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!

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.

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?

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!

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.

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!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a fill in the blank!  The most recent addition to my craft stash is:  cardstock in the SU! retiring colors of pale papaya, pear pizzazz and Sahara sand.

I started by double stamping a vintage bottle in pale papaya and fussy cutting.  Then I die cut the dotted tag in all the colors and slotted some of the different dots in the tag.

I layered everything up, added the sentiment and popped up the bottle.  I hate to see Sahara sand and pear pizzazz go – they have been trusty colors I have used a lot.  What’s your new addition?  Make a card and let us know!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a fill in the blank!  For me, the spookiest thing on Halloween is always… pumpkin spice.  It’s a hard no from me on that flavor!

I started by stamping and die cutting a coffee cup in rustic cream with a mango melody lid and parakeet party straw.  I stamped the sentiment and then die cut the holder and attached to the cup. 

I stamped a spider web to add some spookiness and popped up the cup and added some dots and rhinestones.  This card is earmarked for a dear friend who lives for pumpkin spice season.  (A good friend overlooks bad taste – lol!)

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 fill in the blank.  The best thing about mothers is love! 

I started by stamping and coloring mother and daughter images and then die cutting.  I die cut some pattern paper and the sentiment and then layered everything up.

Moms lead us, teach us, cry with us and celebrate with us.  I miss my mom terribly and she did all of these and more.  She did it because she loved me.  She held my hand when I was young and I held hers when she got older.  Where you go, I go.  Love you and miss you mom!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It is a fill in the blank challenge to name a favorite technique.  I have many favorites but went with coloring for this challenge.  Just like a lot of people, I find coloring very soothing!

I started with my happy hedgehogs stamps from SU!  I love me some hedgies!  I stamped up the scene and then used my alcohol markers to color away.

I fussy cut the butterfly and popped up on the card after die cutting the images and backing with some daffodil delight pattern paper.  I stamped the sentiment and popped it up as well.  Finally, I added some dots and was done.

I don’t know that I really have a favorite animal but I do love koalas so I stamped this sweet image and colored with my alcohol markers.

A soothing sentiment and I was done.
