Slimline and watercolor experiment. It’s that time of the month again! The September Smash Our Stash collaboration is upon us. This month’s theme was flowers and I went all out. I decided to use the Simon Says Stamp 8×6 stamp set Sketched Flowers. I used my Arteza Watercolor Real Brush markers to color in theContinueContinue reading “September Smash Our Stash: Flowers!”

Happy birthday! With ribbon! It’s May 7th, which means all new smash our stash posts and videos. This month’s theme is ribbon. I don’t know about you, but I have a lot of ribbon and I tend to forget about it, so I was excited to jump into the theme. I used a birthday themedContinueContinue reading “May Smash Our Stash: Ribbon!”
Smash Our Stash 2021: March!
So cheerful! It’s the March Smash Our Stash and the theme this month was whatever we wanted. I decided to go with some paper pads and embellishments I picked up from Michaels. The entire collection is linked here. I had a lot of fun with the different specialty papers and embellishments. I ended up makingContinueContinue reading “Smash Our Stash 2021: March!”
Smash Our Stash February 3D Embellishments
Dimension all day-coupage It’s February 7th and time for my Smash Our Stash post. This month’s challenge was 3D embellishments and I think I nailed it! I used two decoupage images from Love From Lizi’s May 2020 kit, using Recollections brand foam squares to put them together! I love the way they pop off theContinueContinue reading “Smash Our Stash February 3D Embellishments”

Tag! You’re it.
Insert clever tag pun here. So far the tag project has been fun, but slow going. This is in part because of a lack of time to sit down and focus on Making Things, but also because small tags don’t take as much paper to decorate them! That was a bit of a revelation toContinueContinue reading “Tag! You’re it.”
August Stash Bash: Tags for Days
I guess we need a little Christmas…crafting I am not one to follow the crowd. So rather than do Christmas in July, I am striking out on my own and doing Christmas in August! Or, to be more accurate, I’ve been thinking of making a slew of gift tags for Christmas, birthdays, and whatever otherContinueContinue reading “August Stash Bash: Tags for Days”
July Stash Bash: A Dent Was Made
Same paper stack, completely different looks. The July Stash Bash was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I pulled two paper pads, only one of which I was really excited about. I felt obligated to use the Cheeky Modern Pop paper so I could kill the pad, but I struggled with makingContinueContinue reading “July Stash Bash: A Dent Was Made”
July Stash Bash: It’s still happening!

July Stash Bash: These Cards Are Weird
Kind of…odd It’s been a little difficult to get inspired by the Cheeky Modern Pop paper and accessories. I figure it’s because by the time you get to having just a few pieces of paper left, it’s down to the patterns you’re least interested in. I think that’s been the barrier for me. I haveContinueContinue reading “July Stash Bash: These Cards Are Weird”
