Using my craft stash

stencilI, like so many others, have a large amount of craft supplies. I could probably open my own craft store. I could be considered a supply collector. Or, a crafter who had a fear of missing out if I didn't get the latest and greatest tools and supplies. I held on to these treasures until the perfect opportunity came along. I knew that I would use the items some day, but then some day never came. 

With COVID-19 causing us to stay at home, I began to clean my craft room. I found so many wonderful things. Items I didn't remember having, and now I forgot how to use them.

Here are just a few things I found: stencils, embossing powder, my Cricut with multiple cartridges, my Big Shot machine and multiple dies, and so much more. Right then and there, I decided it was time to take the old and make it new again. And, that has been my adventure in 2020 and moving forward. I'm going to shop my stash.

I've made a list of all of the items I have or the items I have found--coffee cup sleeves, maps, paint, stickers, embossing folders, etc.--and I'm going to use them. I'm going to see what I can create with them. And, I'll share my ideas here and on IG (https://www.instagram.com/scrapper_buechs/).

I hope you'll take a few ideas away from my creative journey. Maybe you'll find some of your old supplies and make them new again.

I noticed that I would hold the stencil down so hard, so it wouldn't move, that I would get a cramp in my hand. While shopping online I saw this cool tool that was a craft board with a magnetic ruler. I couldn't believe how this tool would be great for what I needed. I quickly put it in my shopping cart, but didn't purchase it right away. The next day, while I was thinking about the tool in my shopping cart, I noticed a cute metal board I had in my craft room. I looked at the sign and realized that this would be perfect as a metal board for my stenciling. I ran around the house looking for magnets that would hold my stencil and paper down and not have to worry about cramps in my hand. Unfortunately, I didn't find the magnets. So I went to the nearest hardware store and found what I was looking for. I got home...
