Welcome to Jo's Scrap Shack Blog hop! Embellishment Clusters, Using your Stash and Blog Candy!

Hello Crafty friends! Thank you for hopping along with us today! We hope you will join in on the fun as Jo from Jo's Scrap Shack celebrates her 4 year blogaversary! Not only am I joining in on the fun I am also sponsoring this hop, so be sure to check out Jo's page to be entered to win DoubleClickSkittles and lots of AMAZING prizes! 



If you stopped over after visiting Joyce over at Joyce's Creative Crafts you are right on track, if not hop on over to Jo's and starting hopping from the start!

I have been on a mission to use my stash!! I LOVE to take something old and make something new!

For my project I decided to show you how I use my punches, dies and scrap paper to make embellishment clusters:


First I pull out my some of my punches:


 And some dies:


Then some scrap papers:


Then I just punch out and die cut until all my scraps are gone:


I sort them in a divided container:


Next I just grab pieces and start layering:


I sew on some of them, add ribbon, gems, fun fur and DoubleClickSkittles for that extra touch! 






Once I am done I keep all my finished embellishments in a little drawer on my craft counter:

And they are ready to go when I need an embellishment for a scrapbook page, Smashbook page, card or Mixed Media!


I also have some Blog candy to share, just be a follower and leave a comment! (sorry US only due to high custom fees)

 Bits to make your own embellishment clusters!

    I love punch art but not thought to just punch a heap of scraps and then layer as I go.
