Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It is anything goes!

I started by using a stencil of berry leaves and randomly sponging the images on my card front.

I added the sentiment from PaperTrey Ink’s It’s the Thought stamp set from 2016.

Finally I ran the card front thru my linen plate and die cut with a stitched die before adhering to the always artichoke 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).

It’s a new As You See It Challenge.  This one is a speed challenge (under 10 minutes) and to use elements of three. 

I started with three leaves in three colors.  Then I added three sentiments and ran the card front thru the linen impression plate and the zig zag stitched rectangle die.

Finally I added three dots and adhered to the card base.  My remaining time:  0.02 seconds.  I cut it close!

Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  We have an embellishment challenge to use buttons!

I decided to make a tag.  I broke out my SU! French foliage stamps from around 2010 or so and inked them up in different colors.

My tag was already die cut from a project I started to make years ago so I don’t remember what the name of the die is.  I added the sentiment (Clearly Besotted message me 2016), the ribbon and the buttons and was done.

Welcome to a new As You See It Challenge!  This one is all about vacations.  Do you have a dream vaca?  Or a favorite one that you have been on?

When I was a kid, we would go camping in the mountains.  It never failed that where ever you put the sleeping bag, it was on a rock!  I prefer glamping (in a nice hotel) now!

I used some fun outdoors paper, adhered and then die cut a rectangle.  I stamped the station wagon and camper in fun colors and then added the sentiment.

Finally I popped up on a vanilla card base.  Link up HERE to play along.

Welcome to a new As You See It challenge!  We have a recipe for you this time.

Finally I added the sentiment and was done!

It’s a new challenge at Retro Rubber!  We are partnering with the Double Trouble Challenge so you can play along with both!

We have a sketch challenge on which you must use at least one stamp older than a year.  The requirements for the Double Trouble Challenge are:

• Thing 1 – Trouble Maker: 3-2-1 Recipe: 3 colors – 2 embellishments – 1 old stamp
• Thing 3 – Twisted Sister: Follow our RRCB sketch with at least one angular shape.
• Thing 2 – Double Dare (Optional): If you used the RRCB sketch and the 3-2-1 Recipe be sure to link your card Double Trouble’s challenge to receive an additional chance to be in Double Trouble’s random draw.

I started with a soft green polka dot panel and added a hexagon shape instead of the triangle.  I used my Rubbernecker Summer Meadow stamps that I have had for several years and colored them using some distress inks. 

I added a piece of summer starfruit paper to add a little pop and then added the sentiment (from Simon Says Stamp You Got This – 2017) and embellishments.  I followed our sketch and Thing 1 and 3 for the Double Trouble Challenge.

Welcome to a new As You See It Challenge.  This time around we have a fill in the blank.  One of my favorite movies is Dirty Dancing.

I started with this leaping dancer image and colored in with my pencils.  Don’t let this fool you…this is actually me leaping into Johnny Castle’s waiting arms.  What you won’t see is his immediate collapse from the catch because it is out of the frame.  Lol.

Then I stamped the sentiment, die cut and backed with some mango melody before adhering to the card base and adding some bling.

It’s a new challenge at Retro Rubber and we are all about the summer!

As I was getting ready to make my card, I noticed a couple of my teamies used flip flops and had the same sentiment so I made it a trio because I couldn’t resist!

I started by chalking a sun on the card base.  Then I die cut the flip flops and sunglasses out of fun colored paper and adhered to the card.

Finally I added the sentiment (from my PTI flipping out stamp set from 2012) and was done.
