**STASHBUSTERS IG HOP** Week 19 - Use A Crafty Item In More Than One Way

Welcome to the Stashbusters 2024 Paper Crafting Hop!  Stashbusters 2024 is hosted by Armen @armenscraftroom.  Every other Tuesday, the Stashbusters post 1-6 creative, paper-based projects to share. Our goal is to use the items and supplies we already own to create between 27-162 projects each over the course of 2024.

Today's hop theme is "Use one item multiple ways to create interactive friendship cards".

I did two out of three!  I couldn't really nail the "interactive" part of the challenge with my time constraints, but I definitely made cards for girlfriends using the same stamp in three different ways.

Sometimes I like to split the posts up for the cards, but I didn't feel like doing that today for some reason.  All three cards use the same Simon Says Stamp stamp set in a different way.

This one I stamped on patterned papers and cut all the pumpkins and gourds out by hand.  I love fussy cutting.

A couple challenges for this one:

• DLArt Linky Party
• Inspiration Station - Prompt #65 Photo Inspiration - Fall Farm - 1/8 - I loved all the colors of the fall foliage in the photo and felt like the farm would have a pumpkin patch!

The copper and gold didn't photograph that well, but I stamped this one with the Lisa Horton metallic inks.  Honestly the jury is still out on these.  I've had these dry really well, like on this card, and not at all on other projects, which makes them just like every other brand of metallic ink pad I've ever had. 😢

She's my favorite.  So festive with her PSL, ready for a day of errands, and maybe a little fun in there, too.

Just a few challenges for this card:

• 
  
• Creative Inspirations - Anything Goes
• Pammie's Inky Pinky Challenge - #2436 Anything Goes 1/3
• Simon Says Stamp Monday - Stamp It 1/5

Thanks so much for looking and happy hopping!  Laters!!
