It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to make a silly or funny card.

I would say I went with punny and maybe a bit silly.  I stamped this crazy frog image and colored with my alcohol markers.

I die cut the image, popped it up and added the sentiment.  I ran everything thru my linen plate and added a bit of seam binding to finish the card off.  I used 9 minutes and 30 seconds.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  We have a lovely sketch this time around.

I started by stamping and die cutting my coffee cup image from my Stampin’ Up! Merry Café stamp set from 2017.  I stamped the sentiment and then die cut to put on the coffee cup instead of below the image.

I die cut a curved edge and added some pattern paper to make the basic part of the sketch and then added the coffee cup.  I used some punched leaves and a bit of bling to take the place of the sentiment since I used that on the coffee holder.

I was quite pleased with the outcome but full truth – totally not a fan of pumpkin spice.  I love the color and pumpkins but it’s a firm no to the flavor.  So for all of you pumpkin spice lovers – this one’s for you!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a theme challenge and it is all up in the air.

I went for birds and created this sweet birthday card.  I stamped and die cut the branch and birds.  These are layering stamps and I really love how they turned out.

To make them pop a bit, I added a stitched triangle underneath to also serve as a focal point.  I added the sentiment and was done.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s time for an inspiration challenge so here is my take.

I was inspired to use the colors and make a mini bouquet.  I used my stamps from Papertrey Ink Bitty Bouquet from 2015.

I die cut a lattice out of grayish polka dot paper for the background (using the tabletop in the picture for that inspiration).  I used rustic white for my card base and for the little square I popped my flowers up on.  A small sentiment, thread and some bling and I was done.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It is a recipe challenge to use wheat/grass, embossing folder, twine, gingham and crumbcake.

This was hard for me!  I stopped and started several different versions of cards until I landed on this.  I started by die cutting wheat in rustic cream and crumbcake.

I ran the rustic cream cardstock through my woodgrain embossing folder.  I cut a curved edge and added some gingham pattern paper with a curved edge as well.  I stamped and die cut the sentiment and then layered everything on the card.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  The challenge is to choose a mode of transportation.

I opted for this sweet scooter image from the Stampin’ Up! On The Grow stamp set.  I have had this set for over 10 years.  Time flies!

I stamped the image and then colored with my alcohol markers.  I stamped the sentiment and popped it up and was done.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s fill in the blank and name your favorite animal.

I don’t know that I really have a favorite animal but I do love koalas so I stamped this sweet image and colored with my alcohol markers.

I die cut the image and then popped up over a funky looking stencil.  G’day!

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

I stamped these floral images in shades of purple and green from The Greetery stamp set Simple Things from 2019.

I added the sentiment and lightly chalked over it.  I die cut the image and then popped up on a kraft card base.  Some purple twine and the card was done.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a Tic Tac Toe challenge.  I opted for something mechanical, wood and twine or cord.

I started by stamping the tractor from my Stampin’ Up! Harvest Blessings stamp set from 2012.  I ran my card base through my woodgrain embossing folder and then cut some pattern paper.

I backed the pattern paper and tractor with old olive, added some thick twine and then layered it up on the card base.  The sentiment is from my often used Clearly Besotted Message Me from 2016.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  A sketch that had endless possibilities!

I die cut a piece of ombre patterned paper and adhered to the card base.

I stamped and die cut the lighthouse and then did the sentiment.  I like the pairing of colors between the ombre and the green stripes.  I added a few birds and was done.
