Stash Buster EP#1 with Sam Calcott

[@karenkuschel1748]

Last year I gathered all my unused craft purchases together and numbered them. I had 256 😲 I would have never thought that since they were everywhere. I committed to a no buy challenge and I put them in one box and put that box where I don't see it everyday and get overwhelmed by how much is there. Then I downloaded a random generator app and began generating a number, grabbing the item and creating with it. I've drawn 56 items through the year and stuck to my no buy challenge. Its been such fun, I'm doing it again this year. Its like craft shopping, but not! 😊 and I feel accomplished for using my stash. Win-Win!!

[@janetlunn9502]

What a gorgeous stamp. This is the problem, there is always something better than you already have!!!! I wouldn't have thought of layering that though. Brilliant ❤

[@heathertoms4188]

I love doing decoupage the more layers the better lol ❤ I love your card!

[@juliewilliams1879]

What a brilliant idea i will def be watching all. Love those snowmen, thank you Sam for your continuous inspiration

[@karenreeves3958]

I love this card. I love the dimension of all the snowmen. I love stash buster series. Thanks Sam

[@MDilunaDesigns]

This is such a great idea for a series. One of the items I haven’t used in my stash is your paper craft society box from last year!

[@elainewolstenholme8702]

When I moved I had cut down my crafting magazines to only keep the ideas I thought I'd make. They're been stored in my daughter's garage for the past couple of years, so I went through them this weekend and took home a few. Stash busting here I come.

[@CraftStashcoukTV]

[@CraftStashcoukTV]

It is now sold out! Glad you liked it! :)

[@EmpressLindaRyan]

Absolutely beautiful Sam x

[@lesaseigler5365]

Love this!❤ I have one of those boxes on my craft table right now too. Gonna play today though! Happy Saturday.

[@suepollock7562]

Great tutorial Sam I shall be making some cards like that for sure xx

[@minikraut]

Love Stash Busters, love anything by you, Sam (as I have said many times). My idea of stash busters is more along the line of using loads of patterned paper and using a hitherto unused stamp would be more like "shop your stash". But I am not complaining, those are not scientific terms 🧪⚛ This design is perfect for people like me who are not very proficient at coloring - you get practice space in the middles that will be covered up 😉 Keep them coming!

[@MixedUpCraft]

These videos are more about encouraging you to use what you have in your stash, busting it out, wiping off the dust and using it. 😁

[@elainewolstenholme8702]

Great card. I love the dimension

[@CraftStashcoukTV]

Thank you!

[@blondecardsncrafts]

Beautiful Sam!! 🩷🩷🩷

[@saramills468]

Love that snow men stop. Who makes it? Please

[@debbierichards898]

Great video series, have subscribed and saved. Can't wait for the next one! How did you cut out those tiny stars?!

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you, I just fussy cut them out. 😁

[@sunnyklampe7773]

Great a# a shaker or shadow box too….

[@selenemason9383]

What a fabulous card, what did you use to attach the small heart stamp to?

[@MixedUpCraft]

Thank you. It’s just a thin acrylic tube from Card-io. 😁

[@katheriner9613]

Love the card.i have not seen a stamping tool like the cylinder one you used for the tiny stamp. Could you please tell me the name or where you purchased.

[@soniacarpinelli]

Amei! Parabéns pela ótima idéia !

[@tabithasloat7639]

Beautiful work and so inspiring!!! This is the first time watching one of your videos here in the US. Can you tell me what type of paper you are using with your markers? I struggle with getting my markers to blend on the papers I’ve tried. Thank you so much for any advice you can provide.

[@Deborahsantalucia]

How amazing is this I’ve done this before can you do it with any kind of stamp ?

[@CraftStashcoukTV]

Yes, definitely! 😍

[@Deborahsantalucia]

@@CraftStashcoukTV thank you Sam ♥️

[@JayBeenie1]

Surely we don’t have such things in our craft rooms 😮

[@copperstatenews1397]

Where did you get the dowel you used to stamp your hearts with? What is it called? Also, where do you get your magnets encased in plastic?

[@selenemason9383]

The acrylic tube comes from card io, the magnets came with the platform. I used to use masking or washi tape on my old tim holtz magnets to make it easier to lift them

[@jodoggett7984]

Love that idea… of course the stamp is out of stock. 😢. Can you tell me where you got the little stick pen heart stamp? I tried to locate on Craftstash, but no luck. I would assume there are other stamp options besides the little heart also? Thank you!

[@MixedUpCraft]

Hi, I got it from a craft show from Card-io. 😁

[@MixedUpCraft]

Also the heart stamp is in the set, it’s an acrylic stamping tube I used to stamp it.

[@jodoggett7984]

@@MixedUpCraftThanks, Sam!!

[@carolinebrown4920]

What colour did you use for the tub

[@debbierichards898]

gold brown blend 5:50

[@pinkrd1281]

Sam that card is 3x cute. Love the layers. Can't wait to see what else is in that basket for you to play with. 😊😊. Hopefully the Colorado Craft shopping girl is in there. I see the magazine is I'm the basket. Keep crafting

[@sharonward5628]

Love the card Sam and the patience you have to cut those tiny images. Great idea for this series xx

[@manicstitcher51]

i'm terrible at 3ds they never line up and look a mess lol xxxx

[@2Pferde]

Please, please use some stuff of your papercraft magazines you have in your stash!

[@andreasanders6737]

what a great idea
