Ladies, love all of your cards and, again, so thrilled that you are using up some of your stash!
This card uses several older stamp sets along with my dusty crimper tool and eyelet border punch. I created a set of 10 towards my Christmas card needs for 2021.

Hugs and thanks again for sharing with all of us- it is so encouraging!
Hi Everyone! I am sharing a sympathy card that uses older, retired SU sets along with an older (but still available) Scripture stamp set from Divinity Designs LLC. TCC148 Be Strong and Take Heart
Hi Everyone! I've come out of my reclusive COVID isolation and am trying to motivate myself to spend time in my craft room, which is also very dusty from lack of use!
Thanks, Julie, for heading this challenge again...it gives incentive to give some love to the old and new/old stuff I had to have that are still sitting in the bags or boxes they arrived in!
Here is my first non-Christmas card for 2021 (that's a story for another time, and many of you may have already read it):
My card uses a Stampin' Up stamp, "Eastern Beauty," some pretty patterned dsp, "Garden Impressions," and a pearlized doily, all of which were purchased over two years ago and never used until they finally saw daylight to make this card.

Here's another one from me. Used some bridal flowers I bought at Michael's years ago and never used and some new blending brushes from Picket Fence Studios. Winter Deer
Another one using up more of this paper. In addition, I used the Layering Circles (which I hardly use), baker's twine, candy dots, and a tiny tag from older dies.
Finally pulled out my Picture Perfect set from MFT - another set that gets to lose its NBUS status. Yay! (Now I just have to ink up the other images in the set - LOL)
Here is a card I made using all retired products. The In Color cardstock is retired (2018 - 2020), as well as the punch used. The embossing folder is retired and I didn't write the name down, but I think it retired a couple of years ago. The stamp set used is from Gina K Designs and she has been retiring several sets and this is one of them. I am shopping in my stash more and more and am happy with this card.

What a cool challenge! Perfect for a crafty hoarder like me! I like Lisa’s approach to gather a bin of stuff and use it up. I’d love to see a picture of your bin. Think I’ll give this a try.

Hello and hope you enjoy my VINTAGE birthday card version. I am trying to use up clutter in drawers that has been around for 2+ yrs. hahah so, here is how I used up TWO of the Prima Everyday Vintage Paintable pages. one colored and left full size and another one that i tore the HAPPY word off of. whew, that led me to make a bookmark with the leftover piece. woohoo
thanks for looking and take good care,
Teresa Spring birthday by aztk - at Splitcoaststampers
I used some 2019 "Feels Like Frost" paper strips leftover and broke open my never used 2020 "Snowflake Splendor" 1/4" ribbon, which I colored blue with Copic markers. The Rhinestones are really old as well.

This card is a birthday card (the "Thinking of You" sentiment extends on into the card verse to finish, "Because it's your birthday!" I used a new/old stamp/ die set, Little Ladybug, that's been waiting to be unwrapped since January 2020! I also used the red kerchief paper from January 2020 Kerchief Card Kit. Here is my card:
Pulled out some old colors for my flowers and on the second card I used the splatter from Swirly Birds that my stamp buddy gave me a while back. I really like how it combined with this newer set, so I think it's going to get used more...
