#ProjectUseUpMyStash Challenge

So many people tell me that they have lots of stamping supplies that they never use. I too have lots of stamping supplies that aren't getting used. In fact, I have an entire drawer of solid-colored retired cardstock, tons of old eyelets, rolls of washi tape, and stacks of old ribbons. If this describes you too, April is your opportunity to dive into your stash and rediscover the treasures in your stash.

On my Facebook group and Instagram, I am hosting the #ProjectUseUpMyStash challenge. During the month of April, post pictures of evidence that you've used something up from your stash - like an empty ribbon roll, empty cardstock package, the last unusable scraps of a pack of designer series paper, or whatever else shows that you've used something up. Also, post pictures of your creations using old stamps and accessories. You can post them to my Facebook group or on Instagram using the hashtag #ProjectUseUpMyStash. Every time you post, I'll enter you into a drawing to win a $20 gift certification for Stampin' Up! product that you can use in May or June. (Redeemable only through me and only to residents of the United States.) 

​So dig into your hoards of stamping supplies and let me see what you create! ​

While I'll be using lots of retired product during the month of April, I hope you will still be able to use the samples as inspiration for your own cards. Today, I used a basic sketch to create my cards. You can see it has two flags and a sentiment at the bottom. 

For both of my cards, I used the Rebecca Designer Series Paper, circa 2007. This paper uses the colors Sahara Sand, Close to Cocoa (retired), and Regal Rose (retired). I am out of Regal Rose cardstock but still used the ink with Sahara Sand and Close to Cocoa cardstock.

For my first card, I used the Priceless and Basic Shapes stamp sets, also from 2007 and some retired satin ribbon. I paired these with a sentiment cut using the Well Written dies (still current). I added a button to the center of the flower for added dimension. 

To give the card a worn look, I swiped my Sahara Sand ink pad on the edges of the designer series paper and the layer of Sahara Sand cardstock.
My second card also uses the Priceless stamp set. I stamped the swirly stamps on the designer series paper with Regal Rose ink. The flower is stamped in this same color. Once again, I added a button to the center for texture. I tied a piece of linen thread (current) to the center of the flower.

For the sentiment, I used a stamp from the Timeless Tulips stamp set available in the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog. I stamped the greeting using Chocolate Chip ink (retired).

I hope you'll join me this month as I attempt to make a dent in my stash. Please join my Facebook group and share your creations!
