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

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.

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!

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

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!

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.

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

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. 

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

I started by stamping and die cutting these great images from the Stampin’ Up! Rustic Crate.  This was a must have for me when the set came out.  I colored the flowers and produce with my alcohol markers and stamped the crate.

I added some plaid dsp on white and then die cut to provide the background for my crate image.  I also cut down a piece of corresponding dsp and backed it with black before layering everything on the card.  My final step was the sentiment which was a perfect fit over the crate.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to tell us about your hobbies!

I love to read and actually made a card with the one book stamp I have.  But I didn't like it.  So I changed to my other favorite hobby - cardmaking!  I have had this particular image for a while and it suits this challenge quite nicely.  

I stamped my image and sentiment, colored in with my alcohol markers and layered it up.  It was meant to have some dots but I knew I couldn't get them on in time so I stopped with 5 seconds to spare!

What’s your hobby?

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a theme challenge to use make a beach card.

I started by stamping some palm trees and then die cutting them in a stitched triangle shape.    I stamped a little bit of sand and used some chalks to create a little sun and blue sky.

I stamped the jeep and then fussy cut.  I was feeling the vibe of someone who drives their jeep to the beach so they can surf.  I grew up landlocked so I have no idea what that actually feels like.  Lol.   I adhered everything to the card base and added the sentiment and was done!
