Smash Our Stash: May 2022 Ephemera

May’s Smash Our Stash theme was embellishments, die cuts, ephemera, or stickers. I focused on ephemera and made ten Birthday/Celebration and Thank You cards with a minimum of stamping.

I’m really enjoying ephemera for card making right now. I’m on the verge of moving to a new house and the vast majority of my crafting supplies are packed up, so if I can use ready-to-use items like card bases or ephemera or even pre-cut patterned paper, I can still craft while I’m in transition.

For these cards I used the card kits available from Michaels. They have everything you need to make cute, original cards.

We are working on smashing our crafty stash in 2022! If you would like to play along or follow along, please use the hashtag #smashourstash2022 on Youtube, Instagram and Facebook. Please check out the rest of the participants for more inspiration!:
