It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a tic tac toe and I opted for frame, snowman and trees.

I started by die cutting a window frame on the front of the card.  Then I opted to do something a bit different for me by creating the scene on the inside of the card.

I stamped the fence and swag before adding and popping up the die cut tree and snowman.  These images are from my Papertrey Ink Fence Line Winter stamp set from 2018.

I added the sentiment (PTI Cozy Christmas 2016) and was done.  I like that the surprise is on the inside of the card!

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

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?

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a fun sketch to try!

I opted to turn this sketch into a three layered tree.  I die cut the layers out of different pattern papers and an embossed piece. 

I adhered to the card front, added the greeting and die cut with the deckled edges.  My sentiment came from Papertrey Ink Winter Village from 2016.  Quick, clean and simple – my favorite type of card!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  We have a recipe challenge to use an embossing folder, holiday, ribbon/twine, die cut and pattern paper.

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. 

I stamped the sentiment and then die cut it and some pattern paper to back it.  I added a bit of twine and all of the requirements were satisfied!

I started by die cutting a cup, marshmallows and candy cane with some fun holiday paper.  I die cut the white and plaid rectangles with my deckled rectangles.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to use Christmas baubles on your card.

I started by stamping and die cutting an ornament.  I die cut a piece of parakeet party and white to showcase the ornament.

I added some sweet sorbet twine for a pop of color and layered everything up.  I was planning to add some bling but ran out of time as I was putting the last layer on the card.  Thus – I ended up with 0 seconds left!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a fill in the blank!  My favorite Christmas in July Creation is … a Christmas card in non-traditional Christmas colors.

I started with my stamp set from The Greetery and stamped all the flowers in bright tropical colors.  I did the greens in a traditional green and a bright green.

I die cut the hoop three times and layered together before adding a bit of twine at the top.  Finally, I die cut everything, layered on the hoop and then the card base and was done!  A fun bright tropical Christmas card for July!

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

I started with some images to create a bit of a monochromatic winter scene.  Trees, cabin and deer feel a bit wintery to me.  Or maybe I am already dreaming of winter?  Yikes!  What am I thinking!

I added the sentiment and die cut using my deckled edges rectangles, popped up on the card base and was done.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a color challenge and celebrates colors of the 70s.  We need to use three of these colors – harvest gold, avocado green, tomato red, burnt orange or brown.

For my card today, I pulled out a House Mouse stamp from 2020 and paired it up with a sentiment from my Papertrey Ink Christmas Critters sentiments from 2016.  This was such a happy accident as I was searching for the perfect sentiment and found it!

I stamped the image and then colored with my alcohol markers.  I die cut and then layered on poppy parade, old olive, mango melody and soft suede card stock.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  We are talking speed and snowflakes for this challenge! 

I started by creating an ornament shape on my card front with a little bit of ink blending.

I stamped snowflakes, added the sentiment and adhered to the card base.  I decided last second to add a bit of bling for some sparkle and was done.  Plenty of time left on the clock for me!  I had one minute ten seconds left!
