Retro Rubber Challenge #268 - Get your sketch on...

Hey,

Welcome to another awesome Retro Rubber challenge.

We have a sketch for you this time.

You know how much I love a sketch!

I went with mini slimline as I thought it worked well with the sketch. I used a Spellbinders embossing folder with kraft cardstock. The little floral papers are scraps from another project. The sentiment is by Hero Arts 'Mixed Sentiments' that I have had since 2013, and it is one of my faves.

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

Challenge ends April 3rd.

Retro Rubber Challenge #267 - Colour challenge...

Hey,

Welcome to another fabulous Retro Rubber challenge.

This time we have a sweet colour challenge for you..

These are my kind of colours. I loved the image, so I wanted to incorporate rain or rainbows somehow, but I just couldn't get it to work! So I went back to the drawing board, scoured my stamp library, and stumbled upon this gorgeous stamp that I honestly don't think I have ever used!

I used all the colours from the palette to colour my stamped image. I used Altenew markers. I created a fun little border using the colours. All the papers are from the Spellbinders sampler pack. I love their cardstock.

Stamp by Unity Stamp co 'More Than Ice Cream', which I have had since 2022.

Challenge ends March 20th.

Retro Rubber Challenge #266 - Luck o' the Irish!..

Hey,

Welcome to another awesome Retro Rubber challenge.

We have a fun theme for you this time..

I don't send St Patrick's Day cards, so my supplies for this theme are limited. But I have this awesome set by Lawn Fawn, and it sparked the idea for this card!

I found an already smooshed green panel in my desk crap pile and added the clover and star stamps from the Lawn Fawn set to it. I stamped, coloured and cut my Alligators from the Neat & Tangled set. Final step was to heat emboss the sentiment. I punched it using my fave label punch by Stampin' Up.

I love the end result, a super cute card for a friend and of course squeezing in a couple of 'gators made me very happy!

I used -

Lawn Fawn 'Lucky Charm' - 2015

Neat & Tangled 'Later Alligator' - 2019

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

Challenge ends March 6th.

Retro Rubber Challenge #265 - Tic-tac-toe...

Hey,

Welcome to another awesome Retro Rubber challenge.

This time we have a fun tic-tac-toe board created by me!

I do love tic-tac-toe boards! I went with the middle horizontal row - kraft paper, your choice, embossing.

I had a lot of fun making this card! I paired very old with very new! The embossing folder is new to me, and I got it at a second-hand craft store called Bottom of the Bin - x2 3D folders for $3!! I embossed a piece of kraft paper using it, and it really pops! I dug out a fun set by Stampin Up 'Zany Zoo' (2024) I especially love the gator, but there are quite a few other fun critters in the set. I coloured him with Altenew Markers. I paired it with a sentiment from a freebie set that I have had since 2017!!

I loved this card so much that I made 2 :)

I can't wait to see which row you use. Don't forget to pop over to Retro Rubber, and get inspired by the things the DT have made.

Challenge ends February 20th.

Retro Rubber Challenge #264 - Sketch time!

Hey,

Welcome to another fun Retro Rubber challenge.

We have a sketch for you this time.

You know how much I love a sketch!

I needed a hello card for a friend, and I thought this awesome set by Avery Elle 'Stuck on You' would be perfect. I used a scalloped circle die to add a bit of interest and the sentiment is also by Avery Elle 'Speech Bubbles'. I love the little faces you can add to the cacti! I coloured them using Altenew Markers.

Supplies: Avery Elle 'Stuck on You' and 'Speech Bubbles' - I have had both since 2020. Scalloped die is by The Works.
