The
current challenge at A Blog Named Hero caused me to dig into my stash of old Hero Arts stamps. I found these stamps from the 2005 "ribbon" series (F3340, F3341 & F3343)! How's that for oldies? I stamped them,overlapping, with Hero Arts Mid-Tone and Shadow Inks. Kind of like old-fashioned washi tape, eh?
A couple other old favorite stamps used here are CL242 (the robot) from 2008 and CL400 (the elephant) from 2010. I used them with some Martha Stewart papers, some Nestibilities dies, Copic pens and some Stickles to complete these Valentines. Here's a couple of shots of the robot. I love the results!
This was a fun challenge. I regularly purge my stamps, but there are some that I will always keep because I love them so much! Hope you can play along and enjoy some old "friends".
Have a great day - it's National Pie
Day in the USA!- and thanks for stopping in!

so cute! love the old-fashioned washi tape!!! There is a stamp sale every spring here and I have sold many of my older stamps through the years. Makes room (and $$) for more! :-)
These are sooo cute, Maureen! They are the perfect Valentine's cards! I love that you dig out the older stamps and put them into great use!
So are you making pie Maureen? Love these cuties! Yes, although I also purge there are just some I cannot get let go of!
I've never seen those ribbon series stamps - love them and your cards are adorable, Maureen!
Darn! I would have made a pie today if I'd known! Until I read your post I thought that was washi tape!! I love how you've breathed new life into these oldies but goodies:). Both cards are adorable- you do Valentine's so well!!
fabulous Maureen. Great cards.
Hi Maureen, I love your cards, what a great way to make the "oldies" shine again. Perfect for these cards. Such wonderful cards
Darling Valentines, Maureen! Yikes - you purge stamps, what a concept - one I need to embrace!
wow-these totally look like washi tape and I would have never guessed that they weren't had you not told me! Great cards...that mini envelope is a perfect touch....and the googly eyes....loving the googly eyes!
What a genius idea for faux washi tape!! It looks awesome! And I love that happy, googly eyed robot. :)
