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

This was such a great sketch!  So much so that I broke out my brand new SU! sea turtle stamp set.  Team member Jan Clothier is a champ at this set and after all of her beautiful cards – I had to have it!  (I just hope I did it justice!)

I started by running some white card stock thru my dotted circles embossing folder and my linen plate.  Then I die cut using my stitched rectangles.  I should have done this in reverse order because it flattened all my circles.  Lol.  Then I added some dsp and the twine.

I stamped the water and turtle, die cutting using the stitched rectangle and fussy cutting the turtle.  I added the sentiment and then put everything together according to the sketch.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a fill in the blank!  My favorite beach activity is collecting shells!

I live in a landlocked state so I rarely visit the beach.  We have lakes of course, but I am not much of a water person no matter if it is the ocean or a lake.  But!  When I do visit the ocean, I love to collect sea shells. 

I started by stamping some sand, shells and a bucket.  I die cut the shells and bucket then popped up on my card.  I added a summery sentiment and was done!

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.

I dug out my brand new Stampin’ Up! So Refreshing stamp set to make this card.  I stamped the images and then die cut them.  I wanted to use summery colors – yellows for the summer sunshine and purple for summer flowers.

I started with a light lemon lolly gingham background to set the scene.  Then I added a sprig of flowers and the cloth while layering everything else up.  What is your favorite thing about summer?  I look forward to seeing what you create!

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!

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

I started by stamping some lemons using my The Greetery Lemon Blossom stamp set from 2019.  The rest of the design team all went with a fruit theme so I had to follow along.  There is nothing better than a glass of cold lemonade on a hot summer day (unless it’s an ice cold beer!)!

I die cut the images and a cutout in the white card front.  I used parakeet party as my base and then added the sentiment and the die cuts.  A few dots finish the card!

I focused on the delicious looking purple ice cream firmly believing it has to be huckleberry ice cream.  That stuff is good!

I stamped the popsicle image from Reverse Confetti’s Let’s Chill stamp set from 2015.  I colored with my purple blends – making some wavy lines and stripes.  I added the sentiment and was done.

It’s a new challenge at Retro Rubber and we are all about the summer!

As I was getting ready to make my card, I noticed a couple of my teamies used flip flops and had the same sentiment so I made it a trio because I couldn’t resist!

I started by chalking a sun on the card base.  Then I die cut the flip flops and sunglasses out of fun colored paper and adhered to the card.

Finally I added the sentiment (from my PTI flipping out stamp set from 2012) and was done.

I went with my usual super clean and simple.  I stamped a sun from the SU! Over the Rainbow set (2015) and added some sweet sunglasses (SSS Flip Flop Season – 2015) to it. 

I stamped a fun sentiment, ran the card thru my linen impression plate and added a few rhinestones.

Then I die cut two sets of glasses and used some silver card stock for the glass.  I adhered them to the card, added my sentiment and was done.
