Use Your Stash Challenge: Stars and Stripes

Celebrations, Crafts & DIY, Papercrafts

Handmade Card using stars and stripes theme | spotofteadesigns.com

You can never have enough birthday, thank you or just blank handmade cards in your collection for future uses! I decided to use the upcoming patriotic holiday as inspiration for a little crafting session and worked up a few stars and stripes themed cards for non patriotic holidays.

Handmade Card using stars and stripes theme | spotofteadesigns.com

This first card was a great use of my stash! These Jolee’s By You stars are ANCIENT and the patterned paper used to make the striped sticks come from the border of a Martha Stewart Crafts Christmas print. Together with some word phrases from EK Success’s old “Bookworks” line, they are a great celebration card for anything happy! I especially love the stars and stripes theme here that has no hint of a red, white and blue theme!

Supplies: Patterned paper: Martha Stewart Crafts | Embellishments: Jolee’s By You, EK Success Bookworks

These next two cards that scream BOY to me! I took inspiration from paper crafter Nichol Magourik and tried out that “perfect scattering” effect she always does. You know the look, where it seems like the pieces just randomly fell in the perfect place to create a fun visual effect, but I’m sure there was a lot more work to get them like that? I love when she does this, which you can see here, here and here so I tried it for myself. Not bad for my first attempt, right?

Supplies: patterned paper: K&Company, Martha Stewart Crafts | Stickers: Sticko | Baker’s Twine: Martha Stewart Crafts | Stamp: Inkadinkado

I haven't styled many parties outside mostly becau I haven't styled many parties outside mostly because of the elements in NJ, but I fondly look back at this camping themed one styled at our last house. The green trees in back were the perfect backdrop for this outdoor adventure!

Swipe for some ideas that would be great for a great outdoors themed party or a themed get together at the campground this summer!

Not only am I an etsy seller, I'm also an etsy buy Not only am I an etsy seller, I'm also an etsy buyer and supporter! When trying to figure out what to put in these frames in my new bathroom, I debated about designing something myself. After a quick search through Etsy I found @ateliercartouche and fell in love with Jennifer's watercolor style botanical prints!
.
I reached out about a custom size for the #gifted @custompictureframes frames I already owned and Jennifer worked with me to create a custom order that was easy for me to print and frame at home. I LOVE how they bring life into this space and I highly recommend her shop for digital art for your home!

Swipe to see where we started with the weirdest spacing, a small crooked pedestal sink and basic builder grade everything. My handy hubby (along with my handy brother-in-law Frank) transformed this space into this modern farmhouse style that's now my second favorite room in the house. (Second only to my office, of course)
