Smash Your Stash: January Washi Tape

I have been graciously accepted into a 2021 Smash Your Stash Collaboration hosted by Beth at Bourbon Creek Crafts and Teresa of Fresh and Renewed. The goal of the collaboration is to use the amazing products we all have in our stashes. Each month has a theme and the crafters involved share projects based on that theme. There so many amazing people involved in the collaboration and at the end of each month’s post, you’ll be able to use the provided links to visit them all!

January was washi tape. I love washi tape. The photo above isn’t even half of the stash I have. It might not even be a quarter of it. I like to use it as accents and embellishments, but I decided to “craft ahead” a little bit and instead of making one or two cards where I used washi as an afterthought, I instead I decided to make backgrounds that featured washi to have on hand if I need a card stat!

These posts will pop up once a month this whole year! Smashing our stash is the goal. Check out the links below for ideas or just to enjoy the creativity on display. Hopefully you’ll be inspired to use some of the beautiful papers and embellishments! Share your own projects using the hashtag #smashyourstash2021.

The Smash our Stash collaboration is about focusing on using up items from our stash.  If you’d like to follow along with the participants, you can use the links below or search the hashtag #smashourstash2021.  You can also use this hashtag to share any of the projects you make if you’d like to play along on your own with us.
