Vertical Thank You

I used Wild Wasabi and Flirty Flamingo card stock to make this Thank You card. There are lots of possibilities using the vertical words by themselves or with other stamps in your collection. That's one of the reasons I wanted to get this set as there have been numerous times I wished I had a vertical "Happy Birthday" stamp. Well, now I do!

Vertical Greetings

Here's a fun card using the topiary from Vertical Greetings and add the little bird punched with the Tree Builder punch. I free-hand drew the wing and eye because I wanted my bird to face two different directions. The front of this card is cut 5/8" inch shorter lengthwise so that the Happy Birthday is visible when the card is closed.  The colors here are Cucumber Crush, Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral. The ribbon is retired, I think it was a Sale-a-Bration item many years ago. At one time I had two rolls of it. I finally broke open the second pack today!

Almost One Layer!

This is a simple card to make using the Vertical Greetings stamp set. I saw a similar card on Pinterest. I used the heavy Whisper White card stock for this card. I colored the stamp with my markers using Cajun Craze, Soft Suede and Always Artichoke. The sentiment was stamped using Basic Black archival ink and then I used the fine tip journaling pen to free hand draw the outline. The heavy linen thread is some left over from a past Paper Pumpkin kit.

Vertical Greetings meets Thoughtful Banners

For this card I stamped the potted topiary with Emerald Envy, Dapper Denim and Sweet Sugarplum. I used the Banner Duet punch after stamping the outline and expression. The Thoughtful Banners set is a photopolymer set and the expressions can be arched to match the banner shape. The thick twine in Emerald Envy is from the July paper pumpkin kit.

For You

A CASE of Mary Fish. I liked the simplicity of this card and the use of the little heart enamel shape. I did switch the colors and expressions from Mary's card. I've used Melon Mambo and Basic Gray instead of Real Red and Basic Black.

From Waves to Vines and Streamers

This first card uses the Swirly Scribbles thinlit used in yesterday's cards to make a vine. The flowers and leaves are stamped using the Swirly Bird stamp set and also diecut with the Swirly Scribbles thinlits. 

And in this second card the same "waves" thinlit used to make streamers on this celebration card. The balloln and stamps for it are from the Balloon Celebration stamp set. I used some of the new metallic shapes. The edge of the cut is fussy cut and the expression was stamped using the Vertical Greetings stamp.
