It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  We have a recipe challenge to make a card with trees, embossing folder, twine, shades of green and birthday.

I dug out my old SU! lovely as a tree stamp set and inked up the trees in granny apple green, old olive and garden green.  I added my birthday sentiment before adding my twine.  

Then I die cut with a stitched rectangle before adhering to a piece of granny apple green that I ran thru my woodgrain embossing folder.  I attached to the garden green base and was done!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a fill in the blank!  My favorite beach activity is collecting shells!

I live in a landlocked state so I rarely visit the beach.  We have lakes of course, but I am not much of a water person no matter if it is the ocean or a lake.  But!  When I do visit the ocean, I love to collect sea shells. 

I started by stamping some sand, shells and a bucket.  I die cut the shells and bucket then popped up on my card.  I added a summery sentiment and was done!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a color challenge to use daffodil delight, blueberry bushel, granny apple green and white.

I opted for my standard CAS style with a simple but I think effective card.  I die cut some paisley pieces out of daffodil delight, blueberry bushel and granny apple green.

I stamped the sentiment and then arranged the pieces around it.  I added a few blue rhinestones and was done!'

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!  It’s a speed challenge to make a thank you card!

I have a love/hate relationship with speed challenges.  I love them when I know exactly what I am going to make and I can get it done in the required time…and I hate them when I know what I am going to make and it takes more than 10 minutes…lol!  I had to make this card twice so I was an expert the second time around.

I stamped the image from the long ago retired SU! always thankful stamp set.  I love this stamp set because of this one image.  I stamped it in wild wheat and ran the card thru my linen impression plate.  I stamped the sentiment and went to check the time…and cleared the timer!!  Argh!  So I started over!

So I repeated the above paragraph, sans clearing the time, snipped the sentiment edges and popped up on the card.  I was so proud of myself – I was about 5 minutes in when I decided to add some bling – which cost me a minute and a half trying to unstick the dots and get them on the card!  But at 6 minutes and 30 seconds, my card was done!

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a fun sketch to try!

I die cut two stitched triangles out of coordinating paper and then layered according to the sketch.

I stamped the sentiment (Simon Says Stamp Sketchy Banner Greetings from 2013), snipped the edges on an angle and then popped up over the triangles.  I added a bit of bling and was done!  CAS to the max!

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

My sweet niece is getting married – thus my inspiration for the challenge!  I wanted to use her colors to make this card for her and my soon to be sweet nephew.  I started by die cutting the bride (in white and white linen) and groom (in misty moonlight) and gluing all the pieces together.

I die cut the oval in this lovely green to showcase the bride and groom.  I popped it up over some ribbon and then added the sentiment – which I really had to dig to find.  I think I need some more wedding sentiments!  Happy wedding day!

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 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.
