It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  We are celebrating love this time with a theme challenge!

I stuck with my clean and simple style and die cut three stitched triangles in coordinating paper.  Then I stamped and die cut a boxwood heart.  The stamps are from The Greetery Mini Boxwood Heart from January 2021.

I stamped the sentiment from Clearly Besotted Message Me (2016) on a piece of scrap, cut the ends and weaved into the heart.  I popped both the heart and sentiment up and was done!

Welcome to a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s a color challenge to use red, pink and white on a card.

I started by die cutting my heart die out of cherry cobbler twice and then layered them together for a bit of depth.  I punched some hearts out of pink pirouette to layer on the die cut as well.

I stamped the sentiment (from Clearly Besotted Message Me circa 2016) and die cut on a washi tape die.  I popped it up on the hearts and added a sweet little pink one on it before adding some rhinestones for sparkle.

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.

We have a new Retro Rubber Challenge for you!  It’s all about love and ribbons!  Make a love themed card with a ribbon or twine and you are in like Flynn!

I started with some random sizes of die cuts using pattern and solid paper.  Then I added the sentiment from my trusty Clearly Besotted Message Me stamp set from 2016.

Finally, I ran the card thru the linen impression plate and added some peppermint twine.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It.  Fill in this blank:  My first stamp or craft tool was:  a crimper!  Or the brayer – I think I bought them at the same time.

It was fun to bust out my crimper tool.  I ran a couple of pieces of cardstock thru the crimper before adding to my card base.  Are you familiar with a crimper?  It’s a tool that corrugates paper.  It’s really a cool way to get some texture on your card so one would think I would use it more!

For my image, I stamped the lovely little bouquet and then colored with my chalks.  I added the sentiment and linen thread after I added a bit of blue chalk around the image.  It’s hard to see the blue but in real life it gives a nice antiquey feel to the card.

Happy February!  It’s a new challenge at House of Cards.  Use the colors or create a valentine background or both.

I used a bit of both the colors and the background.  I started by using some versamark ink and a heart filled vine to stamp in the middle of the card.

Then I die cut and stamped the two beakers, adhered them, and then added the sentiment and some hearts and rhinestones.

It’s a new challenge at Retro Rubber!  Use the beautiful picture for your inspiration and create a card.

I opted to use the colors to inspire me.  I love the pink, gold and white combination.  So I started by die cutting this leaf pattern and backing it with gold paper.

I added the sentiment and a few hearts before adhering to the card base.  My sentiment stamp is from the 2016 Clearly Besotted Message Me stamp set.

It’s the second week of the Retro Rubber Challenge! It’s all about hearts! (on a card!)

I started by using a dotted chevron die and cut three lines. I backed the white card front with cherry cobbler.

I stamped the sentiment and then added a few small hearts and rhinestones.

I am also entering this card in the Paper Players challenge.

Today’s fun card is for the Sunday Stamps color challenge. The colors are dark and light brown, grey and dark red.  Perfect for making a masculine Valentine’s Day card.

I have had this chunky chevron die and thought it would be perfect to showcase these colors. I wanted some pops of color against a white background. So I die cut the cover plate in white and adhered it to a white card base.

Then I die cut the chevrons out of SU! sahara sand, chocolate chip, and cherry cobbler and added two of each color to the white frame. I stamped the sentiment in grey (but it looks black) and added a couple of enamel dots and rhinestones.

Welcome to a new As You See It challenge! We have another fun sketch for you and as you can see I switched it up just a bit!

I die cut all these hearts using my PTI hearts cover plate. I also used the plate to help me place the hearts in such a perfect pattern.

I black heat embossed the sentiment and added the button and silver cording.
