I'm starting off February with stash buster cards! Back in November, I went through an older 6 x 6" paper pad and made a few 'stacks', or 'card kits' out of some coordinating papers. I used a stitched rectangle die for the largest background panel and set the stacks off to the side to work on as I felt like it.
Little by little I ended up with nine card fronts! I did them similar to the way I do my Sheetload of Cards, doing all the paper cutting and then adhering everything to the card base. THEN I decided what to use for the sentiments and decorative elements.
I went through my binder of pre-done embellishments (made years ago when we were in the mountains for weekends) and decided what elements worked with the different papers. Then I went through my odds & ends box to see if any of the circles/ovals/labels in there would work. I was able to use up a bunch of items both from the binder and the box!! I shared a single card that didn't photograph well with these eight awhile ago and you can see that one ***HERE***
I used my MISTI to stamp the same verse inside all eight of the cards. It's from the Stamps of Life, the Lots of Birthday2Stamp.
Everything I used has been in my craft stash for so long, I doubt it's still available, so I'm not going to even bother listing the supplies. The cupcake was from Elizabeth Craft Designs, Ice Cream was from Sizzix, Patterned paper a Dear Lizzy Daydreamer pad, some stitched rectangles, leftover circles & labels etc.
Late last year I was asked how many cards I make but I didn't have a clear number. Since many of my posts include more than a single card or project, I thought it would be fun to keep track this year.
