Each month Jami puts together a Split Coast Stampers Dirty Dozen Design Team challenge for the Current and Alumni Design Team. Here are the rules for this months challenge that we had to follow:
Everything Old is New Again!We all tend to get so caught up in the latest and greatest stamps, papers, embellishments, etc that we can get into a shopping (and hoarding) frenzy! So we have to use old stuff for this challenge.
Challenge Focus: Use one of the oldest stamp sets you own along with embellishments and supplies you’ve had for what seems like forever.
Restricted Element: No stamps, tools, or supplies purchased or obtained within the last 6 months.
Bonus Challenge: Use a technique or style you haven’t used in a long time, but was a favorite at some point in your stamping past.
Well I followed the rules and just use an old Stampin’ Up retired set Sweet Herb, copy righted in 1999.
I also colored my stamp images with regular Stampin’ Up markers.
The main images were stamped on handmade paper that I made myself many years ago when I went through a paper making stage, lol. I have been hoarding that paper.
Remember those skelton leaves, ahhh I have a bunch of them in a drawer.
It’s nice to know we don’t need all the latest and greatest to make a wonderful card.
Check out this limited supply list for this project:
| Stamps: Stampin’ Up Sweet Herbs |
| Paper: Blush Blossom, Handmade paper (main image panel) and misc. handmade paper (store bought) |
| Ink: none |
| Accessories: Stampin’ Up Markers, Ribbon, Eyelets and skelton leaves |

How about you challenge yourself to make a card out of things you haven’t used in at least 6 months, I dare ya!
Hope your day is a mellow one!
