SMASH OUR STASH COLLAB - JANUARY 2021 - Prompt: Use Washi Tape

 For 2021, I signed up for a collaboration on YouTube called Smash Our Stash, where each month on the 7th of the month at Noon Eastern, we post a video using a different item from our stash.  We are given prompts on what item(s) to use each month except two.  For those two, we can pick whatever we want to use.   For January, the prompt is Washi Tape.

Stampin' Up! currently doesn't have Washi Tape available.  However, I amassed quite a lot of it prior to joining Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator and it is still sitting in my home.  Therefore, I used a bit to make some cards and decorate my planner for next week.

Here is a picture of the cards made.  I did use Stampin' Up! products for the stamps, dies, punches, cardstock, specialty paper, tools, and embellishments.  Links to all the Stampin' Up! products used are at the bottom of this blog post.

Here is a link to my video showcasing the cards I made using Washi from my non-Stampin' Up! stash, and Stampin' Up! products (stamps, dies, cardstock, etc.).  Please visit my YouTube channel, and then all the other participants in the collaboration to see what they have made using Washi tape.  It could be anything!  Leave a comment!  I'd love to hear from you!



Thanks so much for visiting!  Best wishes for a Happy, Healthy and Safe 2021!

CASE-a-CARD YouTube Collaboration - January 5, 2021

Today is the first day in a monthly series on the 5th of each month where a few of us on YouTube will be CASE'ing a card from a current Stampin' Up! catalog and sharing what we make.  We will post at 10:00 a.m. Eastern each month.  


Below is a picture of the card I made for January.  I CASE'd a belly band on Page 12 of the Stampin' Up! 20-21 Annual Catalog, but made a card using that design instead.  I used a number of items, but the focus was on using the Dandy Garden Suite of products.  I also did use the Ombre 6"x6" paper in Blackberry Bliss from the new Sale-a-Bration brochure.

Here is a link to my YouTube video for my January Card, and a picture of the card. If you'd like to hear how I made it, please visit the video.


Each month on the 5th, Look for the Thumbnail shown below to find our videos.  Also, be sure to follow the links in the description of our videos to see what the other participants make each month.


The supplies used may be found below.  Please note that the Ombre 6"x6" paper is a January to February Sale-a-Bration item, meaning you can only get it as a free item when spending $50 or more on other items either from the current 20-21 Annual Catalog, or the January to June 2021 Mini Catalog (both by Stampin' Up!).
