Tutti-frutti Topiary Tree
The stamp set Vertical Greetings usually catches someone’s eye because the vertical greetings designs are an interesting alternative to regular greetings. That’s one reason I bought it! But I also think the topiary tree designs are fun.
Here is a fun and bright example. The Tutti-futti Sequins (from the 2018 Occasions Catalog) were out on my stamp desk and they inspired the color selection. I used these three markers for the tree: lemon lime twist, pumpkin pie and melon mambo. The vase is bermuda bay.

May your glass always be half full
Well. A short break for a few weeks turned into a long break of a few months away. Where does the time go? I just started introducing new Annual Catalog stamps! Now I’m back today with a card using one of my favorite sets from the new Holiday Catalog, Half Full.
Yes, I like wine, so the images appealed to me. But I also like the fact that this set can be used throughout the year. This card is an example.

Presto Chango
Earlier this month I attended On Stage, a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator event. One of the fun things to do at these events is to swap. Since I didn’t make a lot of time for my swaps, I pulled a few of my cards and made new versions. Here is a card from a class I held last spring. I love the Bermuda Bay and Blackberry Bliss color combo, with the dash of Delightful Dijon.
However, some of the elements for this card are retired, so I played around with some new elements and … Presto Chango … same card with new color combo!
