I mentioned I was cleaning out and organizing my stamping loft over the weekend… it all started because my friend Heidi emailed me a link to this AWESOME scrappin’/crafting room, and I just had to get on the ball and get more organized!! In the process, I have been finding tons of old stamped cards.. most of which I made.. some were swaps/gifts… all the way back to the early 1990’s!!! (ok, that sounds like I’m talking VINTAGE.. not quite.. but close!) LOL I also found all my old class schedules from 1995 to present.. what a hoot to look back on those!
I just had to pull out some of my old favorites from when I first became a demonstrator…. how many of you remember "the old days" when Stampin’ Up! sold stamps from OTHER companies (gasp! I know.. it’s true!)!?
Here is a walk down memory lane… or a blast from the past.. or whatever you’d like to call it… enjoy!
close up of the bleached one.. I loved this card (at the time! – ok.. I still do!)
wasn’t I just too clever… LOVED this one with my son peeking thru the window!! I think this stamp was from Stampendous?? EDIT: 2 people have let me know it was probably a Posh Impressions stamp.. maybe the flowers were from Stampendous? Anyway.. thanks for your input everyone!
I was REALLY into the details… wasn’t I??? Check out this LAYERING!!!
and I won’t keep you any longer… thanks for travelling down memory lane with me.. here’s the last set, these were bookmark cards.. the section on the right was perforated and came off to be a bookmark:
Patty, I love these, I remember most of these stamps too. too funny, I will have to dig into my archives and see what I can come up with.
so glad they don’t have that country look anymore… or I never would of signed up as a demo lol… but cute samples!!!
Oh yes! I remember those, too. But it doesn’t seem all THAT long ago, lol! I probably still have some of ’em!
What a fun blast from the past!! ….the little girl eating watermelon….that wasn’t HOLIDAY HANNAH, was it?? I remember that name, but can’t remember the stamp! What fun — thanks for sharing!!!
Oh my gosh! I remember so many of those sets! The scary thing is that I might still OWN some of those stamps! I remember demo-ing with Berry Best, Birdhouses, Stitched Snowman, and the one with the Garden Seed packets for sure!
wow…times sure have changed! Fun trip down memory lane!
