Welcome to a new challenge at Retro Rubber! We have a theme challenge for you that is all heart! Just use hearts on your card and at least one stamp older than a year and you are good to go!

I started with a stamp set from Papertrey Ink from 2013. And I have owned it since then! I stamped love and is all you need on white cardstock.

Then I die cut a string of hearts several times and adhered together before attaching to the card.

It’s your turn! Add a few hearts to a card and link it up HERE!

Supplies: CS: PTI white. SU! cherry cobbler. Inks: Memento black. Stamps: PTI wonderful words love. Dies: Sugarpea Design heart border. PTI linen impression plate.

Today I made a very clean and simple sympathy card. I started with one of my favorite flower stamps called cornflowers by Rubbernecker Stamps.

I used my markers to ink up the image in crisp cantaloupe, calypso coral, pear pizzazz and garden green.

I stamped the image, added the sentiment and a few pearls and enamel dots. A nice one layer card for a difficult reason.

Welcome to a new As You See It Challenge! We have a lovely sketch for you to try!

I started with some pattern paper and adhered to a large white base. I added a bit of black paper and twine to cover the edge of the pattern paper. I stamped a sentiment and then backed the card front with black after adding in some bits of doily on the edges.

I attached everything to a card base of rose red and was done!

Welcome to a new Brown Sugar Challenge! This one is an anything goes and our sponsor is Dr. Digi!

I started with the Dr. Digi image called Hole In One Hal. I used my colored pencils and colored him in and then added a bit of chalk around him as well.

I have a fun one layer card for you today! And quite by accident, it happens to fit the Paper Players challenge of a CAS card with flowers.

I stamped this sweet image and used my colored pencils and some chalk to showcase the image.

I used a sentiment from a different stamp set because I love the saying and thought it perfectly described two creatures that shouldn’t be friends but are! Just like real life!

Happy Wednesday! Today’s card was made for the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.

I started with panels of calypso coral, pattern paper, crisp cantaloupe and white. I layered them up according to the sketch.

I used markers to ink up my stamp and then created the image. I added my sentiment, some pearls and was done!

There’s still time for you to play along with the Retro Rubber Challenge! Just use snow on a card and you are good to go!

This is one of those cards that looked so much better in my head! I used white ink to stamp the snow flakes and add snow to the branches and you can hardly see either in the pictures. I tried several different ways to photo and maybe the lesson here is to use white embossing powder or invest in better white ink!

Anyway, I started with my tree images in green and then added the white.   I added the sentiment and then die cut the square. A little bit of washi and the card was done.

Today’s card was made for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge. And it allowed me to use my brand new super cute stamp set from SU! I have also been singing the song “you’ve got a friend in me” from Toy Story ever since I created this card! So don’t be surprised if you start singing it too!

I started by stamping the image on white and then coloring with my pencils and adding a bit of chalk around the image.

Then I backed the image with a piece of poppy parade and some plaid paper before adhering to a card base of white. A trip thru the linen impression plate completed the card.

Back before we had problems with the As You See It challenge website, I had made up this card for the sketch challenge which we currently have going. So I thought I would post it for today!

I started by die cutting pierced fishtail, a pierced rectangle and a mini scallop stitched rectangle out of coordinating papers. Then I stamped the flower image on the white square and layered everything together.

I stamped the sentiment and die cut the washi tape shape, popped it up over the other papers and added a button to finish everything off.

Thanks for stopping by today! I am off for the weekend and will be back on Monday with some more crafty goodness!

I think my colored pencils are going to be a permanent fixture on my craft table. I seem to be using them more and more as of late! And today is no exception.

I stamped my image and then colored it in. I added a bit of blue chalk around the image and a little gray chalk on the floor. The chalk is fairly dark when you view the card in real life and after I took my photos, it hardly shows up!

I die cut a curved edge on the white cardstock and then did the same to the pattern paper I added underneath. After I popped up the front on the base, I added the sentiment. The sentiment comes from the SU! mixed drinks stamp set. And although it was intended to pair with the drink images, I think the saying is appropriate any time!

Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to stop by tomorrow!

Supplies: CS: SU! white, so saffron, and cupcakes and carousels. Stamps: SU! cherish friendship and mixed drinks. Other: Colored pencils. Chalks. PTI linen impression plate. SSS curved edge die.
