Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a fun tic tac toe so let’s get to it!

I chose to go with ribbon, emboss, birthday.  I started by stamping some balloons in soft colors.  Then I added the sentiment and some balloon strings.  The stamps came from two different sets of stamps (SSS big birthday wishes – 2015 and Paper Smooches sentiment sampler) that I have had for more than five or six years. 

Then I embossed the white card stock (with my linen plate) and added an embossed strip of X's under the sentiment before adding my pool party ribbon.

Welcome to a new challenge at As You See It!  We have a lovely sketch this time around.

I started by embossing polka dots on by card base.  Then I die cut panels in patterned paper and vanilla.

I stamped the sentiment, added the ribbon and layered up according to the sketch.

It’s a new Retro Rubber challenge and it’s all about flowers!

I started by stamping the sweetbriar rose image from Stampin’ Up! (from 2015) in black.  Then I stamped images from the SU! French Foliage stamp set (2012) in pinks and greens.

I ran thru the linen plate and die cut with my cross stitch rectangles.  Finally I added a sentiment, a strip of ribbon and pearls.

It’s a new As You See It Challenge!  It’s a speed challenge with the theme of flowers!

I started by using a multiple stamp set of wildflowers from Rubbernecker.  I stamped the several layers in appropriate colors and then ran the card thru my linen impression plate.

I just had to use this lovely sentiment.  I have had it for several years and never used it.  Shame on me!  I die cut around it and then popped it up on the card base.

Time left:  0.00.  Let me tell you - doing the multiple stamping took up more time than I thought!  I was just pressing the sentiment on the base when the alarm rang!

I started with a card base of night of navy.  Then I die cut 3 strips from vellum and adhered to the card base.

I stamped the sentiment from my Simon Says Stamp I See You stamp set from 2015 and then embossed with white to make it pop.

I die cut the leaf to go with my botanical themed vellum, adhered and was done!

It’s a new As You See It Challenge!  It’s rainbow theme week!

I started by stamping different circles in the rainbow colors on the card front.

Then I added the sentiment (which is not where I wanted it but I smudged some red ink on the paper and needed to cover it up – you can’t see it can you!).

I added a bit of bling and die cut the image before adhered to the crumbcake card base.

Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  For this challenge we are all about squares!

I started by cutting three 3X3 cards out of cream cardstock and using just a simple small image on them.  These came from my Stampin’ Up! Postage Collection stamp set from around 2013.

Then I added some lines to make a square on the card and added a different sentiment on each card as well.  These are from my 2016 Clearly Besotted Message Me stamp set.

It’s time for a new As You See It challenge!  It’s a fun recipe card challenge.

I started by die cutting a diagonal tag.  I ran it plus the card base thru the linen plate for some texture.

Then I die cut some leaves and a flower out of pattern paper as well as one out of solid cardstock.  I adhered the tag to the base after adding some thick twine.

Finally I added the sentiment and bling.
