Valentine Week - Blast from the Past - Part I

 Hi all!

I've been busy playing with all the new product in the January - June 2021 Mini Catalog.  So much fun stuff.  I will be showing you what I've been working on.  I've also been cleaning out the ol' stamp room and I ran across some Valentines that I made years ago, when I was just first learning to make cards.  All of these have been CASE'd mainly because I didn't know what I was doing!  They look pretty good, but as I have always said, I'm positive one of my spiritual gifts is forgery.  I can copy just about anything.  

So on to the blast from the past:  

These look like the new trend skinny cards, but these are way smaller.  These were something that Stampin'Up was selling many, many years ago.  These measured 3 x 6, and came with matching envelopes.  There was a triple heart punch and the border was a punch as well.  I'm pretty sure I still have these punches somewhere.  

This card, I believe was designed by Dawn Griffith.  She was my hero back in the day.  This is a cute little 4-/14 x 4-1/4 easel card.  The border was a punch that proved to be a tad difficult to get just right.   I thought I was really something making this easel card!

These two lovely cards were designed by Mary Fish.  She had an online class that you could purchase and make these cards.  I have always loved Mary's style and clever designs.  There were more cards but I haven't found them (yet).  I have no idea where the written instructions are either.  So much for organization!

This last card is from my good friend Bonnie P.  She sent this to me last year.  Bonnie is a true card maker.  She sends out about 75 cards to friends and family for every holiday - Valentines, Easter, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.  And sometimes in between holidays.  She is so generous with her time and talent - we all benefit and appreciate it so much!  She's quite talented as well!  Thank you Bonnie!

That's all for today.  Check back tomorrow for some more valentine ideas.  

Blessings,

Sheryl
