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

I started with this sweet image since the pup already had a balloon.  It’s from my Stampin’ Up Bella and Friends stamp set from 2016.  I colored in using my alcohol markers.

I added the sentiment from SU! Happiness Abounds (2022), added some chalk around the images and die cut with my deckled rectangles.  I popped that up on the card base and was done!

I started by stamping, then clear embossing the flower image from my 2024 SU! Layers of Beauty stamps.  I used my stencils and inks to color in and then die cut the image.

I adhered to the card front and trimmed off the overhang.  I added the sentiment and sequins and was done!

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a theme challenge to make a card using spring flowers.

I opted to go with one of my top favorite spring flowers – daffodils!  They just make me happy!  I stamped the daffy image using my Clearly Besotted miniature florals from 2015.  I colored in using, what else, daffodil delight and granny apple green blends.

I stamped the starburst image (2015) in daffodil delight and then fussy cut the image and popped up.  I added the sentiment from 2015 and was done!

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

I started by cutting a couple of rectangles of pattern paper for the background.  I stamped the flower image (less than a year old) and clear embossed it.  I colored with my alcohol markers.  I die cut the image to layer on my pattern paper.

I stamped the sentiment from Lil Inkers.  I don’t know the name or age but have had this set for many years (I would bet 7 or 8 years).  I cut it and then ran it over my lemon lolly ink pad before adding to the die cut.  Finally, I added some twine and the sequins.

Even though spring has finally arrived, I made a wintery birthday card.  I stamped and embossed this image from My Favorite Things Pure Innocence and then colored with my alcohol markers. 

I stamped and embossed the sentiment and die cut, choosing to wrap twine thru the cut outs.  I popped it on the card, die cut the card front and was done!  Both stamps I have had for more than 5 years.

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 challenge at As You See It!  It’s a theme challenge to make a vintage or shabby chic card.  I am a CAS girl but I think I managed just fine on this one!

I started with a piece of country woods dsp that I stamped the floral image on.  Then, using masks, I inked up the image with my blending brushes.  I roughed up the edges before adhering to my layers of lost lagoon, wild wheat and pecan pie.

To help with the vintage feel, I stamped (lightly) some splatter and script in wild wheat around the edges and on the image a bit.  I stamped the sentiment and die cut, adding a bit of twine on the end of the sentiment and some below it.  I popped it up, added a dot and was done!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a theme challenge to make a wedding card.

My sweet niece is getting married – thus my inspiration for the challenge!  I wanted to use her colors to make this card for her and my soon to be sweet nephew.  I started by die cutting the bride (in white and white linen) and groom (in misty moonlight) and gluing all the pieces together.

I die cut the oval in this lovely green to showcase the bride and groom.  I popped it up over some ribbon and then added the sentiment – which I really had to dig to find.  I think I need some more wedding sentiments!  Happy wedding day!

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.
