Hey there, fabulous crafters! 🎉
It’s been a bit quiet on the cardmaking front lately. One of the biggest tasks on my to-do list has been purging and paring down my craft room before we move. We're temporarily moving into my mom's super cute but super tiny house while our new home is being built this year!
I'm thrilled to share that I've made incredible progress in the past week and I feel SO good about it! I’ve packed my first round of destash boxes, and they are ready to go. I'm selling them for $175, which includes shipping. Each medium flat rate priority mail box contains 4-6 COMPLETE product suites, along with a variety of other goodies like standalone dies, stencils, stamps, hot foil plates, and press plates. Each box is packed full with amazing items, and I’ve lined the top and bottom with handmade cards by me (which I also needed to downsize significantly). They make great packing material, and you’re free to send, gift, or give them away—whatever you’d like!
If you'd like to purchase a destash box, just hit the CONTACT ME button in the upper right corner of my website and let me know. Thanks so much!
