VLOG: 5 Crafty Things I No Longer Buy! {Konmari craft room series} Today I am talking about the craft supplies that I will no longer be buying because they do not add value to my life or I have other items that fulfill the same purpose. Let me know if you have items you no longer buying the comments below! 1. Bulk card and envelope sets and bulk cardstock packs. Why? Because the cards that come with envelopes are flimsy and I prefer to make my own card based with Recollections 110# cardstock http://amzn.to/2rzik8K and make my envelopes from the massive hoard of pretty paper I already have using my envelope punch board. http://amzn.to/2qIDqyf As for the multi color cardstock packs I have a good stash of colors already so I am just going to but a few sheets of the colors I need open stock when I run out. *Note to self I need to keep a list on my cardstock cupboard! 2. Dies that match stamp sets. These are just to specific and can only cut the stamp sets they coordinate with and at $25 a pop it can get really expensive to buy dies to go with your stamp sets. Instead I invested in a Scan n Cut2 machine so I can cut out anything I have stamped: http://amzn.to/2qI2eq8 I paid $250 for my machine and I can cut out all of my stamp sets (for the same cost as 10 die sets!) *this machine can hook to your computer and do a lot more but I only use mine for scanning and cutting stamped images:) 3. Ribbon: I have enough ribbon to choke a horse as it is and I felt so much relief when I gave most of it away and I do not want to reburden myself with more. Also I can use washi tapper or a stip of apper to give me a similar design element if I run out. 4. Craft storage. I have enough and if I need to buy more it is time to get rid of my excess. More craft storage=more craft supplies. 5. Duplicates of non consumables. I will no longer buy 15 of an identical tool "just in case" I need it for a class or I loose, break, can't fine my original one. What items will you no longer buy? I set out to declutter my craftroom (home and life) after listening to the audio book "The Life Changing Magic of Tiding Up" by Marie Kondo and it changed the way I look at my possessions and helped me clean out the excess. I have more time to spend on things I enjoy because I spend less time managing my stuff and less time cleaning.You can find the book or audiobook here: http://amzn.to/2sxwJzt I also enjoyed her book Spark Joy, it is a more in depth book on the Konmari method: http://amzn.to/2rjvTZ9 VLOG: 5 Crafty Things I No Longer Buy! {Konmari craft room series} Check out my NEW Essential Watercolor Course: https://lindsayweirich.teachable.com/p/essential-tools-and-techniques-for-watercolor-painting Enroll in my Craftsy Mixed Media Class: http://craftsy.me/2nEBtnq Credits: Video production and Craft ideas: Lindsay Weirich Music: Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Sign Up For The Frugal Crafter News! https://tinyletter.com/thefrugalcrafter For Sponsorships or Product Reviews: http://famebit.com/u/thefrugalcrafterLindsayWeirich SUBSCRIBE! http://www.youtube.com/user/thefrugalcrafter?sub_confirmation=1 Follow along and have fun!
