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

I started by stamping my lighthouse and then die cutting.  I went rectangle instead of circle, but that’s the great thing about this sketch – you can change up the shape!

I decided to get creative with the way I stamped the sentiment and I love how it turned out.  As you can see, I split the sentiment and used the word light to keep to the sketch requirements.  Once I had all the parts of the sentiment done – I added that bit of twine to keep with the oceany feel.  I popped the whole thing up on a piece of real red, adhered that to the white card base and was done.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a color challenge to use white, blue, brown and black.

I opted for a clean and simple masculine birthday card.  I die cut a piece of boho blue and crumbcake with my shiplap die.

I stamped the image from my SU! Artistically Asian stamp set (from around 2016) onto white, then adhered my shiplap pieces and stamped the image again.  I finished the card with the birthday sentiment from Clearly Besotted Message Me (2016).

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to use spring flowers!

I dug out this spring flowers stamp set that I have had for a long time and never used.  I thought I could finally beat this challenge and make a card in about 6 minutes (I know we have 10 minutes but I always seem to need the whole 10 minutes).  I did not think this through.  LOL.

The image stamping (and linen plate) took about 3 minutes – I took a quick peek at the timer and thought I can do this – just the coloring left!  Umm…no I couldn’t.  I spent the next 6 minutes and 53 seconds coloring.  Maybe next time!  Time left:  7 seconds.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a theme challenge to make a card with spring flowers.

I dug out my Papertrey Ink Flower Favorites from 2015 and inked up the iris image.  I used some distress inks so that I could spritz them with water to make a watercolor image.  I didn’t set out to have the splatter background – but one iris image with too much pressure and ink went flying.

I added the sentiment and then used my deckled edges to cut the card front and the gorgeous grape background.  I added some linen thread and then adhered to my pear pizzazz base.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a theme challenge to celebrate Easter.

I don’t have a lot of Easter stamps but…I bought this cute bunny wreath a while back and voila…Easter!  This is a stamp and stencil set so first up was stenciling the bunnies, the flowers and the carrots. 

The stamp portion is all of the greenery and sentiment.  I die cut the wreath and popped it up on some rustic white with the sentiment in the middle.  I added some sparkle and was done!

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a tic tac toe and I opted for pattern paper, embossing, and gems or sequins.

I started by stamping the flower image (with it’s cute little happy face!) and sentiment then die cutting with my stitched fishtail flags dies.  I also die cut the pattern paper with the fishtail flags.  The flower image came from my Simon Says Stamps floral bookmarking stamp set from 2014.  The sentiment is not over a year old and is from Simon Says Stamps Beautiful Friend.

I embossed the card front with a grid pattern and then die cut with a stitched rectangle.  I layered everything up and added some gems, a piece of linen thread and was done!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  We have a recipe challenge to use an embossing folder, plaid, ribbon/twine, die cut and rhinestones/gems.

I started by stamping the thermos image from SU! warmest heart and then die cutting.  I ran my card base through my linen impression plate and then a piece of the Tahitian tide through the absolutely argyle embossing folder.

I die cut a piece of white cardstock, ran thru the linen plate, added the plaid dsp before adding the ribbon, thermos, sentiment and pearl.  I layered everything together and was done!

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

I went clean and simple with a love card.  I stamped and die cut a pink boxwood heart and then stamped the love over the image as well as the card base.

I popped the heart up to add a bit of interest and finished off with some heart dots.  The stamps were all from The Greetery – Mini Boxwood Heart and Love is (2021).

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a fill in the blank!  My latest craft purchase is the enduring beauty stamp/stencils/dies set from Stampin’ Up!

I used the stencils to create a soft floral image and then die cut.  This stencil set is amazing and is going to get some use from me.

I die cut a piece of vellum to serve as my back drop and then added the floral image.  I stamped the sentiment and die cut along with some green leaves.  I layered everything together, added some pearls and twine and was done.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a color challenge to use to use midnight blue, violet blue, sky blue and white.

I really struggled with this challenge because I just couldn’t come up with something that I really liked.  In the end, I played around with some collage stamping which is a go to for me. 

I used the required colors with my Stampin’ Up! French Foliage (2011) and Artfully Layered (2022) and my Clearly Besotted Message Me (2016).  I die cut using a postage die cut, popped it up and was done!
