It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a theme challenge and it is all up in the air.

I went for birds and created this sweet birthday card.  I stamped and die cut the branch and birds.  These are layering stamps and I really love how they turned out.

To make them pop a bit, I added a stitched triangle underneath to also serve as a focal point.  I added the sentiment and was done.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a Tic Tac Toe challenge.  I opted for something mechanical, wood and twine or cord.

I started by stamping the tractor from my Stampin’ Up! Harvest Blessings stamp set from 2012.  I ran my card base through my woodgrain embossing folder and then cut some pattern paper.

I backed the pattern paper and tractor with old olive, added some thick twine and then layered it up on the card base.  The sentiment is from my often used Clearly Besotted Message Me from 2016.

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 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 a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a fun tic tac toe so let’s get to it!

I chose to go with ribbon, emboss, birthday.  I started by stamping some balloons in soft colors.  Then I added the sentiment and some balloon strings.  The stamps came from two different sets of stamps (SSS big birthday wishes – 2015 and Paper Smooches sentiment sampler) that I have had for more than five or six years. 

Then I embossed the white card stock (with my linen plate) and added an embossed strip of X's under the sentiment before adding my pool party ribbon.
