5 or 6 inch stars

Okay, I (and my brave and fearless Expression) have been enlisted to make 2000 stars. They will either be 5 or 6 inches. My question is, do I try and manipulate a star in SCAL to get the maximum on the 12x12 cardstock, or do I just make it easy on myself and use my Plantin Schoolbook cart and just hit quantity/fill page?

I tried manipulating the star in SCAL, but I only got about 5 images on there, and I'm sure there was a ton of space that I overlooked, so I'm opening it up to the masters of cutting--the Craft Edge forum.

Let me know your thoughts. Thank you!

I got six 5" stars on one page. I don't think any more will fit.

I used the star in the shapes box in SCAL (it's kind of chubby), and I could only fit five.

See, I knew I came to the right place. I'm fiddling around with it now.

For Cartridge purposes, only 1 6" will cut out. 4 of the 5" do, so I'm thinking it has to be with SCAL.

I'm trying a weird circular pattern. Will let you know what I come up with. Thanks to everyone for their help---I want to see what others come up with, LOL. Let's try and build a better mousetrap, LOL.

I definitely like the 6 cut file, thanks so much for making it, talanhart. :-)
