I set myself a challenge this past year of trying to only use current Stampin’ Up! products in my cards that I made. (no, I couldn’t always do it. After all I have bought some cool stamps from other sources- if only my favorite designers would design for SU , I’d be in heaven. sigh…) Anyway, I pulled out an old Simply sent kit from when I first join SU and decided to see what I could make from the leftover contents that were still current. After setting aside the retired products in the kit- this is what I created.

Yes , I added some newer products – like the 1/8 inch taffeta ribbon- just love that ribbon! I even made myself tear an edge, ugh! But it was needed.
