Retro Rubber Challenge #220 Tic Tac Toe..

Hey,

Welcome to another fun Retro Rubber challenge.

We have a tic-tac-toe board for you.

I was excited by this board and I chose - Snowman-Pattern Paper-Tag.

I am sad that Your Next Stamp is closing, I got my first ever Monster stamps from them and that sparked my obsession. I used one of my fave sets by them here 'Silly Monsters Chillout' I have had it since 2019.

This was such a fun and easy card to make. I love tags and I have a huge stash of them. This one is from Michaels and I love the glittery edges. My paper I found in my Christmas stash and worked perfectly here.

Which row will you choose? Pop over to Retro Rubber and get inspired by the things the DT have made.

Challenge ends December 1.

Retro Rubber Challenge #219 Get your sketch on...

Hey,

Welcome to another awesome Retro Rubber challenge, only 3 more left this year!

We have a sketch for you this time, you know I love sketches.

I went with a kind of one-layer card (I think to be one layer, you have to stamp onto the card blank?). I stamped 4 rows to fit the sketch. I love how it came out, it feels perfect for a guy or a teenage boy.

I used Tim Holtz Arrows & Dotted Inquisitive mini stamp set, which I have had since January 2022 and I used my fave Happy Birthday sentiment by MFT that just lives on my desk and I have had it since 2017. I stamped everything using Distress Oxides, I love the muted, kind of chalky feel they give.

Show us your interpretation of the sketch and pop over to Retro Rubber and get inspired by the things the DT have made.

Challenge ends November 17.

Retro Rubber Challenge #218 - Fall Picnics colour challenge..

Hey,

Welcome to another fun Retro Rubber challenge - can you believe it is almost November?!

This time we have a colour challenge for you.

I love Concord & 9th turnabout stamps and I have a lot of them, so I thought as we need to use at least x3 colours, it would be fun to dig one of my faves out. For this card I used the 'Lovely Blossoms' turnabout, that I have had since 2021.

I was aiming for x3 colours in my background, blue, green and yellow.. but guess who stamped the blue first and then the yellow.. so I got a kind of greeny tinge! No matter, I like it and I used yellow for my sentiment instead. The sentiment is also by Concord & 9th from their 'Big On You' set (also 2021) and I use this set a lot.

Super easy and fun card to make. I used my new Altenew Stampwheel for the background and I am in love!

How will you use the colours? Be sure to pop on over to Retro Rubber and get inspired by the things the DT have made.

Challenge ends November 3rd.

Retro Rubber Challenge #217 Anything Goes..

Hey,

I am back, after my birthday hiatus. My birthday was crazy fun and I'll write a post about it soon.

Welcome to another fun Retro Rubber challenge.

This time it is everyone's fave - Anything Goes.

I love these 'Mod Birds' stamps by MFT and it has been a while since I got them out for a play! I have had them since 2018 and I love bird stamps! these stamps are super easy and fun to use, you stamp the main outline and then pick a colour and stamp the detail parts.

I mixed and matched the sentiments for these simple cards, they are 2 stamps, one by Hero Arts 'Take Note' from 2017 and the other by Simon Says Stamp from a 2016 cardkit (I think..).

Can't wait to see your anything goes cards, don't forget to pop over to Retro Rubber and get inspired by the things the DT have made.

Challenge ends October 20th.

Retro Rubber Challenge #214 Let's Get Sketchy..

Hey,

Welcome to another fun Retro Rubber challenge.

If you are in the big bend area of Florida, like I am, please be safe and take care in the storm x

We have a sketch for you this time.

You know how much I love a sketch!

I decided to pull a couple of old faves from the archives for this card. The side panel is a Hero Arts background stamp 'Lines' that I have had since 2015! I used a scrap I found on my desk for the other part of the sketch LOL. The cute Monster is by Neat & Tangled 'Little Monster' and I have had it since 2018. I always love colouring the word, it always looks so fun. The rest of the sentiment came from a Avery Elle set 'Peek-a-boo Balloon' and that is from 2019. 

A great mix of older sets to create a fun card.

Now it's your turn! Show us your interpretation of the sketch and pop over to Retro Rubber and get inspired by the things the DT have made.

Challenge ends September 8.
