Are you ready for a blast from the past? Today, I am sharing my first purchase from Stampin' Up! in 1991. We had to mail our check with our order forms (company didn't use a credit cards back then) and then wait forever (this was because I was on a military base overseas.) I am not even sure if they shipped overseas or we had to have it mailed to a US address and then forwarded to us. I didn't get this set in time for Christmas; I do remember that. I also remember the fun my friends and I had stamping with our new stamp sets.
Do you remember what your first Stampin' Up! Stamp set was? Leave me a comment below to let me know.
I also included the scissors and my original bone folder both still in use today albeit, they are a wee bit worn from use!
We use to have to cut the rubber and then mount the stamps on the wood blocks. I still use these scissors today and truly wish Stampin' Up! would bring them back.

Love template #4!
I have never seen that stamp set that you first purchased.
This site is AWESOME! Thanks for taking the time to share with me!
My first set was one that contained a bunch of different hearts. I had been invited to a stamping party and was so blown away by all of the creative things that could be made using those stamps. I became addicted.
Each time I go on your blog i see and learn something!
Thank you for posting! You are a GREAT demonstrator!
Thanks for what you do! Thanks for what you help up to create!!
