Retro Rubber Challenge 246...

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a theme challenge to make a card with a winter theme.

I started by stamping and coloring this sweet snowman image.  Then I die cut and adhered him to some snowflake paper and popped that up on my card base.

I stamped the sentiment from Papertrey Ink’s Just Sentiments: Snow (2021) and die cut as well.  I added to the card, threw on some dots and was done!

Sea Turtles AYSI Style...

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

#332 9.13.24

This was such a great sketch!  So much so that I broke out my brand new SU! sea turtle stamp set.  Team member Jan Clothier is a champ at this set and after all of her beautiful cards – I had to have it!  (I just hope I did it justice!)

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 332 1

I started by running some white card stock thru my dotted circles embossing folder and my linen plate.  Then I die cut using my stitched rectangles.  I should have done this in reverse order because it flattened all my circles.  Lol.  Then I added some dsp and the twine.

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 332 2

I stamped the water and turtle, die cutting using the stitched rectangle and fussy cutting the turtle.  I added the sentiment and then put everything together according to the sketch.

Pears Have It For AYSI...

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to make a card with fruit!

#331 8.30.24

I dug out some old pear stamps and my pear pizzazz ink and paper – naturally.  I started the clock and set to work.  I cut down the card base, a piece of black and the white card front and ran them all through the linen plate.

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 331 1

I stamped random pears and only inked in one set of pears with the pear pizzazz and some crushed curry ink.  I stamped the sentiment and then used my washi punch on it and a piece of pear pizzazz.  I layered everything and was done.  With 2 seconds to spare.  I was sure I had more time than that left on the clock!  That ten minutes goes by fast in these speed challenges!

Retro Rubber Challenge 238...

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a theme challenge to make a card with camping or outdoor stamps and/or paper.

RRCB 238

I made my card before I remembered the camping part of the challenge image.  So my jeep and surfboard are on their way to a beach camp out!

Www.seejanestamp.com rrcb 238 1

I stamped my jeep, board and sentiment and backed with a bit of blue chalk.  I used my Heidi Swapp stamp set from her Stamp Therapy class.  I have had the stamp set for over a year.  In the end, I kept to my CAS style with this one.

Happy Trails For AYSI...

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

#326 6.21.24

I love a great sketch and this one is definitely open to interpretation.  I don’t know that I did it justice but my mind went to camping so I searched out some camping stamps and got started.  I stamped and colored my images before die cutting. 

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 326 1

The sentiment snugged up nicely with the car and trailer so that I didn’t have to ruin the clean lines of the Tahitian tide that I added underneath.  Just a nice pop of color all around!

Retro Rubber Challenge 233...

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a tic tac toe and I opted for sequins, summer and die cut.

RRCB 233

I started by stamping the shells, bucket and thongs from my Lawn Fawn Life is Good stamp set from 2014.  I colored with my alcohol markers and then die cut.

Www.seejanestamp.com rrcb 233 1

I die cut the chair from SU! summer splash, adhered to the card base and then filled in the beachy stuff around it.  A quick sentiment and the sequins completed the card.

Pretty In Pink For AYSI...

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  We have a recipe challenge to use an embossing folder, black, white, one other color and die cut.

#323 5.10.24

I opted to stamp my image (in pretty in pink as my one other color) randomly on the white card stock.  Then I embossed with my tasteful texture embossing folder.

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 323 1

I stamped the sentiment, die cut it as well as the white card front.  Then I adhered the card front to the pretty in pink cardstock and then onto black.  Finally, I added a strip of black behind the sentiment to anchor everything together.

Lighthouse Sketch For AYSI...

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

#320 3.29.24
I started by stamping my lighthouse and then die cutting.  I went rectangle instead of circle, but that’s the great thing about this sketch – you can change up the shape!

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 320 1

I decided to get creative with the way I stamped the sentiment and I love how it turned out.  As you can see, I split the sentiment and used the word light to keep to the sketch requirements.  Once I had all the parts of the sentiment done – I added that bit of twine to keep with the oceany feel.  I popped the whole thing up on a piece of real red, adhered that to the white card base and was done.

Enduring Beauty For AYSI...

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a fill in the blank!  My latest craft purchase is the enduring beauty stamp/stencils/dies set from Stampin’ Up!

#316 2.2.24

I used the stencils to create a soft floral image and then die cut.  This stencil set is amazing and is going to get some use from me.

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 316 1

I die cut a piece of vellum to serve as my back drop and then added the floral image.  I stamped the sentiment and die cut along with some green leaves.  I layered everything together, added some pearls and twine and was done.
