Vintage Victorian Calling Card Embellishment or Card; Twisted Papers image

Here is my version of one of my antique Victorian calling cards using a SU Sizzix scalloped envelope die. I used a $1 Victorian calling card image from www.TwistedPapers.com and some scrap paper for a quick, easy and inexpensive love note.

You have really missed the boat. Please google calling card history so you can understand how calling cards were used. Good luck.

@parlatop I love it! You say a really rude comment then use "please"

twistedpaper is great :) I'm so happy you told us about it!! I found another great site where they have like 1,000's of free ephemera images to print off...i love it :) such a beautiful project roxy! i have the same thing with one of my punches from MS...i always have to pull the paper out because it gets stuck!

[roxyfur]

what's the site? and were you able to fix your punch? I'ts so annoying!

Love this. As much as I love my Martha punches, they do like certain thicknesses of paper better than others. It may be sticking because the paper is too thin. Jean
