Retro card with Tune In. The Tune In stamp set features an image of an old fashioned TV from the 50s. You’ll find the bundle in the 2024-25 Annual Catalogue on page 67. If you recall those TVs, and grew up in that era there weren’t any remote controls back then. As a child, we were the “remote controls” – if Mum or Dad wanted to change channel (not many either to choose from) more often than not, the children were despatched to turn the dial !
This kicked off a trip down memory lane so I’ve made a few to show how I used all the dies.
