#TBT #ThrowbackThursday #StampinUp - Sharing my older SU Demo Cards - SU Marvelous Morning Glory & SU DD Daisy

Back again trying to find my mojo thru my series of #tbt #throwbackthursday posts of newly found older SU Demo Cards I made back in the day.
1) I don't think I ever owned SU Definitely Decorative Morning Glory and borrowed this set from my friend Maylene at the time who is the one at fault for turning me onto SU in the first place.  
Here again, I had very few supplies so made do with what I had.  
I remember being so happy with myself because I successfully two stepped stamped using only Only Orange and pop dotted one of the flowers. I was on my way!  Even through in incorporating a wheel! In retrospect, I don't think I would have ever used or bought any of the wheels if one along with the handle wasn't already included in my Demo Start Up Kit.  


2) This next one I remembered just learning about the Shaving Cream method and I remember bringing an aluminum pan with me to hostess parties in people's homes to demo this technique.  This isn't the best looking card, but oh well. Sold a lot of bottles of reinkers at the time with this card and my previous Under the Water Sea Horse card


3) This next one was for a swap probably on 2 Peas in a Bucket. I loved these vintage papers (I cant' think of the manufacturer right now) and this first stamp from Anna Griffin that started appearing at Michaels.  What a hey day it was with using those coupons every week to amass my collection of Anna Griffin stamps.  The cards I sent out had a much lower scalloped edge border to show off more of the tulip flower.  This one I had held back because I had deemed it a reject for various reasons. Brings back good memories. 


Thanks for reminiscing with me!

Thanks for taking me on a trip down memory lane...only I've never been there before so this is all new to me and I'm loving it!

Those colors on the morning glory card really pop, love that corner punch on your hello card and that split front on your last card really sets the floral image off beautifully.

I hope you share more of your past work as I really enjoy seeing it.

Love the popped up morning glory design, Ching! So very pretty!

You got your shaving cream background to look so elegant. Mine always looked like a huge messy blob!

And I love the muted colors with the frilly tulip! Thanks for sharing these great cards from your past!
