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.

Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a fun tic tac toe so let’s get to it!

I chose to go with ribbon, emboss, birthday.  I started by stamping some balloons in soft colors.  Then I added the sentiment and some balloon strings.  The stamps came from two different sets of stamps (SSS big birthday wishes – 2015 and Paper Smooches sentiment sampler) that I have had for more than five or six years. 

Then I embossed the white card stock (with my linen plate) and added an embossed strip of X's under the sentiment before adding my pool party ribbon.

I started by stamping the sweetbriar rose image from Stampin’ Up! (from 2015) in black.  Then I stamped images from the SU! French Foliage stamp set (2012) in pinks and greens.

I ran thru the linen plate and die cut with my cross stitch rectangles.  Finally I added a sentiment, a strip of ribbon and pearls.

I stamped the sentiment from my Simon Says Stamp I See You stamp set from 2015 and then embossed with white to make it pop.

It’s a new As You See It Challenge!  It’s rainbow theme week!

I started by stamping different circles in the rainbow colors on the card front.

Then I added the sentiment (which is not where I wanted it but I smudged some red ink on the paper and needed to cover it up – you can’t see it can you!).

I added a bit of bling and die cut the image before adhered to the crumbcake card base.

Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  For this challenge we are all about squares!

I started by cutting three 3X3 cards out of cream cardstock and using just a simple small image on them.  These came from my Stampin’ Up! Postage Collection stamp set from around 2013.

Then I added some lines to make a square on the card and added a different sentiment on each card as well.  These are from my 2016 Clearly Besotted Message Me stamp set.

Welcome to a new challenge at As You See It!  We have a love theme for this go around so I went pretty clean and simple (naturally!).

I started with a die cut heart out of white paper before adding an ombre of sweet sugarplum ink to it. 

I added the sentiment and then popped it up on a base of sweet sugarplum with a bit of white twine tied around it.

Finally, a sweet little heart and rhinestones finished off the card.

It’s a new challenge for a new year at Retro Rubber!  The challenge is to make a winter themed card.  I thought this would be easy until I couldn’t come up with anything!  Luckily, I had a meeting this past weekend where a friend showed off her collection of wreaths.  One of them was a snowflake wreath so I used that for my inspiration.

I started by drawing a circle and then stamping a variety of snowflake stamps around it.  I used colors that I used on this card that I made a few weeks ago.  These stamps were from my Simon Says Stamp Lots of Snowflakes stamps from 2014.

I added the sentiment from my Penny Black Yuletide Wishes stamp set from 2016 and decided to put the stamp a bit to the right.  I moved it around the circle, in and out of the circle and ultimately liked it where it ended up.

I added a few rhinestones and some twine before adhering to a card base of soft sky.

It’s a new challenge at Retro Rubber.  A fun tic tac toe challenge and I chose the third row of pattern paper, butterflies and twine.

I started with a die cut of pattern paper that I wrapped twine around. 

I adhered to the card base, stamped the sentiment and added the sweet punched butterfly.  The stamp is from the PTI keep it simple thanksgiving from 2014.
