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.

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 challenge at As You See It!  It’s a theme challenge to celebrate Easter.

I don’t have a lot of Easter stamps but…I bought this cute bunny wreath a while back and voila…Easter!  This is a stamp and stencil set so first up was stenciling the bunnies, the flowers and the carrots. 

The stamp portion is all of the greenery and sentiment.  I die cut the wreath and popped it up on some rustic white with the sentiment in the middle.  I added some sparkle and was done!

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!

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a theme challenge to make a card using winter related stamps and/or papers.

I started out by stamping and die cutting the bench, pillows, blanket, book and cup.  I used my Papertrey Ink Winter Bench stamp set from 2022.  I opted for some bright colors cause we all need a little bright in the winter!

I stamped the sentiment (Papertrey Ink Winter Hills (2012) and then adhered all the bits and pieces to the card front.  I couldn’t resist adding the sweet heart button as a last minute touch.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a tic tac toe and I opted for frame, snowman and trees.

I started by die cutting a window frame on the front of the card.  Then I opted to do something a bit different for me by creating the scene on the inside of the card.

I stamped the fence and swag before adding and popping up the die cut tree and snowman.  These images are from my Papertrey Ink Fence Line Winter stamp set from 2018.

I added the sentiment (PTI Cozy Christmas 2016) and was done.  I like that the surprise is on the inside of the card!

Supplies:  CS:  PTI white.  Stamps:  PTI fence line winter (2018) and cozy Christmas (2016).  Dies:  PTI linen plate and fence line winter.  MFT peek a boo wonky windows.  Inks:  SU! cherry cobbler, early espresso, crumbcake, pumpkin pie, old olive and pear pizzazz.

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

I started by die cutting the grid design in white.  I cut a piece of cherry cobbler to go behind the white.  But before I adhered them together, I ran the cherry cobbler through my sheet music impression plate.  It’s hard to see but you can just see the faint outlines of notes and staff. 

I then stamped the small stable and star.  I added the sentiment and some rhinestones to finish off the card.  Once it was done, I spent considerable time rethinking my color combinations but in the end, I decided to keep them.  To be honest, if I was to redo the card, I would have probably swapped out the stable color to cherry cobbler.  Hmmm…I guess I may not be as satisfied as I thought?  LOL!  Don’t you hate it when you start to second guess yourself?
