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

I started by stamping and die cutting the honey jar for the centerpiece of my sketch.  I used black ink to splatter all of my cardstock and then I die cut the bumblebee paper with my deckled rectangle edges.

I used my honeycomb die cuts for the other parts of the sketch and then adhered to the card base.  I popped up the honey jar and the sentiment and was done!

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a theme challenge to make a birthday card!

I dug through my stash and stumbled across this old stamp set from Simon Says Stamp called Tag Sayings.  It is from 2013 and had some fun birthday themed stamps and tag dies.  Score!

I stamped the birthday sentiment and then die cut with the tag die.  I added some confetti type washi on the bottom of the tag and then cut two more out of poppy parade and pool party.

I added some twine to the tags and popped up on the soft stone card base.  Some little stamped balloons that I colored with alcohol inks finished off the card.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge with an outdoor theme.

I pulled out everything I needed and got started.  I stamped the image in crumbcake on my card base and then colored using alcohol inks.  I ran the card front and base through my linen plate.

I die cut with my deckled edges, adhered the ribbon to the back and then to the card base.  I added some dots and pearls and was done.  Surprisingly, I had 1 minute and 18 seconds left.

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

I started with my Simon Says Stamp Many Thanks stamp set from 2015.  I stamped the first rose stamp randomly using pale papaya ink and then used grapefruit grove for the second layer.  I added the two tone leaves in soft sea foam and pear pizzazz.

I stamped the sentiment and die cut with my deckled edges as well as die cutting the card front.  I added some ribbon, popped up the sentiment and adhered to the card base.  I finished it off with some dots and rhinestones.

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.
