It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to make a card with trees in 10 minutes or under!

I started by stamping and die cutting a couple of scrub brush trees.  Then it was off to the races.  I quickly die cut the card front with my deckle edge rectangles and added two pieces of dsp and adhered to the card base.

I popped up the trees, whipped up the sentiment and with shaky hands was pressing it on the card when the timer went off!  My monochromatic trees card was done with no time left over!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a color challenge to use azure afternoon, granny apple green and shaded spruce.

I started by stamping leaves from SU! gorgeous leaves in the required colors and adding splatter as well to make my background.  Then I added some strips of shaded spruce and granny apple green dsp to the base and die cut.

I die cut a couple of leaves out of azure afternoon and granny apple green and popped those up with the sentiment.  I love how it turned out because these colors are really amazing together!

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

This was such a great sketch!  So much so that I broke out my brand new SU! sea turtle stamp set.  Team member Jan Clothier is a champ at this set and after all of her beautiful cards – I had to have it!  (I just hope I did it justice!)

I started by running some white card stock thru my dotted circles embossing folder and my linen plate.  Then I die cut using my stitched rectangles.  I should have done this in reverse order because it flattened all my circles.  Lol.  Then I added some dsp and the twine.

I stamped the water and turtle, die cutting using the stitched rectangle and fussy cutting the turtle.  I added the sentiment and then put everything together according to the sketch.

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 theme challenge to make a vintage or shabby chic card.  I am a CAS girl but I think I managed just fine on this one!

I started with a piece of country woods dsp that I stamped the floral image on.  Then, using masks, I inked up the image with my blending brushes.  I roughed up the edges before adhering to my layers of lost lagoon, wild wheat and pecan pie.

To help with the vintage feel, I stamped (lightly) some splatter and script in wild wheat around the edges and on the image a bit.  I stamped the sentiment and die cut, adding a bit of twine on the end of the sentiment and some below it.  I popped it up, added a dot and was done!

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!
