It’s a lovely new challenge at House of Cards!  For this challenge you must use gold or pearl accents or the colors in the challenge image.

I opted for a gold and white theme.  I started with three die cuts of wine glasses and a congratulations sentiment.

Something about gold makes me think of happy occasions and we are entering the holiday season so it seemed appropriate.

I finished off the card with a few gold accents and my trusty linen impression plate.

It’s a new challenge at Retro Rubber!  It’s a photo inspiration so use the colors, items or harvest theme for your card!

My card is super clean and simple.  I stamped a trio of squash and added a sweet sentiment. 

I am using the Stampin’ Up! Gourd Goodness from 2017.  The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted Message Me from 2016.  Finally, I ran the card thru my linen impression plate and was done.

Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  For this challenge you can use the colors, the images, a school theme or a mix of them.

I went with the school theme when I actually started out planning to use apples.  But I found the fun pattern paper and went with it.

I backed some pattern paper with solid cardstock and adhered to the white card base.  Then I used the ABC image from the SU! bookcase builder stamp set from 2017 to stamp a background.

I opted for a repeat pattern with different inks and then added some twine across the top.  Just a fun little fact, the surface that I use in my photos is actually an old school desktop complete with pencil tray and ink well (which you can't see).

We have a new challenge at As You See It that starts today!  Once again, Amanda created a fun and challenging sketch!

I started by adding a thin piece of black cardstock to my white card base.  I thought this would be a nice substitute for the ribbon in the sketch.

Then I added three suitcases in one of my favorite colors – lemon lime twist!  I added the sentiment and then ran the card thru my linen impression plate.

These bags remind me of bags on the airport baggage carousel – except in better shape!  LOL!  The sentiment is a fun addition – because seriously – who doesn’t love going to see Grandma and Grandpa!

A new challenge at Retro Rubber begins today!  We have a fun tic tac toe challenge!

I opted for the die cut/stripes/bird combo.  I started with a piece of perfect plum that I ran thru my stripes embossing folder.  Then I die cut a sweet little bird out of raspberry ripple.

I stamped the sentiment (from PTI Summer Hills 2013) and then die cut with my stitched wonky dies.  I adhered the plum to the card base of crumbcake and then popped up the sentiment before adding some dots/pearls/rhinestones.

I went with my usual super clean and simple.  I stamped a sun from the SU! Over the Rainbow set (2015) and added some sweet sunglasses (SSS Flip Flop Season – 2015) to it. 

I stamped a fun sentiment, ran the card thru my linen impression plate and added a few rhinestones.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s time to confess what I am currently obsessed with.  Easy peasy…pattern paper.  I love to hoard it and think about using it.  LOL.

I found some paper that looks like I cut strips and added together when in reality it was a piece of pattern paper already sorted into strips.

I die cut a piece and then backed with lost lagoon.  I wrapped some cantaloupe twine around the cantaloupe base and then popped the pattern paper up on it.

A sweet sentiment that nods to the travel theme in the paper finishes off the card.

Happy July 1^st!  A new month and a new challenge at House of Cards.  Use a popsicle or other food item and/or the colors in the challenge image.

I found a scrap of this fun pattern paper and decided to let it do all the talking.  So I die cut it using a stitched rectangle and popped it up on a base of crumbcake.

Then I stamped the sentiment and and die cut it with my washi tape die and backed with a piece of melon mambo.  I added some fun twine at the top for interest!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a color challenge of flirty flamingo, crushed curry and black.

I decided to do a stripey background using the required colors.

Then I stamped the sentiment, die cut it and backed with a piece of crushed curry before popping it up on the base.

A few flirty flamingo hearts and I was done!

Welcome to a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s theme week and the theme is fresh!

I stole directly from the image and did a “sweet” little card with strawberries.  I stamped the image in wild wasabi and Sahara sand and then colored in with my pencils.

I die cut the image and then popped up over a stripe of pattern paper and cream cardstock.  I added the sentiment and was done!
