Right before Valentine’s Day, I received this card:
I received it from my Mom, who sends me a card every year (she is 94). The REALLY GREAT thing is that she made the card this year using the Stampin Up supplies that I have been giving her for the last several years! This was her own design, too! When I was there the previous weekend, she said she wanted to make some valentine cards, so I pulled out the white card stock, envelopes, a couple of different red stamp pads and her “box o’ stamps”. That was all – then, this in the mail! I was so surprised and frankly THRILLED (can you say “mini-me”?). LOL!
She used these vintage stamps:
Wonderful Words from 2008 annnnnnnndddddd…….. Happy Hearts from 2003!
The paper is a strip from the current catalog – the Brights Color Collection (which includes Real Red).
So Mom – you get a big W (WIN) for this card! I’m sure the other recipients (she said she needed EIGHT), were just as thrilled!
To follow through with my theme of the week – Mom also receives a Paper Pumpkin kit every month, and it will be interesting to see what she has done with February when I see her this weekend!
If you want to freshen up YOUR vintage stamps – feel free to message me to purchase cardstock, inks, envelopes and embellishments! Your card recipients will be thrilled too!
