It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  The challenge is to use shades of blue and make a card in ten minutes or less.

I started by running my blueberry bushel card base thru my linen plate.  Then I ran the white card front thru the linen plate and die cut the stitched rectangle.

I stamped the feathers in three shades of blue – marina mist, bashful blue and soft sky.  The sentiment was stamped in blueberry bushel.  I adhered the card together and then decided it needed some bling.

With just over two minutes left, I thought I had plenty of time to put some bling on there.  Well, I didn’t!  I had just found what I wanted to use when the timer went off.  So the card was done with 0 seconds left and no bling!

Welcome to a new As You See It Challenge.  This one is fill in the blank!

My favorite color to wear is lime green!  So I used my retro circles and some lemon lime twist ink to stencil the background.

Then I added the sentiment that I backed with a bit of black.  I finished off with a few black rhinestones.

For our new challenge at As You See It, we have a color challenge of calypso coral, daffodil delight and mossy meadow.

I started by stamping two hibiscus flowers in calypso coral.  I added a bit of leaves and the flower stems in the appropriate colors.

I die cut around the images using my stitched arch and popped up over a panel of daffodil delight and mossy meadow that I centered on kraft cardstock.  I finished off with a few dots and bling for interest.

It’s Anything Goes at Retro Rubber! 

I started with a funky die cut rectangle out of some musical paper.

Then I flagged a couple of scraps of paper and popped them up after adding my sentiment.  I thought it appropriate given my paper!

The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted Message Me from 2016.  A little bling finishes the card!

It’s a new challenge at Retro Rubber and we have a surprise for you!  We are partnering with Try Stampin’ on Tuesday!  We are using their sketch and pairing it with our requirement to use stamps older than a year.  This is double the fun! You can link up your entry with both challenges. 

I love a good sketch and this was a fun one!  I pulled out my W+9 Punny Produce: Peaches from 2014 and set to work.  I stamped the peach in black, peach parfait and pear pizzazz before die cutting the mini scalloped square.

Using my flag dies from Reverse Confetti, I die cut flags in some plaid and solid paper and stapled them together instead of running the flags across the top.  Then I popped up the mini square and added the sentiment!

I love this card!  Play along with Try Stampin’ and RRCB by linking up HERE and HERE!

It’s time for a new As You See It challenge.  This is a fill in the blank challenge. 

When I think simple, I think clean and simple.  I love a one layer card so I started with this lovely poppy image that I used my chalks on and then decided to add one small layer with my sentiment.

I loved how this card turned out!  Play along and link up HERE!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  This challenge requires using all of the elements listed on the challenge image.  I love these challenges!!

I started with a card base of white and added some pattern paper in both dots and stripes.  The pattern paper is poppy parade so I added a bit of solid poppy parade to separate the patterns. 

I added a cut card front and a bow to finish all the requirements!

We are starting a new challenge at Retro Rubber!  It’s a tic tac toe courtesy of Jan Clothier.  I puzzled a bit on this one and finally went for the bottom row of animals, windows and circles.

I rolled the window and circles together by die cutting a stitched circle in the card front that I popped up on the card base.

Before adding the card front, however, I stamped this sweet puppy and colored with my pencils.  It is from the SU! Bella & Friends.  This stamp set came out in 2016 and I purchased it as soon as I saw it that year.

I added a bit of chalk around the image to ground the little guy and then stamped the sentiment on the card front.  I love the saying and always think of Toy Story when I see it.  And now I am humming the tune.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  We have a fun sketch for you to try.

I started with a base of white.  I added a piece of white cardstock that I die cut a curved edge into and then backed it with a piece of lemon lime twist that I cut a curved edge into as well.

I added the kiwi pattern paper to the base before layering the white/lemon lime twist combo.

I found the “sweet” sentiment and stamped it on a washi tape die cut that I popped up over the kiwis.  I added the button with some twine and was done.

Welcome to a new challenge at Retro Rubber!  It’s a photo inspiration so you can use either the colors or the items in the photo to create your card.

I opted for the colors, creating a bit of a patriotic theme with some stars and stripes but using a sentiment that is distinctly not patriotic.

I added a few papers from my stash to a base of rustic cream cardstock and then die cut with a double stitched die.

I added the sentiment from the Papertrey Ink choose joy stamp set from 2015 and a sweet arrow from the Simon Says Stamp choose happy stamp set from 2016.  I popped the whole thing up on a base of kraft and was done.
