Gold Star Christmas Cards

Several years back I regularly taught scrapbook/papercrafting classes at some of the local scrapbook stores as well as the annual Canadian Craft & Hobby convention held here in Calgary each year.
Many of these classes were for 50 to 100 participants so we needed to have plenty of kits/supplies on hand.

As often happens there are always extras. I still have many of these left over packs.
While looking through some of these during a recent clean up I came across a large bag of die cut gold folk stars.

I really wanted to make use of them and that is how these 10 rustic Christmas cards came to be.

Cardstock: Bazzill

Patterned paper: Karen Foster "Pine Sprigs"
