It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  We are charged with making a masculine card.

I struggled with this challenge and ended up making two cards and opted to go with this one.  Father’s day is right around the corner.

I stamped the father and son images and then colored.  I stamped the sentiment and popped it up.  This time of year makes me miss my dad the most and wish for the days that I could hold his hand.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a celebration of summer so your card must be summer themed with stamps, paper or both.

I started by coloring and die cutting a sand castle and accoutrements for a little beach scene.  I used my Lawn Fawn Life Is Good stamp set from 2014.

I adhered all of the pieces and then added the sentiment.  Life is good!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  A fun recipe to use pattern paper, ribbon or twine, a die cut, a birthday sentiment and heat embossing.

I started by die cutting a vase and leaves out of various pattern paper.  Then I added a swirl of thick silver thread and added the die cuts.

I heat embossed the sentiment and then used my washi tape punch before popping it up on the vase.  A little bling and I was done.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s Anything Goes!

I started with a sweet clean and simple card that I made for a friend of mine.  I stamped a flower image from The Greetery Summer Sketches (2019) and then outlined it with a stamp from my PTI Outlined stamp set from 2016.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment from my PTI Keep It Simple Gift for You stamp set (2017).

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  This is a fill in the blank challenge.  My favorite first flower of spring is daffodils.  I know it’s finally spring when I see them!

I started by stamping the daffodils, leaves and fillers and then colored them with my alcohol inks.  I die cut and then adhered to the card base.

A soothing sentiment and I was done.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  A fun tic tac toe.  I opted for the pinks or reds/heat embossing/romantic occasion.

I started by heat embossing the image in black and then coloring using my alcohol markers in rococo rose and old olive.  The image is from The Greetery Sketchbook Roses from 2019.

I die cut the image and then popped up on the card base.  I finished by adding the sentiment.  Although this doesn’t have a specific romantic occasion, I quite like the idea of a surprise romantic card.

I stamped this cute House Mouse image and colored using my alcohol markers.  I used all the colors plus a bit of blue and papaya for the mouse’s face.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  This one is a sketch which I love!

I started by stamping the flowers in calypso coral and pear pizzazz.  The image is from the Papertrey Ink Flower Favorites stamp set from 2015.  I also stamped the sentiment which is from My Favorite Things Delicate Pretty Poppies from 2016.

I backed the images with a piece of calypso coral cardstock and then distressed the edges a bit.  I added a piece of coral, doily and button to complete the sketch.

I stamped the hello sentiment from my SSS flip flop season stamp set from 2015.  I colored using pastel alcohol makers.

Then I stamped some confetti images in pastel colors using my PTI birthday cheer stamp set from 2015.  I die cut the hello and popped up over the confetti and was done!
