It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s an inspiration challenge to let the image inspire your card.

I started by running some white cardstock through my merry melody impression folder and then die cutting into a stitched rectangle.  I also die cut two boughs, intertwined them and adhered to the card front.

I die cut silver bells, popped up on the boughs and then added the sentiment.  The sentiment is from Lil Inkers No Peeking from at least 10 years ago because I have had it that long!  I die cut around the sentiment and added some twine.  I finished off with some red rhinestones.

This is most likely my last post for 2023.  So thank you all for stopping by and visiting.  I wish you Happy Holidays and Happy Crafting!  See you in 2024!

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a tic tac toe and I opted for frame, snowman and trees.

I started by die cutting a window frame on the front of the card.  Then I opted to do something a bit different for me by creating the scene on the inside of the card.

I stamped the fence and swag before adding and popping up the die cut tree and snowman.  These images are from my Papertrey Ink Fence Line Winter stamp set from 2018.

I added the sentiment (PTI Cozy Christmas 2016) and was done.  I like that the surprise is on the inside of the card!

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

I opted to turn this sketch into a three layered tree.  I die cut the layers out of different pattern papers and an embossed piece. 

I adhered to the card front, added the greeting and die cut with the deckled edges.  My sentiment came from Papertrey Ink Winter Village from 2016.  Quick, clean and simple – my favorite type of card!

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

I started by stamping the image using my Close To My Heart Fabulous You stamps that I have had for well over 10 years.  I colored with brown, yellow, blue and green before die cutting with my deckled edge circles.

I popped up the image, stamped the sentiment sideways and added some pops of color with dots.

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

I am definitely feeling the fall vibes.  I broke out a stamp set that I have owned since it came out in 2021 but never used – Stampin’ Up Gorgeous Leaves.  The leaves really are gorgeous so I stamped them on a crumbcake background that I stamped off once before applying to the card front.

I added the sentiment from Papertrey Ink Keep It Simple Blessed (2017) at an angle and then die cut, added some dots and twine and adhered to the card base.  Easy fall fun!

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a tic tac toe and I opted for masculine, leaves and die cut.

I leaned in heavy on using pattern papers for this challenge.  I have been sick with migraines and then I caught the crud and my energy levels are low.  So I am super clean and simple on this card.

I die cut papers that coordinated and had leaves on them.  I popped them up over some linen thread and then added the sentiment.  This card works perfectly for my brother’s upcoming birthday.

The sentiment is from my Art Impressions Dance It Out stamp set from 2020.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s an inspiration challenge to make a card using fall related stamps and/or papers.

I started out by stenciling a large maple leaf in crushed curry and die cut using my deckled rectangles.  Then I die cut a smaller maple leaf that I had embossed with some wood grain and two tiny leaves.

I stamped the sentiment from Papertrey Ink’s Autumn Hills set from 2012 on a die cut ship lap.  Then I layered everything together, added some speckled dots and was done!

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a theme challenge to make a card with rainbows or use rainbow colors!

I started by stamping this sweet image from My Favorite Things Pure Innocence Freckles.  I have had this stamp for over 5 years – probably longer.

I used my alcohol markers to color her in using the colors of the rainbow.  I added a little gray under her feet to ground her and a little chalky blue around her (which did not photo well).  A sentiment popped up and I was done.

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

I originally made this card for challenge 209 which was the summer theme challenge but ended up doing a different card for that one instead.  So this just slid right into the anything goes challenge.

I stamped and die cut my Ferris wheel and a couple of tickets.  I used my Lawn Fawn Admit One stamp set from 2014.

I used alcohol markers to color in the Ferris wheel with some bright colors.  I popped it on my card with the tickets and was done!

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a tic tac toe and I opted for emboss, die cut and beach.

I started by stamping a post in crumbcake and then heat embossing the lines onto the post.  I added some sand and grasses to build the beach scene.  These are from Papertrey Ink’s fence line summer stamps from 2018.

I stamped a bucket, die cut, popped it up and added the sentiment (from PTI’s floating by circa 2022).  A beachy one-layer card – easy peasy!
