It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s an inspiration challenge to use winter related stamps and/or papers on your card.

I went super clean and did a wintery scene from my Papertrey Ink Winter Hills stamp set from 2012.  I did a tone on tone with soft greys.

I popped up on the base and added the sentiment.  A CAS card to start the year!

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s an inspiration challenge to use the images or colors in the picture!

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.

I layered everything together and added the sentiment (from Clearly Besotted Message Me 2016) and some bling.

I have not played along with any challenges in I don’t know how long but mojo struck so I thought I would give it a try!  I am playing along with the sketch from The Paper Players and the colors from The Card Concept.  It’s a clean and layered card and I am quite pleased with the results.

I started with stamping the fence in Sahara sand and soft suede directly on the card base.  I stamped the snowman in London fog and added the hat, arms, and face before die cutting it. 

I stamped, cut and then added the bits of garland and a couple of birds to the fence before adding the snowdrift and snowman.  The sentiment is contrary to a snowman’s wishes – he would want cold blessings!

This card really came together for both challenges – the sketch showcases the colors and wintery inspiration for the card.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a Christmas inspiration challenge and is our last one for this year.

I started with a card base of soft suede that I attached some woodgrain pattern paper to.  I die cut a couple of tags and added some scraps to the top tag after I stamped the sentiment.  Sorry for the shine on the bottom of the tag...I couldn't get a picture that didn't have it!

The sentiment comes from my Papertrey Ink Cozy Christmas set from 2016.  I tied some twine to the tags, adhered to the card base and was done.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s time for an inspiration challenge so here is my take.

I was inspired to use the colors and make a mini bouquet.  I used my stamps from Papertrey Ink Bitty Bouquet from 2015.

I die cut a lattice out of grayish polka dot paper for the background (using the tabletop in the picture for that inspiration).  I used rustic white for my card base and for the little square I popped my flowers up on.  A small sentiment, thread and some bling and I was done.

I focused on the delicious looking purple ice cream firmly believing it has to be huckleberry ice cream.  That stuff is good!

I stamped the popsicle image from Reverse Confetti’s Let’s Chill stamp set from 2015.  I colored with my purple blends – making some wavy lines and stripes.  I added the sentiment and was done.

Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge.  This is a Christmas challenge to be inspired by the photo.

I started by die cutting this set of candles in white.  I knew I was going to use cherry cobbler as my base so I knew it would be striking!

I added some black and white plaid before attaching the die cut.  Finally, I added the sentiment from my Papertrey Ink Keep It Simple Joyeux Noel stamp set from 2017.  A few stars and I was done.

It’s a new challenge at Retro Rubber!  We have an inspiration challenge to use either the color or items from the image on a card.

I trotted out my trusty umbrella die and whipped up three umbrellas using the inspiration colors.

I added the sentiment from the SU! weather together stamp set from 2016.  I love the font and the saying so much.  And yet, it’s the first time I have used the saying!  Shame on me!

I adhered everything to white and then to a crumbcake card base.

I opted to use the colors to inspire me.  I love the pink, gold and white combination.  So I started by die cutting this leaf pattern and backing it with gold paper.

I added the sentiment and a few hearts before adhering to the card base.  My sentiment stamp is from the 2016 Clearly Besotted Message Me stamp set.

Welcome to the last Retro Rubber Challenge of 2017!  It’s a color inspiration challenge just in time for the holiday season.

I went with clean and simple and opted to use the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch.

I stamped the tree from the PTI Layered Postmarks: Holiday (from 2012) in spring moss with the script in ripe avocado.

I added the sentiment and then ran the card thru the linen impression plate.  I actually set out to make a layered card with an old truck and some trees.  That ended up in the garbage.  Sometimes the card in my mind is not what it is in reality!  LOL!
