Vintage SU Project

[mycatbillybob]

I’ve been organizing my stamps and found a selection of vintage “Ladies” sets that I would like to stamp a series of cards with. They are:
Betsy the Beekeeper
Franny Farmer
Holiday Hannah
Nellie the Nest Lady
Winter Wilma.
Can any of you fellow vintage stampers think of any other SU sets that should also be included?

adding:
Stella Stamper
Country Angel
Friendship Gardens
One Small Seed

This is a card with Franny Farmer.

There was a beautiful angel one about 20 years ago.

Beautiful card. What a fun project!

This goes way back to 1995-96 catalog. One Small Seed - sunflower gardener lady

I could not find a picture here on SCS, but it is listed on ebay.

Friendship Gardens is another vintage lady.

Diane, thanks! These two sets will combine beautifully with the others. Now I’ll have to keep my eye out for a good price on these. I just love these older stamp sets

Does Country Angel on page 84 in the 1997-98 catalog sound like the one you were thinking of?

I, too, love the older stamp sets. There was incredible detail in the artwork, beautiful and unique quotes, and they were wood-mounted red rubber (still my preference). I bought all the SU! annual catalogs back to 1999 from someone here on SCS several years ago because it's fun to look through them for the artwork.

No, I just googled “Stampin Up angel stamps” - it’s called Elegant Angel. I see there are others too.

Stella Stamper was a popular set. So much so, that SU brought it back for one of their birthdays~~maybe the 15th?

Holiday Hannah was my very first stamp set. I will always keep her and still use her. I remember sitting in my car after the first SU party I ever attended and thought to myself, "Uh oh.....I think I may be in trouble here...." and I was right. Lifelong hobby....

I love and still use Vintage Postcard. Thinking of Father is a nice set, too.

I just acquired Holiday Hannah. I can’t wait to try her out I just finished a Nellie the nest lady card.

This is why I have not gotten rid of my old vintage sets from when I started stamping. You never know when they might be just the perfect one!!!

[CameronGibson]

Nice, I love it. You are so talented

[mycatbillybob]

I finished my SU Ladies series. Stella Stamper, Franny Farmer, Nellie the Nest Lady, Winter Wilma, Holiday Hannah, and Betsy the Bee Keeper. I had such fun making these!

Your cards are beautiful!

[DCinkit]

Wow! Fabulous cards. You brought these older images to life. Great job! Glad it was fun.

[lovinpaper]

Lovely! I had not seen these images before. Such a treat for the eye.

[jeannemlehrman]

Your cards made my day. So lovely....

[mycatbillybob]

Thanks for your positive response to my cards. I’ve been on a break for more than a year and this was my first project to get started up again. It’s been a joy to create again.
