It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s tic tac toe!  I chose pattern paper, dry embossing and die cut.

I started by running all of my paper through the linen impression plate.  Then I stamped the tulips and die cut them.  The images are from my Papertrey Ink Tulip Time stamp set from 2016.

I die cut the pear pizzazz and then ran it through the gridlines impression plate for my dry embossing.  I die cut it and the pattern paper with my mini stitched scallop rectangles.  I layered everything on my card base and added the sentiment which is from my Papertrey Ink Spring Hills stamp set from 2013 and punched out with my washi tape punch.  The dots added the final bit and I was done.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a tic tac toe challenge!  I opted for pattern paper/die cut/4X4.

I cut down my pale papaya cardstock to 4 inches by 4 inches and ran through the linen impression plate.  I also die cut a white card front so that I can use as my background.  I die cut some pattern paper and adhered to the card front.

I stamped, colored and die cut the flowers and popped up on the card front after I had wrapped some twine and added the sentiment.  The sentiment is my retro stamp which is from Clearly Besotted 2015.

I am playing along today with The Paper Players.  They had a tic tac toe challenge that I decided I couldn’t resist!

I chose the top row of rainbow, sparkle and die cut.  I decided to pull out some old dsp that seemed cheery and would give me bright colors to make a rainbow.

I die cut the rainbow out of real red, daffodil delight and lemon lime twist.  I used crumbcake and the dsp to make the umbrella and then used a bit of real red to go with the horizontal stripe of dsp.

I die cut some clouds and then put everything together and added the “raindrops” made of rhinestones for the sparkle.  I debated about the sentiment and thought I would go with a thinking of you.  We all need a little brightness to chase away the rain and clouds and see the rainbows!

A huge thank you to The Paper Players for being chosen as A Cut Above for THIS card and to The Card Concept for being chosen as Honorable Mention for the same card.  I was so surprised and honored!

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s time for a Tic Tac Toe so I opted for greens, trees/foliage, and die cut/punch.

I broke out my Papertrey Ink Topiary Trio stamp set from 2014 along with its die set.  One thing I like about using my old stamps is that I am sometimes shocked how long I have had them!

I die cut the tree and added some ink to age it a bit.  I die cut a piece of white cardstock, stamped the sentiment and adhered the topiary.

I centered on the base and was done.  The die on this one is interesting in the fact that you can push up the little cuts to make it look more “alive”.  I don’t know that my attempts can be seen that well in my photo but it looks pretty cool in real life.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a Tic Tac Toe challenge.  I opted for something mechanical, wood and twine or cord.

I started by stamping the tractor from my Stampin’ Up! Harvest Blessings stamp set from 2012.  I ran my card base through my woodgrain embossing folder and then cut some pattern paper.

I backed the pattern paper and tractor with old olive, added some thick twine and then layered it up on the card base.  The sentiment is from my often used Clearly Besotted Message Me from 2016.

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  A fun tic tac toe.  I opted for the pinks or reds/heat embossing/romantic occasion.

I started by heat embossing the image in black and then coloring using my alcohol markers in rococo rose and old olive.  The image is from The Greetery Sketchbook Roses from 2019.

I die cut the image and then popped up on the card base.  I finished by adding the sentiment.  Although this doesn’t have a specific romantic occasion, I quite like the idea of a surprise romantic card.

Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a Tic Tac Toe and I opted for one word, die cut and pattern paper.

I started by die cutting a piece of white card stock and adhered to some pattern paper.  Then I die cut with my stitched rectangle die and adhered to the lemon lime twist card base.

I stamped the sentiment (from the PTI uncorked stamp set from 2014) and added a die cut bottle to finish it off.  A perfect card for an upcoming celebration of any sort!

It’s a new challenge at Retro Rubber.  A fun tic tac toe.  I opted to use blue/rectangles/pattern paper.

I started by digging out some dark blue pattern paper and die cut a rectangle.  Then using my SU! envelope dies, I die cut a pattern out of white and adhered over the pattern paper.

I added an additional strip of pattern paper behind the rectangle, added some bling and the sentiment from Clearly Besotted Message Me (2016).

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.
