It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a theme to use stitching or sewing.

I admit this one was a hard one for me!  I had to search through my stamps and dies pretty thoroughly but then I found these cute bobbin dies and voila – an idea was born!

I die cut the bobbins and added the twine and thread.  Then I stamped the sentiment on the pattern paper (perfectly suited with the cross stitched images) and a bit on one of the bobbins.

I added the bobbins and a few pearls and was done.  I love what I came up with!

Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s anything goes!

I started by using the blooming branch stamp set from The Greetery (April 2019).  I stamped the layers and then die cut.

I popped up the die cut and added this beautiful sentiment (from Papertrey Ink walk by faith - 2016) and was done!  Clean and simple.

Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  This time is a color challenge to use yellow and green.

I started with my hibiscus stamp from PTI’s Some Like It Hot stamp set from 2016.  I did some second generation stamping with the crushed curry and pear pizzazz.

I added the sentiment from Verve.  It was a thank you stamp from them for an order from many years ago.  I die cut a horizontal strip and then popped up on my card base.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It.  It’s a color challenge to use Bermuda bay, Cajun craze, crushed curry and white.

I started with some new stencils that I just got in the mail and used my three colors to make a bouquet of wildflowers.  I added the stamped bow in Cajun craze before die cutting the card front.

Because the die had cutouts, I added the three colors behind the card front to peak through.  Love it.  Finally, I added a sentiment strip and adhered everything to the card base.

Welcome to the new As You See It challenge.  A sketch to get your mind working!

I started with a card base of cinnamon cider.  Then I added a die cut rectangle of vanilla that I stamped the branch on.  Finally, I die cut a couple of rectangles out of mango melody and some pattern paper.

I stamped the sentiment and some leaves then die cut the sentiment strip.  I used some small punched fall leaves and acorn along with dots to complete the sketch requirements.

It’s a new challenge at Retro Rubber.  A fun tic tac toe.  I opted to use blue/rectangles/pattern paper.

I started by digging out some dark blue pattern paper and die cut a rectangle.  Then using my SU! envelope dies, I die cut a pattern out of white and adhered over the pattern paper.

I added an additional strip of pattern paper behind the rectangle, added some bling and the sentiment from Clearly Besotted Message Me (2016).
