This lovely card came into my life recently. I only had the international version of it. It has been edited to look as it should have when it first was sold. It had some scrapes and scratches. This card is embossed and is very rare in any condition. This is the first time I have ever run into this card from the USA version. The colors are bright and gorgeous. It is from 1983 ! There are still many amazing cards out there to run into. I hope to add all the cards ever made to this archive. Thats still the plan!
Mother's Day cards are always a rare treat to find !This card is one I did not know existed. I have had never seen it before until recently. it is embossed on the front where the characters are. The words at the top and inside have a special red enamel over them that create a lifted smooth surface to the words. it is very neat. The inside is a beautiful hot pink. This card, as some of the other cards that have been displayed on my website archive, had writing inside that was edited out so that the archive can have the card as it would have been when it was originally purchased. This lovely card is from 1983 !
This gift tag was purchased from the estate of person who was an employee of American Greetings. It was part of a much larger lot of various other gift tag preproduction prototypes for the test market. This card is also dated MCMLXXVIII, that's 1978, which is the second time I find a card that pre-dates the 1979 AGC Officially observed yearof Strawberry Shortcakes beginnings. I have not seen this gift tag before. it is made with the Barbi Sargent Leader cards style. I am not sure if it has ever been produced for sale. An amazing little piece of Berry history!
This adorable card is very similar to another card I shared several years ago. They have the same image, but this one is not die-cut. It's amazing what a big difference the details or die-cutting and embossing a card makes in the presentation of these cards. This card is from 1981. I have added a image of the die-cut version for your reference.
I finally have this aisle card in my collection. I have had the international version of it for several years. When I saw this one pop up, I jumped on it quickly. The colors are so bright and vibrant. This is such a gorgeous card. Cherries sweet love and affection for Gooseberry shows in her cute little face. Goosey loves her too. I love this card!!
