but I think I will be just off the hook as I don't think it would be a top seller...seems a bit niche market to me!)
Happy stamping this week, and do let us know what you'd like to see on the next workout!
Love and glitter,

LOVE the star stamp!
The tag is Adorable and I love both layout, especially the first one... Something about the tiered look is eye catching.
Awesomeness Shimelle ☺
Peace ♥
