WT652 ~ Oldie But Goodie

[Shoe Girl]

Lisa here as your hostess for this weeks WTUI challenge.

Over the last couple of months I have slowly started converting my stamped images off wood blocks. I was finding I would only use stamps if I could use them in my Misti and knew I had a bunch of great old stamps that I wanted to use. As I was converting them I said I want to make a card out of so many of the stamps. Today we are using Oldie but Goodie stamps. So dig in your stashes and find an old stamp that you love. Please tell us how long you have had the stamp.

Here's a link to our gallery: Oldie but Goodie

Here is my card: Old Fashioned Christmas


If you're not sure how to add a link, here's how:
1. Open 2 windows or tabs: one for your card in the gallery, and one for this thread

Good challenge, Lisa, to get us to dig out those old stamp sets. Needed a b'day card so your challenge was timely. Thanks.

BIRTHDAY CANDLES

[Covington Crafter]

Had to make two cards for your fun challenge, Lisa. I bought a set of seasonal landscape stamps over 12 years ago. The Fall and Winter are the same scene, so I decided to use both stamps. Here are my cards.

Looking forward to seeing everybody's old favourites. We had an unexpected overnight guest and I have to be in work early today but taking time in the journey in to add these links.

WT652, Voila, It's Your Birthday I think I've had all these for about ten years

I have the first stamp I bought, in the mid nineties, sitting on my desk with the hope of finding time to use it.

Lisa this was a great challenge today!! I remember 5 years ago my very first card I ever made was with a Gibson Girl on it for my cousin's birthday. Although back then it was a digi, I have since got a stamp of her.

WT652 Picture Perfect

[Stamperrobin]

I have so many...where do I begin, LOL!!!

[justampin]

I have oldies that I love and won't get rid of. I've had the time, but can't seem to find my mojo today. My DH and I are just about finished getting ready for Irma. Shutters all up but a couple to let in light, water check, food check, lanai almost cleared off and two cars squeezed into the garage.

Have fun everyone, I am really enjoying looking at all of the wonderful cards today.

[bensarmom]

This was a fun challenge, Lisa. We should do this more often. I found other sets that were neglected. Here's my card.

[bensarmom]

Heather, praying for you and your neighbors.

Dangerous, asking an old stamper to use ancient stamps from her hoard! Here's a couple: WT652 Isaiah 40:31 and WT652 love

[shirlb19]

I was hoping someone was going to do a challenge of the oldie but goodie. Got the 5th Ave. Floral when it was retiring and I was just getting into stamping. Don't think it has seen ink till now, lol....

[bubblestx4]

Woohoo - I'm finally back home after visiting family for the past month. I got a slow start stamping today and it almost feels a little alien after so long away!! Hopefully I'll be back on track in the next week or so - I have missed creating with you all!

Here is my quick card for today made with stamps I purchased 21 years ago:

[Stamples]

I think this may have been the first stamp set I bought, because it had so many different sentiments. Great challenge!

Here's my card: Welcome baby boy

[Cook22]

It sure has been interesting seeing all those lovely old stamps!

[Chatterbox-1]

I've had this really old stamp since 1996, and it is classified as vintage, because it was made in 1995 by a company no long in existence: Personal Stamp Exchange (aka PSX stamp) - K-1660: Dasher, Dash Away All! How I came to have it 12 years before I even officially became a cardmaker is a story that I post in my gallery and in my BLOG.

I was determined to use this stamp this year for a Christmas card, because I've always wanted to, and it's been a long time coming. So, I was VERY excited when I saw this week's theme for WTUI. Take a peek at my finished card: Christmas Card from an Oldie But Goodie!

[justampin]

I managed to make a card this morning. We are pretty much ready for Irma so I think I need to spend time in my happy place.

I used my all time favorite image.

It's not only great seeing some old and favorite images, but the amazing cards produced in this challenge show how much we all really do love and respect our particular fav stamps. There are so many drop dead stunning cards in the gallery!

[susanbri]

Love this challenge as it's so much fun to get out an old stamp so did a second card for it using an even older stamp set than in my first card. Here it is:
