Long before AI ever entered the picture, this collection began as a set of hand-drawn coloring pages. Between 2017 and 2020, each design started as a simple pencil sketch, built letter by letter and flourish by flourish until the words themselves became the artwork. Every piece was inked by hand and finished with the kind of ornamental detail found in old-world lettering — scrollwork, mandalas, star wreaths, and gothic blackletter — all created the traditional way, with nothing but a steady hand and a lot of patience.
The seven designs in this volume — No, Yes, Maybe, Think Happy Thoughts, It's Not Me It's You, Meow, and Rampant — grew out of that same coloring-page tradition, but were reimagined as bold, standalone text art. Each one plays with a different lettering style suited to its mood, from the flowing script of "Yes" and "Maybe" to the sharp-edged gothic feel of "Meow" and "Rampant," proving that a single word or short phrase can carry as much personality as any full illustration.
These designs translate beautifully onto everyday items, whether you're looking to make a statement or just add a little personality to what you carry. Stickers offer an easy way to bring any of these phrases along on a laptop, water bottle, or notebook, while phone cases turn a favorite line into something you see every day. T-shirts let the bolder designs — like "Rampant" or "Meow" — take center stage, and buttons offer a small, wearable way to share a bit of attitude wherever you go. Please note: Redbubble does not offer clear or accessible order cancellation. Once your order is placed, it should be treated as final — cancellation requests must go through Redbubble's support form, and by the time they respond, the order has typically already gone to print.

No
This bold, illuminated-manuscript-style "No" was created digitally in Paint Shop Pro, inspired by Cricut-style designs, with ornate flourishes and a floral filigree backdrop. The dramatic curl of the letterforms echoes old-world manuscript lettering, turning a single blunt word into a striking piece of decorative typography. Bring this statement design along on a laptop or water bottle as a sticker, or let it make a bold first impression printed across a t-shirt. It also works beautifully on a phone case sending a message, or as a small, wearable button for anyone who prefers their sass compact. Letting the world know, you are Not open for business.

Yes
Designed digitally in Paint Shop Pro with a Cricut-inspired sensibility, "Yes" is rendered in a flowing script and wrapped in an intricate mandala of scrollwork and botanical detail. The circular, symmetrical layout gives this affirmative word a meditative, almost decorative quality. This design's soft, rounded detailing makes it a natural fit for a sticker collection or a subtle phone case accent. It also translates well onto a small button worth pinning to a tote bag, with a message for shopping.

Maybe
A whimsical script "Maybe" sits inside a swirling mandala of curls and spirals, created digitally in Paint Shop Pro as part of the original 2017–2020 series, with a design sensibility drawn from Cricut-style cut art. The looping, unresolved line work visually echoes the indecision baked right into the word itself. For the perpetually undecided, this design makes a fun sticker for a notebook or laptop, or a playful phone case that says it best. It also suits a t-shirt for anyone who wants to wear their noncommittal side proudly, or a small button for a lighthearted accessory.

"Think Happy Thoughts" appears here in elegant script, framed by a wreath of stars and florals, digitally designed in Paint Shop Pro with a nod to Cricut-style layered artwork. Each star and petal was carefully composed before the design ever left the screen. This gentle, uplifting phrase works well as a sticker for a journal or planner, or on a phone case as a small daily reminder. It also makes a sweet, comforting t-shirt design, or a button to share a little positivity wherever it's pinned.

A playful script declares "it's not me, it's you," ringed by a starburst of florals and stars, digitally created in Paint Shop Pro and inspired by Cricut-style designs. The dramatic flair of the lettering gives this design a wink-and-a-smile kind of humor. This one's made for stickers on laptops, journals, or perhaps that certain coffee mug — visible to roommates, significant others, or even customer service. It also makes a standout, conversation-starting t-shirt, (not for customer service, or break ups) or a fun addition to a phone case or button for anyone who likes their designs a little cheeky.

Meow
06-Meow This gothic blackletter "Meow" was digitally rendered in Paint Shop Pro with interlocking flourishes and a spiraling tail, part of the same 2017–2020 series and inspired by Cricut-style cut designs. Its edgy, ornate style gives a playful word an unexpectedly fierce look.
Cat lovers with a taste for the dramatic will find this a great fit for a sticker or phone case, and it's bold enough to anchor a t-shirt design on its own. It also makes a striking little button for anyone who wants their cat pride with a bit of edge.
Rampant
"Rampant" was digitally lettered in Paint Shop Pro in a weathered gothic style, part of the collection's 2017–2020 origins and shaped by a Cricut-inspired design approach. Its bold, untamed linework gives the single word a fierce, larger-than-life presence. This striking design is built for a bold t-shirt statement, and it holds up just as well as a sticker or phone case for a subtler touch of attitude. It also makes an eye-catching button for anyone who likes to wear a little fierceness on their sleeve — or lapel.
