Hello and welcome back to my blog! Today's card is for the 'Use Your Stash" Instagram Hop December 2025. I am joined by an amazing lineup of crafters, so make sure you go to my Instagram page HERE to see the rest of the team's creations. 

The aim of the hop is to use up some of the huge stash that we all accumulate. Hopefully it will also inspire both ourselves and others to combine some of our old and new products to reduce that stash.

This month's theme is "Bring the Bling!". I pulled out a quite a few retired items from my stash for this challenge. I used the Joyful Flurry stamp set with the coordinating Frosted Flurries Dies, Shimmery White cardstock, Gold Fine Shimmer Paper, Gold & Vanilla Glimmer Specialty Paper, Sparkle & Shine Sequins Assortment and Rhinestone Basic Jewels. 

Instructions:

- Use Shimmery White card for the base, layer with a piece of Gold Fine Shimmer Paper and then another piece of Shimmery White card. 

- Die cut snowflakes from Gold & Vanilla Glimmer Specialty Paper using the Frosted Flurries Dies, and layer onto the card. Stamp the sentiment from the Joyful Flurry stamp set onto Shimmery White card using Tuxedo Black ink. Layer the sentiment onto a piece of the Gold Fine Shimmer Paper and adhere.

-  Use the Sparkle & Shine Sequins Assortment and adhere as many as wanted to the front of the card. Add some Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the snowflake centres to complete.
