Anyone ever get a die, use it once or twice, then add it to your stash never to be used again....until a challenge comes along and makes you give those dies another chance. Several dies and this sheep stamp have not seen the light of day for quite a while. Thanks for looking!

Love this great die cut Cathy and love the sheep and card. So glad you were able to bring this out and play with it again. I know what you mean about many die cuts not getting used and I am with you. Time to use them and play with them.

You can add me to that club, Cathy! So glad you got those dies and the stamp back out. Your card is adorable. Thanks for a beautiful sample for the challenge and for giving an old tool some love.

Your story reminded me that I have a set of dies I bought on sale and have never used!
I do love your card with the sweet sheep! Love the Center step folds for your card.

Love your small flock of sheep and the picket fencing is a pretty detail. I know it is a b'day card, but would make a wonderful one for Easter with a sentiment change.

I resemble that first statement - I have at least 4 or 5 die sets that have never cut a THING - arg . .. This made an adorable card with lots of fun layers.
