Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2021 ~ July edition

Happy July!! It's a new month so that means it's time for another edition of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash!!  It's the time of year when manufacturers start to announce their Fall and Christmas lines so that means you are probably ready to bash some stash in order to make room for some new goodies...so let's get the party started with our July edition of Lisa & Lori's Great Stash Bash 2021 challenge!!

For those who are new to the challenge here is how it works:

On the 1st of each month we will post a challenge prompt and the stash kit we have created using that prompt. During the month we will try to use as much of our stash kits as possible on different projects. Then, on the last day of the month, we will do a recap post showing what stash we were able to bash!

This will be a just-for-fun challenge so there is no monthly prize - but isn't the real prize using up our stash?  We hope you will join us in our quest to bash some stash in 2021. If you accept the challenge to play along - link up on either my blog or Lori's Blog (or both if you choose) so that we can see who is joining us each month!

Now for our July challenge:

Here are the rules for 2021:

This month we will create a kit with 10 papers (dig into your stash for new or old papers it's up to  you!), 5-7 scrap papers (let's keep those scrap piles under control!), 3-4 embellishments (new or old- you decide), and some enamel dots!!!

1. Follow the challenge prompt to create a kit to work with throughout the month. You may use other items, but please concentrate on using your kit. 

2. Create new, not previously posted projects using your stash kit.

3. If you have a blog - please include the challenge graphic and a link to our challenge in your posts. 

4. You may link to social media if you don't have a blog. If you share on Instagram, please make sure to use - #lisaandlorisgreatstashbash2021

Since this is a just for fun challenge the rules are not set in stone BUT we have them to help you focus on what really matters using your stash!  We also hope you will help spread the word of our fun challenge so others may join in!!  You know you have at least one friend who needs to use her stash!! 

This month I decided to do 2 mini kits again!! 

Here are my 2 mini kits using this month's prompts:

KIT #1:

For this kit I decided to use some Summer Themed papers/stickers from the Carta Bella Summer Line.  I also added papers from the Jen Hadfield My Bright Life (red plaid) and The Hip Kit Strawberry Crush (black dot).  To complement the sticker sheet from Carta Bella Summer I added 2 sets of alphas one from Pink Fresh Studios and the other from American Crafts.  Then a set of wood veneers from The Hip Kit and some stickers from the Carta Bella Summer Market.

KIT #2:

For this kit I used papers from the Fancy Pants Peachy Keen line and added in a few papers to complement them from the following lines:  Hip Kit Pretty Sweet, Hip Kit Delightful, Carta Bella Farm to Table & Pink Fresh Studios Happy Blooms.  My embellishments are from the Fancy Pants Peach Keen line (ephemera), Pink Fresh Studios & Joyful Days line (ephemera & cardstock stickers).

Now for a close up of the papers from each kit:
