Unused No More - February 2025

It's the 6th of the month - time for the Unused No More Challenge. Not sure what that is? Knowing we have stamps and other products we've not used, Barb created the idea for this challenge and invited others to join her in the fun.


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 this month's card using the Taylored Expressions Meadow Cinquefoil Stamp/Die set.







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:

Jeanette, that black circle is the perfect backdrop for such a sweet image. I love the delicate color of the Cinquefoil against the black. Nice job with this stamp!
