Christmas Stars For AYSI...

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to use stars!

#313 12.1.23

I leaned into the star theme and finished my card in 10 minutes exactly.  I started by running the cardstock thru the linen plate and then the real red and white thru the star spangled impression plate.  I adhered the three layers together.

I die cut the star and cut down a couple of pieces of bitty star paper and then adhered to the white.  I stamped the sentiment, added the gold star and then some enamel stars.  Oof!  My hands were shaking at the end!

Christmas For AYSI...

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a theme challenge to make a Christmas card.

#312 11.17.23

I started by die cutting the grid design in white.  I cut a piece of cherry cobbler to go behind the white.  But before I adhered them together, I ran the cherry cobbler through my sheet music impression plate.  It’s hard to see but you can just see the faint outlines of notes and staff.

I then stamped the small stable and star.  I added the sentiment and some rhinestones to finish off the card.  Once it was done, I spent considerable time rethinking my color combinations but in the end, I decided to keep them.  To be honest, if I was to redo the card, I would have probably swapped out the stable color to cherry cobbler.  Hmmm…I guess I may not be as satisfied as I thought?  LOL!  Don’t you hate it when you start to second guess yourself?

#311 11.3.23

I stamped and die cut this sweet image and colored using my alcohol markers.  I love using nontraditional colors for holiday cards and this little gal needed a pop or two of color!  I die cut and embossed some bubble bath paper for my backdrop.

Vellum Does It...

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a fill in the blank!  My favorite thing to do with vellum is emboss!

#310 10.20.23

I rarely use vellum, but when I do, I like to emboss it.  And then I wonder, why don’t I do this more often?  I started by stamping my image and coloring with alcohol markers.  I die cut the image and a piece of vellum to go over the top.

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 310 1

I embossed the sentiment and then popped the whole thing over some gold thread and added some colored rhinestones.  What is your favorite way to use vellum?

Gone Fishing For AYSI...

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a color challenge to use misty moonlight, copper clay, white, and a neutral.

#309 10.6.2023

I needed a retirement card and just got my gone fishing dies so perfect timing!  I started by stamping a background from my SU! gorgeous leaves stamp set.  I think it’s supposed to be a woodgrain but it is doubling for my water.  I used misty moonlight ink after I stamped it off once.

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 309 1

I die cut the bobber three times in white and then once in copper clay (leftover pieces that had been woodgrain embossed).  I layered up the bobber and then added the copper clay on the bottom half and for the hook.  I stamped my sentiment and then ran it through my twisted rope embossing folder.

After that I layered the white on some black and then on the misty moonlight base.  I am super happy with the results and also hope the recipient recognizes the fishing tackle.  LOL!

Sunflower Crates For AYSI...

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a fun sketch challenge!

#308 9.22.23

I started by stamping and die cutting these great images from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate.  This was a must have for me when the set came out.  I colored the flowers and produce with my alcohol markers and stamped the crate.

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 308 1

I added some plaid dsp on white and then die cut to provide the background for my crate image.  I also cut down a piece of corresponding dsp and backed it with black before layering everything on the card.  My final step was the sentiment which was a perfect fit over the crate.

Hobbies For AYSI...

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to tell us about your hobbies!

#307 9.8.23

I love to read and actually made a card with the one book stamp I have.  But I didn't like it.  So I changed to my other favorite hobby - cardmaking!  I have had this particular image for a while and it suits this challenge quite nicely.  

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 307 1

I stamped my image and sentiment, colored in with my alcohol markers and layered it up.  It was meant to have some dots but I knew I couldn't get them on in time so I stopped with 5 seconds to spare!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a theme challenge to use make a beach card.

#306 8.25.23

I started by stamping some palm trees and then die cutting them in a stitched triangle shape.    I stamped a little bit of sand and used some chalks to create a little sun and blue sky.

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 306 1

I stamped the jeep and then fussy cut.  I was feeling the vibe of someone who drives their jeep to the beach so they can surf.  I grew up landlocked so I have no idea what that actually feels like.  Lol.   I adhered everything to the card base and added the sentiment and was done!

#305 8.11.23

A tall order!  I started by stamping some different pattern leaves in shades of yellow.  It’s hard to see the difference but I used crushed curry, daffodil delight and bumblebee.  I added the sentiment and then die cut.

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 305 1

I die cut a couple more circles out of daffodil delight and crushed curry pattern paper.  I layered everything and added the dots.  All ingredients accounted for!

Lemony Sunshine For AYSI...

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a fill in the blank!  The thing I love most about summer is spending time with friends and family and enjoying a nice cold drink!

#304 7.28.23

I dug out my brand new Stampin’ Up! So Refreshing stamp set to make this card.  I stamped the images and then die cut them.  I wanted to use summery colors – yellows for the summer sunshine and purple for summer flowers.

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 304 1

I started with a light lemon lolly gingham background to set the scene.  Then I added a sprig of flowers and the cloth while layering everything else up.  What is your favorite thing about summer?  I look forward to seeing what you create!
