As we’re involved in this Stampin’ Up! Only challenge, those of us who love and use Stampin’ Up! products are about to see lots of favorite Designer Series Paper (DSP) on a list of products that are going to retire. Which of these are favorites that you’re really sad to see go away? Your challenge this time is to show us a project that uses a favorite DSP set that’s about to be retired. If what you’ll really be missing is the cardstock of one of the outgoing “in-colors,” by all means show us how you’d use that!

Check out our Design Team’s projects for some great ideas. We look forward to seeing what you do with this challenge.

To participate in our challenge, make a card or other paper-crafted project, using Stampin’ Up! products only, and post a photo of it to your blog or a gallery on the internet. Then come back here and use our link tool at the bottom of this post to share the photo with us. If you are linking to a blog, please link to the specific post that contains your project.

PLEASE remember this: We’re looking for projects posted to the internet AFTER May 9, 2016. This is a NEW challenge! AND please mention/link to the SUO Challenge Blog in your post! We’d really like it if you’d mention us early in your blog post!

Of course, your projects must be made with Stampin’ Up! products only. The products may be those that are in current catalogs, or they may be retired products. But (as our blog title says) SUO – Stampin’ Up! Only! This means that products from other papercrafting, rubber stamp, die-making or other companies may not be included in your project or in any other project included in your blog post if Stampin’ Up! sells a like product. For example, Stampin’ Up! does not sell sewing thread. So use of sewing thread from another company is just fine. Stampin’ Up! does sell the Sizzix Big Shot, so use of die-cuts, texture plates or other such products from another company is not fine. If you have a question, please send an e-mail to our Coordinator, Robin Messenheimer, and she’ll be glad to answer it!

Challenge Dates: May 10, 2016 (3 am USA Eastern Time) –
May 21, 2016 (6 am USA Eastern Time)
