Joining the Paper Stash Smash in 2026!
One of my big creative goals for 2026 is to be more intentional with the supplies I already have—and what better way to do that than by joining the Paper Stash Smash (#PaperStashSmash) collaboration! This fun and inspiring collab is hosted by Debbie (@Project39MiniAlbumns) and Karolina (@KarolinasKrafts), two incredibly talented makers who have built a community around using what we have, getting creative, and making space for new ideas.
I actually discovered this collab through Letty (@partyplannerpaperie). Her videos are always so motivating, and when she shared her Paper Stash Smash projects, I knew I wanted to jump in. I even tried to join back in 2022, but as we all know, life sometimes has other plans. This year, though, I’m ready—and excited—to commit to participating monthly and sharing my progress along the way.
My mission is simple:
✨ Use up my stash of paper and crafty items
✨ Create intentionally
✨ Have fun smashing my stash all year long
If you’ve been looking for a reason to dive into your own collection of patterned paper, embellishments, and long‑forgotten supplies, consider this your invitation. Come along and join me as I work through my stash and document the journey. There’s something incredibly satisfying about turning older supplies into fresh, beautiful projects.
If you’re interested in joining the collab yourself, be sure to follow the amazing hosts mentioned above. And a huge shoutout to Letty, who has created a free printable to help you track your progress—you can grab it on her Ko‑fi shop here:

I can’t wait to see all the incredible projects these ladies—and the whole community—create this year. Here’s to smashing our stash in 2026 and making room for even more creativity!
