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

I started by stamping and coloring this sweet snowman image.  Then I die cut and adhered him to some snowflake paper and popped that up on my card base.

I stamped the sentiment from Papertrey Ink’s Just Sentiments: Snow (2021) and die cut as well.  I added to the card, threw on some dots and was done!

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a holiday tic tac toe and I opted for ribbon/twine, tag and embellishments. 

I am back after an extended break.  Lots of things going on that prevented crafty time for me but I wanted to make sure I got in for the last challenge!

I started by embossing a piece of white cardstock that I adhered to the white base.  I die cut a tag and backed with candy cane paper and then added the ribbon/twine, candy canes and rhinestones.  The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted Message Me from 2016.  Merry Christmas to all!

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a theme challenge to make a card with camping or outdoor stamps and/or paper.

I made my card before I remembered the camping part of the challenge image.  So my jeep and surfboard are on their way to a beach camp out!

I stamped my jeep, board and sentiment and backed with a bit of blue chalk.  I used my Heidi Swapp stamp set from her Stamp Therapy class.  I have had the stamp set for over a year.  In the end, I kept to my CAS style with this one.

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

I started by stamping the shells, bucket and thongs from my Lawn Fawn Life is Good stamp set from 2014.  I colored with my alcohol markers and then die cut.

I die cut the chair from SU! summer splash, adhered to the card base and then filled in the beachy stuff around it.  A quick sentiment and the sequins completed the card.

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

I die cut two stitched triangles out of coordinating paper and then layered according to the sketch.

I stamped the sentiment (Simon Says Stamp Sketchy Banner Greetings from 2013), snipped the edges on an angle and then popped up over the triangles.  I added a bit of bling and was done!  CAS to the max!

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

I started out by embossing a piece of night of navy with my twisted rope embossing folder.  I die cut it down with a stitched die and then added a piece of twine before adhering to the kraft card base.

I stamped and die cut the anchor image and also the sentiment.  These are from my Papertrey Ink Seas of Life stamp set from 2021.  Clean and simple.

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

I started by stamping and die cutting the branch of spring berries.  It is from my Papertrey Ink Spring Beautiful Berries from 2017.  I also die cut a postage stamp from white to pop the berries on.

The layer behind the sketch is aluminum dryer tape.  I learned this trick a long time ago and yet I rarely use it.  It adds shine and its tape!  I ran the tape thru my linen plate for some texture and then attached to the flirty flamingo card base.  I added the sentiment (Clearly Besotted Message Me 2016) 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 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 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!
