Friends of Unity January 2025 Blog Hop - Use Old Stuff from Your Stash!

Happy New Year Friends, and welcome to the Friends of Unity Monthly Blog Hop!  Our theme for January is "Use Old Stuff from Your Stash"  I went back to some old paper, and a kind-of-old stamp set...I don't remember when I bought it, but I'm guessing at least two years ago.  Ann Corbiere Scott designed some stamps for Unity Stamp Co, and I love her funky style.  In fact, this stamp is called Funky Flowers!

This stamp was designed for slimline cards.  My finished card size is 3 1/2" x 8 1/4".  You might be wondering - why not 8 1/2"???   Well, I cut a wee bit too much off one of the sides of the image piece and I didn't want to re-do it all.  We all have whoopsie moments.

I used my Old papers to do some Paper Piecing.  Stamp the same images on different pieces of designer paper, and hand-cut.  Run a black marker around all the edges of your cut flowers.  Then I colored in some little bits with some Stampin' Blends (alcohol) markers.  

The greeting is popped up, and then I finished with some random orange-ish sequins from my stash.  The sequins are really OLD too!
