Retro Rubber Challenge 208...

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a color challenge to use at least three of these five colors – yellow, pink/red, green, orange and brown.

RRCB 208

I started by stamping three ice cream cones and coloring them with my alcohol markers.  These are from my Lawn Fawn Admit One stamp set from 2014.

I die cut them and then added the sentiment from Papertrey Ink Keep It Simple Friendship from 2017.  I thought the sentiment was perfect.  A sweet treat for a sweet friend.

Blue Flowers For AYSI...

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  We have a recipe challenge to use a frame, flowers, die cut, bow and shades of blue.

#299 5.19.23

I started by using my markers to ink the corn flower image.  I used three shades of blue and two green.  It made a lovely water colored image.  I framed the image in seaside spray with a sweet little balmy blue die cut bow.

I added a small sentiment and layered the card front on two more shades of blue and was done.

New Additions For AYSI...

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.

#298 5.5.23

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.

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 298 1

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!

Colors For AYSI...

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a color challenge to use parakeet party, so saffron, coastal cabana and gorgeous grape on your card.

#297 4.21.23

I do love color challenges but this one was tough.  And I picked the colors for it!  What was I thinking?? LOL!  I will admit that I like how abstract these colors look together.  I started by stamping the pear image in parakeet party and adding the sentiment.

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 297 1

Then I used dsp in the other three colors and die cut using my deckled edges.  I used a bit of black to transition between the papers.  I popped up the die cuts over some coastal cabana ribbon and added a couple of dots.

Sweet Wishes For AYSI...

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

#296 4.7.23

I started by stamping and die cutting the honey jar for the centerpiece of my sketch.  I used black ink to splatter all of my cardstock and then I die cut the bumblebee paper with my deckled rectangle edges.

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 296 1

I used my honeycomb die cuts for the other parts of the sketch and then adhered to the card base.  I popped up the honey jar and the sentiment and was done!

#295 3.24.23

I pulled out everything I needed and got started.  I stamped the image in crumbcake on my card base and then colored using alcohol inks.  I ran the card front and base through my linen plate.

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 295 1

I die cut with my deckled edges, adhered the ribbon to the back and then to the card base.  I added some dots and pearls and was done.  Surprisingly, I had 1 minute and 18 seconds left.

Tulips Mean Spring...

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a fill in the blank!  My favorite thing about spring is: all of the spring flowers.  Tulips, daffodils, irises.  I love to see them pop up in the spring after the cold winter.

#292 2.10.23

I stamped the tulip images and then colored using my stampin’ blends.  I die cut them and added a bit of linen thread.

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 292 1

Hugs For AYSI...

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a color challenge to use polished pink, sweet sorbet, Tahitian tide and night of navy on your card.

#291 1.27.23

I love a good collage card and these colors are perfect for making that happen.  I stamped the floral image in night of navy and then added the background in the rest of the required colors.

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 291 1

I used my deckled edges to die cut the card front and a piece of night of navy to back that.  It makes a great pop of color and helps draw your eye to the images.  I added some sweet sorbet dots and was done.

RRCB 195

I started by die cutting stars in several green papers.  I die cut a white star cover and then added the green stars in ombre order.

Www.seejanestamp.com rrcb 195 1

I stamped the sentiment from Papertrey Ink Simple Stars stamp set from 2014.  I adhered the star cover to the card base and was done!

Spooky Pumpkin Spice For AYSI...

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!

#286 10.21.2022

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. 

Www.seejanestamp.com aysi 286 1

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!)
