It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a theme challenge to use up our scrap stashes.

This is not the card I started out to make.  I came across the tulips while looking for something else.  But I liked the idea of using the tulips so here we are.  We are knee deep in snow and expecting up to another foot in the next couple of days.  I need some spring flowers!

I stamped the spring sentiment and then popped up the tulips after adding a bit of twine.  I meant to add some bling but forgot.  It happens.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  We have a recipe challenge to use distressed paper, blossoms, pearls, shades of pink and embossing folder.

I started by stamping my branch with pear pizzazz and the wisteria with pink pirouette and pretty in pink.  I added the sentiment and then ran thru my dainty diamonds embossing folder.  I cut the card front down with my deckled edges die.

I also ran a piece of pink pirouette thru the dainty diamond EF and deckled edges.  Then I did something that just about did me in – I crumpled the paper.  Oh man!  My organized pea brain just about couldn’t handle it!  LOL.  But it’s a great way to distress your paper!   I then adhered everything to a card base of pretty in pink, added some pearls and was done!

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

I started with some old olive cardstock, cork and pattern paper.  I ran the old olive through my SU! bark embossing folder and the card base on my trusty linen impression plate.

I cut the green down and then made a couple of strips out of the cork and pattern paper.  I adhered them all to the card base and popped on a mini sentiment.  The sentiment is from my Simon Says Stamp Sketchy Banner Greetings from 2013.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a fill in the blank!  My favorite thing about spring is: all of the spring flowers.  Tulips, daffodils, irises.  I love to see them pop up in the spring after the cold winter.

I stamped the tulip images and then colored using my stampin’ blends.  I die cut them and added a bit of linen thread.

I die cut the card base using the split card textures die and then adhered the tulips.  I added the sentiment and was done.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a color challenge to use at least three of these five colors – white, cream, pink, green and silver.

I started by stamping the windowpane plaid in soft sea foam on some rustic cream cardstock.  The stamp is from The Greetery in 2019.  I die cut some panels using my shiplap dies which I adhered to a card base of rustic white.

I die cut the heart in pretty in pink and popped up over some silver string.  I added the sentiment from Papertrey Ink's Keep It Simple Valentine stamp set from 2014.  I finished off with some bling.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a color challenge to use polished pink, sweet sorbet, Tahitian tide and night of navy on your card.

I love a good collage card and these colors are perfect for making that happen.  I stamped the floral image in night of navy and then added the background in the rest of the required colors.

I used my deckled edges to die cut the card front and a piece of night of navy to back that.  It makes a great pop of color and helps draw your eye to the images.  I added some sweet sorbet dots and was done.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s an inspiration challenge to use winter related stamps and/or papers on your card.

I went super clean and did a wintery scene from my Papertrey Ink Winter Hills stamp set from 2012.  I did a tone on tone with soft greys.

I popped up on the base and added the sentiment.  A CAS card to start the year!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to use Christmas baubles on your card.

I started by stamping and die cutting an ornament.  I die cut a piece of parakeet party and white to showcase the ornament.

I added some sweet sorbet twine for a pop of color and layered everything up.  I was planning to add some bling but ran out of time as I was putting the last layer on the card.  Thus – I ended up with 0 seconds left!
