Unused No More - January 2025

Today is the beginning of a new challenge series. Barb has created the idea and developed it and has invited others to join her in the fun. It's called Unused No More. 

Unused No More is a monthly challenge for 2025 its “date due” is the 6^th of every month.

The challenge each month is to pick a stamp set, stencil, die, hot foil or press plate (or maybe something else I have not thought of) that you have not used yet—still new in the package or your storage choice.

Make a card or another project, giftable, ATC, etc. with the new item and now it is used!

This challenge is exactly what I need! I'm not going to name how many unused stamps I have (not to mention dies, embossing folders, stencils, etc.) but I will tell you this - over 35% of the stamp sets I own are currently unused (at least by me - some of them I have purchased second-hand). That's ridiculous! I need an intervention and Barb has created it for me. It's called Unused No More.

I made a card this month using the Technique Junkies Advice from a Dog stamp. 

There are several of us in this group, but these are the ones that have blogs if you'd like to check out their Unused No More cards/projects:
