Happy New Year craft friends! I am still working on using that tote of items up this year. I did great last year and this challenge was super helpful to push me. I am also adding to my personal goal this year to use up a huge stack of already stamped images that sits on my table so many fun images will be used this year so I can use up that stack. Here is my first card this year using another tote item: |
Yay!! The new challenge is up. Thank you Julie for making this fun challenge and giving me especially an incentive to dust off unloved stamps and stuff.
|
Happy New Year to one and all! This annual challenge has really kept me motivated to use it or lose it. And, has saved me a lot of money by encouraging me to "shop" my stash. Thanks for doing it, Julie! Today I have 2 cards using a quilt block die from Our Daily Bread Designs. I bought this several years ago but haven't used it before. For the Christmas version, I also broke out a 6x6 Penny Black DSP pad that I bought for 2019 Christmas cards but never ended up using. For the masculine version, I used up some DSP from an old My Mind's Eye 6x6 paper pad. TFL! |

I used up 3 already stamped Christmas sentiments for these cards: |
Thank you, Julie!

I used Orchid and Turquoise papers on my first and second card (still some of my favorite and highly hoarded colors). My last two cards I used sequins that I'm not sure if I have ever used. Denise (FS) had used similar sequins, so that helped me.

I am in the midst of a major reorganization of my craft space. I put all of the embossed pieces & backgrounds in a place that I hope will help me remember to use them. I used one of the embossed pieces for my CAS card.

Love that idea Misti- I am working on my craft room organization as well :-) In the meantime, I did create another encouragement card using brand new to me paper, stamps and a few dies.
I also have a personal goal to create a card for each of the SCS sketches that I missed over the years- I have many cards finished but not posted yet (this one uses a sketch from 2012). SC390 Hug in a Cup |
Used up this Panda from my tote: MMTPT651 USEIT2021 Panda by Shoe Girl - at Splitcoaststampers

Needed a quick sympathy card to send to friends of my significant other. As I was trying to decide what image I wanted to use, I came across this NBUS image from Hero Arts. As best I can tell, this poor thing has been sitting by, patiently waiting its turn since about 2013. Yikes!!!
Love how it came out. Am thinking of making another but using as a birthday card. TFL. https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/g.../photo/3022795 |
I was able to use this white frilly die cut from my tote today:

Two cards using a die I bought about 5 years ago - made a "meh!" card with it then and didn't pull it out again until now. After an entire afternoon of futzing with it, I did come up with a few cards, including these two. I like them both, but not enough to save the die from getting an eviction notice.
