Vintage Victorian First Communion Cards




I found these amazing cards a few weeks ago, and I'm still so excited about them! I have no idea how old they are, but I'm thinking at least 50 years old, if not more. The big first communion card is 3-D, and folds out to reveal an even more amazing design. I also found matching small gift enclosure cards that were incredibly detailed and sweet. In all the things I've found while out "treasure hunting," these cards rank among my all-time favorites. I'd like to use these for papercrafting projects, but I think I'm going to have to figure out how to do really good color copies, because I just can't use the originals this time!

  1. I am glad I found your blog. I, too love vintage images and remeber having one of those pictures from the first communion of my granddads. Unfortunately time has gone by and it might be lost now. The only hope is the attic. I will add your site to my blog list and hope you will show lots more of your beautiful treasures.

    Cheers
