It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to use pumpkins or gourds on your card.

I started by stamping my pumpkin images (in green!) before adding the sentiment.

I added a piece of dsp and garden green trim to the vanilla card front and then die cut using a stitched rectangle.

I adhered to the card base and was planning to add some bling until I checked the time.  I had about 5 seconds left so I didn’t bother!  Time was 9 minutes and 55 seconds.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a color challenge to use balmy blue, pacific point and night of navy.

I started by stenciling a harlequin background out of crumbcake on a piece of vanilla cardstock that I then die cut.  I stamped the sentiment in night of navy and the flower out of balmy blue and pacific point.

I backed the flower with some pacific point pattern paper and then layered up on balmy blue and the night of navy card base.  A little dab of twine and I was done!

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s Anything Goes!

I started with my Stampin’ Up! French Foliage stamp set from way back around 2011.  I stamped some images in random colors.  My sentiment is from my Papertrey Ink Scripted stamp set from 2016.

I die cut the image and then popped up over some crushed curry twine and was done.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s time for an inspiration challenge so here is my take.

I was inspired to use the colors and make a mini bouquet.  I used my stamps from Papertrey Ink Bitty Bouquet from 2015.

I die cut a lattice out of grayish polka dot paper for the background (using the tabletop in the picture for that inspiration).  I used rustic white for my card base and for the little square I popped my flowers up on.  A small sentiment, thread and some bling and I was done.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It is a recipe challenge to use wheat/grass, embossing folder, twine, gingham and crumbcake.

This was hard for me!  I stopped and started several different versions of cards until I landed on this.  I started by die cutting wheat in rustic cream and crumbcake.

I ran the rustic cream cardstock through my woodgrain embossing folder.  I cut a curved edge and added some gingham pattern paper with a curved edge as well.  I stamped and die cut the sentiment and then layered everything on the card.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to use blossoms.

I stamped the flower image and then colored using my alcohol markers.  Then I die cut the card front and a piece of pattern paper with my stitched rectangle dies.

I ran the card front and base thru my linen plate and adhered everything together.  Time left was 0.00.  Yep.  I ran out of time as I was putting the card together.  I planned for some dots and rhinestones but it was too late!

It’s a new year and a new challenge at As You See It!  Not only did the year start over, but we refreshed our website with a cool new banner and challenge images!  The challenge today is a speed challenge (i.e. 10 minutes) to use your scraps.

Well, I have lots of scraps and they are organized with my cardstock so I just had to decide on colors and what kind of card I was going to make.  I opted for a thank you card that is going to my lovely aunt.  She recently wrote a memoir and gifted a copy to me.  I was happy I made the short list of her favorites and even happier to read the book!  I learned so much about her life!  She is a vibrant lovely person whom I adore!  Love you Aunt MaryAnn!

I stamped my sentiment and then added some scraps of blue around it.  I die cut the sentiment and then layered on some stripey pops of color.  Easy peasy!  I hope auntie loves my card as much as I love her book!

Time left:  surprisingly 2 seconds.  Honestly, it seemed like it took less time than that!

I started by adding a strip of plaid paper to a white card front and then die cutting.  I adhered that to my cinnamon cider card base.

I die cut leaves and wheat from a variety of colors then attached as per the sketch.  Finally, I added a two part sentiment with some dots and rhinestones.

Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  This time is a color challenge to use yellow and green.

I started with my hibiscus stamp from PTI’s Some Like It Hot stamp set from 2016.  I did some second generation stamping with the crushed curry and pear pizzazz.

I added the sentiment from Verve.  It was a thank you stamp from them for an order from many years ago.  I die cut a horizontal strip and then popped up on my card base.
