Happy WCMD everyone!! I'm visiting my parents today and brought some vintage cards from the 1950s to upcycle with my mom. Not sure of the brand since the box top was missing but they were so pretty and in great condition! I can't remember if I got them from my maternal grandmother or one of her sisters but one of them bought them in the '50s and never used them! I die cut a bunch of them using the Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop Set by A Jillian Vance Design. We embellished with some gems from JoAnn's and some sentiment strips from Simon Says Stamp.
First - here's my mom's set:
Next - a few I made. I'm not sharing them all but I made 3 more for a total of 10 that Mom & Dad can mail out this holiday season.
Here's Mom working diligently with glue. She needed some help with the small bits like gems she wanted to add.
And here's a selfie of Mom & I - barely got the cards in there, oh well...
I enjoyed sharing my card making with Mom! Hope you had a wonderful WCMD too!! If you're looking for my September Card Chain reveal post, go HERE. Thanks for stopping!!

That was such a lovely idea and fancy keeping those vintage cards. I am so glad they now have a new lease of life. Your Mum looks like she enjoyed it. My mother died in 1989 when I was 33 so make the most of your time with yours xx
