Over the past year, I have been inspired to reduce my crafty spending and to challenge myself to use more of my stash to create layouts, mini albums, cards, and other papercrafting projects. To be honest, I overspent on cardmaking supplies in 2022 and I still have a lot of scrapbooking products that I purchased along with product that was sent to me for various freelance projects and classes. While amassing a sizable crafting stash is fun (really fun), like many of you, I have become overwhelmed with product. It seems like new products are released on a monthly basis from some of our favorite ..read more

I have a confession to make…I purchased too many card supplies last year! In fact, I have so many card supplies, they are piling up and the situation has become very overwhelming! To remedy this, I’ve decided to reach deep into my cardmaking stash and challenge myself to pair a variety of products together to make card projects in a new series I like to call Card Pairings. The Challenge: To pair 2-4 cardmaking supplies from my stash (different manufacturers and designers) to make card projects – A2, slimline, mini slimline, shaker cards, and more.

Today on the Victoria Marie YouTube Channel, I’m using items from my stash to create a colorful 8.5×11 inch layout called You’ve Got This!
