Encore Performance - May 2026

My friend Darlene developed the idea for this series and invited some of us to join her in the challenge. It's called Encore for a reason. We all have those stamps (or other card-making items) that we've only used once even though our intentions were to use them again - and again. After all, we invest a lot of money in our supplies for them only to be used once. So, this series is our opportunity to dust them off and use them a second time.

Challenge Description

Go and grab a stamp set, dies, stencil, etc - your choice, that you have used once before and have always wanted to revisit it and use it again.  However, despite your best intentions, you have yet to use it!  

Now's your chance! Go dig it out and have fun with it once again.  Create anything you like, a card, gift card holder, decorate a gift bag, make a refrigerator magnet... whatever lights up your creative juices!

We'll be posting these Encore cards on or around the 25th of each month. I'm a day late this month as I had another card that needed to be posted on my blog yesterday.

This month I revisited the Unity Turtley stamp set. This stamp set first appeared on a card on my blog on June 9, 2025 - you can see it HERE. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
