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

I started out by embossing a piece of night of navy with my twisted rope embossing folder.  I die cut it down with a stitched die and then added a piece of twine before adhering to the kraft card base.

I stamped and die cut the anchor image and also the sentiment.  These are from my Papertrey Ink Seas of Life stamp set from 2021.  Clean and simple.

I went clean and simple with a love card.  I stamped and die cut a pink boxwood heart and then stamped the love over the image as well as the card base.

I popped the heart up to add a bit of interest and finished off with some heart dots.  The stamps were all from The Greetery – Mini Boxwood Heart and Love is (2021).

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

I decided to die cut the word love as my four shapes per the sketch.  I die cut three of each letter and then stacked together.  I dug out a piece of pattern paper, cut it down a bit and then used a curved edge.

I wanted to stick with the one color theme so I die cut a piece of highland heather to go under the pattern paper and then layered everything according to the sketch.  I added a few rhinestones to add a bit of bling and was done.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s anything goes!

I started by stamping a boxwood heart with calypso coral and blushing bride.  The boxwood heart is from The Greetery in February 2021.  I die cut it and then die cut a deco piece so that it can serve as the background.

I die cut love twice to add some depth and then put everything together.  My final two steps were the always and forever from the boxwood stamp set and some bling.   I now have one wedding card should I need it this summer!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a fill in the blank.  The best thing about mothers is love! 

I started by stamping and coloring mother and daughter images and then die cutting.  I die cut some pattern paper and the sentiment and then layered everything up.

Moms lead us, teach us, cry with us and celebrate with us.  I miss my mom terribly and she did all of these and more.  She did it because she loved me.  She held my hand when I was young and I held hers when she got older.  Where you go, I go.  Love you and miss you mom!

I had time this weekend to make up a card that fits three challenges.  I am playing along with The Paper Players (theme challenge of love and friendship), The Card Concept (I was inspired by the colors to make my clean and layered card) and Sunday Stamps (that provided the sketch)!

I dug out my PTI pack your bags stamp set that hasn’t seen the light of day in a long while for the sentiment and used my dies to cut two pieces of luggage that I adhered to a white card front.

I die cut the card front and a piece of pattern paper and arranged them according to the sketch.  Finally, I added the sentiment which could be used for love or friendship.  This was a fun card to make but it was because these three challenges worked beautifully together.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  We are celebrating love this time with a theme challenge!

I stuck with my clean and simple style and die cut three stitched triangles in coordinating paper.  Then I stamped and die cut a boxwood heart.  The stamps are from The Greetery Mini Boxwood Heart from January 2021.

I stamped the sentiment from Clearly Besotted Message Me (2016) on a piece of scrap, cut the ends and weaved into the heart.  I popped both the heart and sentiment up and was done!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a theme challenge to celebrate pets.

I don’t have a pet but I am a dog lover so I stamped up this little cutie and colored him in.  I die cut a stitched circle in the card front and popped up over the image.

I stamped my sentiment, cause who doesn’t want hugs and kisses from your pet?, added a few dots and was done!

I struggled with this challenge and ended up making two cards and opted to go with this one.  Father’s day is right around the corner.

I stamped the father and son images and then colored.  I stamped the sentiment and popped it up.  This time of year makes me miss my dad the most and wish for the days that I could hold his hand.
