Retro Rubber Challenge 251...

It’s a new Retro Rubber Challenge!  It’s anything goes!

RRCB 251

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.

I went with my usual CAS and die cut some sweaters.  I used my distress inks and blending tools to create variegated sweaters.  I love these dies – they are from a Swedish stamp company called Gummiapan.

I popped them up on a base of cream cardstock and added the sentiment from My Favorite Things Warmest Wishes from sometime before 2017.

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.

Feeling Peaceful For AYSI...

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a sketch challenge!

#278 7.1.2022

I started with some images to create a bit of a monochromatic winter scene.  Trees, cabin and deer feel a bit wintery to me.  Or maybe I am already dreaming of winter?  Yikes!  What am I thinking!

I added the sentiment and die cut using my deckled edges rectangles, popped up on the card base and was done.

A Snowman In Winter...

I have not played along with any challenges in I don’t know how long but mojo struck so I thought I would give it a try!  I am playing along with the sketch from The Paper Players and the colors from The Card Concept.  It’s a clean and layered card and I am quite pleased with the results.

I started with stamping the fence in Sahara sand and soft suede directly on the card base.  I stamped the snowman in London fog and added the hat, arms, and face before die cutting it.

I stamped, cut and then added the bits of garland and a couple of birds to the fence before adding the snowdrift and snowman.  The sentiment is contrary to a snowman’s wishes – he would want cold blessings!

This card really came together for both challenges – the sketch showcases the colors and wintery inspiration for the card.

I stamped snowflakes, added the sentiment and adhered to the card base.  I decided last second to add a bit of bling for some sparkle and was done.  Plenty of time left on the clock for me!  I had one minute ten seconds left!

I don’t do a lot of layering on my cards but I went for it this week!  I die cut the geometric pattern in perfect plum and then added a vanilla cream stitched frame.  I used a stitched circle frame from wintery paper to add to all of the layers.

I stamped the winter berries image from Papertrey Ink Beautiful Berries – Winter from 2017 in distress inks in the purple and cream theme.  I die cut the image and popped it up on all of the frames.
