Halloween Is Done

How it started How it’s going. I ended up using a little bit of everything I brought out rather than using up all of one or two supplies. I get distracted by all the stash I want to smash because it’s all so much fun to use! Not all the cards are a huge success,ContinueContinue reading “Halloween Is Done”

Halloween. Finally.

I am not the kind of crafter who starts their Halloween projects in August and September so that by October, they’ve moved on to Thanksgiving and the holidays. I am the kind of crafter who has to wait for the mood to strike and that mood usually strikes when everyone else has moved on. IContinueContinue reading “Halloween. Finally.”

October Smash Our Stash: Buttons!

This month’s theme was very fortuitous for me. I only have a small number of buttons and they’re part of an Autumn-themed 28Lilac Lane embellishment kit. 1. I love making Autumn cards and 2. It was a wonderful way to use what was already on hand and use the September Pink & Main card kit.ContinueContinue reading “October Smash Our Stash: Buttons!”

September Smash Our Stash: Flowers!

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.

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 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!”

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 involvedContinueContinue reading “Smash Your Stash: January Washi Tape”

Holiday/Winter Themed Cards

Cheery cards for missed coworkers Like many of us in this dumpster fire of a year, I’ve been working from home since March. I’ve missed my coworkers immensely. We are an incredibly collaborative team and not being able to flop onto the couch in my coworker’s office to lament a frustration or hash out solutionsContinueContinue reading “Holiday/Winter Themed Cards”

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”
