Stamp Simply Challenge #17 - Tall and Thin
Challenge #17 - Keyword ssnotime17 - There is no time limit. You can play this challenge and upload your project at Splitcoast and/or your Blog, anytime at all! You can play as many times as you like!!! The point is to keep it simple, quick and have fun!!! Please link back here.
Today’s challenge is (you guessed it) to make a card that is *tall and thin* — and by that I mean a card that is oriented vertically, such as one to fit a standard business sized envelope, SU’s open end envelopes, or anything along those lines. DO NOT orient the card horizontally like we did last week — I DO NOT want a long and low card, I want a *tall and thin* card — OK? Last week’s challenge to do a long and low card was the most participated in challenge I have run — so, thinking you all might like this size/shape card, I decided to continue with the same, only to orient it vertically this time, so hope you don’t mind. No other rules — just have fun! But remember, the theme of my challenges in general is to *stamp simply*, so let’s just keep that in mind!

I made my sample card to fit SU’s small open end envelopes. My card is 6 1/2 x 3 1/4. My card base was cut 6 1/2″ square and scored in half, creating a side fold card. This is an ultra simple card. The main image is stamped on black in Versa Mark, embossed in white and matted on white. The little flower and pearl are both attached with Mini Glue Dots and are from the Pretties Kit. The sentiment is rubbed on from SU’s new Eastern Elegance Rub Ons. The Groovy Guava is the textured. The ribbons are SU retired black organdy (oh, how I miss that!) and the dotted organdy is Offray.
- Stamps: Time Well Spent

That’s it for now!!! I am really loving this shape of card, whether it be long and low or tall and thin. Hope you all can play sometime this weekend — have a great one!!! Thanks much!!!
