Fusion Card Challenge - So Berry Sweet...

Hey,

Welcome to another fantastic Fusion Card Challenge.

It's been a bit of a whirlwind the last week and a half. We bought a house and finally moved in last Friday. The craft room and my work desk were the first things I unpacked. The craft room is not finished, but it is totally open for business ;)

This time we have 'Thanks Strawberries' for you! As always both the sketch and the inspiration image are awesome.

Which will you try?

I loved both, so I fused them!

I knew I had a set by Studio Calico that had fruit in it!! Fortunately, I packed my stamps in their bins, so it was easy to find!

I cut a piece of white cardstock to fit the front of an A2 card blank and stamped the strawberries on the piece that would appear below my glittery border. I coloured them using Altenew markers. The sentiment is from the same set and echoes the 'thanks' sentiment in the inspiration image.

I am super pleased with the first-ever card from my forever craft room.

Make sure you check out all the rest of the inspiration by the DT over at the Fusion challenge blog, and play along with your own creation! When playing along you may use the sketch OR the photo to inspire your makes. OR, if you are feeling adventurous, you can fuse them together (see what I did there!).

Can't wait to see your makes. 

Challenge ends on November 8th.

Retro Rubber Blog Challenge - #194 - Colour Challenge - booyah! It's the 90's...

Hey,

Welcome to another fun Retro Rubber challenge.

We have colour challenge for you this time.

I love these colours together, they work so well.

I used an old layering stamp from The Works in the UK, I have had it since 2017. I stamped the bigger flower in yellow and the x2 center pieces in orange and brown. The little strip is by Taylored Expressions and I trimmed it down so it was a bit smaller, as I thought that worked better here. I added a red heart and some twine to finish it off.

I felt it was missing something, so repeat stamped happy birthday and that made me happy!

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

Challenge ends November 4th.

Don't forget to tell us the age of your stamp, that is part of the fun of our challenge, and please only enter 10 challenges including Retro Rubber.

Fusion Card Challenge - Kitchen...

Hey,

Welcome to another fantastic Fusion Card Challenge.

This time we have 'Kitchen' for you! As always both the sketch and the inspiration image are awesome.

Which will you try?

I decided to use the inspiration image only this time. I used a Clearly Besotted 'On the shelf' set it has all these great rows of items, they make super quick and fun cards.

I used the 'kitchen' row here and coloured it with Altenew markers. I love the sentiment that comes with the set, mainly because a friend and I are always messaging each other to 'spill the tea'. LOL. I finished it off with a MFT 'Wonky, Stitched' rectangle die and chose a card blank that coordinated, so my colouring would pop a bit more.

Make sure you check out all the rest of the inspiration by the DT over at the Fusion challenge blog, and play along with your own creation! When playing along you may use the sketch OR the photo to inspire your makes. OR, if you are feeling adventurous, you can fuse them together (see what I did there!).

Can't wait to see your makes. 

Challenge ends on October 25th.

Retro Rubber Blog Challenge - #193 - Anything Goes....

Hey,

Welcome to another fun Retro Rubber challenge.

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

I love this card, I play a little challenge with a couple of my cardmaking friends and this was for 'National Batman Day'.

Taylored Expressions have this set called 'Sarcasti-Chick' and you can buy add-ons for it. I love it and use it a lot since I bought it in 2019.

I stamped, coloured and die-cut the Chick and added the superhero outfit from one of the add-on sets. The sentiment is one of my all-time faves, because I am pretty darn lazy!

Can't wait to see your makes, which part of your stash will you use? Pop over to Retro Rubber and get inspired by the things the DT have made.

Challenge ends October 21st.
