Stash Busting for the win!
/I've been going through my overflowing stash recently and really REALLY need to work on this. Thus, the stash buster idea was born. Here's how simple it works:
- Every few days this summer, I plan to dig into my stash and make a card from at least some of those really old papers / embellishments or items I have in multiples.
- I'll post the cards to my Instagram with #pixngluestashbuster and some of them will also come to the blog when time permits.
You are invited to play along if you want to. Just tag me @pixnglue or #pixngluestashbuster so I can see it and visit your account :) Also, I noticed, there are some unopened packages from previous Studio Calico collections etc. that I probably will give away here or on Instagram. Keep an eye out for that as well. Now, that I have the idea out, let's see what I came up with for my first card in the series.
The idea for this card was born when I saw the long format cards and envelopes from Studio Calicos card basics kits this spring. The paper is from American Crafts shoreline collection (2012) and I also used some of the Studio Calico Color Theory buttons (not really old but I have buttons for years not just from SC).
The two sentiments came from a more recent stamp set, Party Animals by Tina Aszmus stamped in black with Versafine Onyx Black and I also sprinkled on some Mister Huey Calico Shine.
What do you think? How do you manage to keep your stash to a healthy and organizable size?
