Retro Rubber #35 Anything Goes....

Hey,

Welcome to another fabulous Retro Rubber challenge.

Today we have a fave challenge theme...Anything Goes...

I decided to make a shaker card, because I had the shaker pouch (filled with Lucy Abrams and SSS sequins), the aperture card and the card blank together on my desk..

I pulled out my Simon Says Stamp Sparkle & Shine stamp set (from 2014) and stamped two of the sentiments in bright colours and cut them out and affixed them to the card blank in the right positions (this took awhile..)

I decided the aperture piece was boring as it was, so added some purple ink to the newish Dots in Space stamp by Penny Black and touched the card to it, so I got uneven dot coverage, which is what I wanted.

Final touch was to heat emboss the sentiment onto vellum and attached this to the card using mini staples.

Sometimes the best cards are just sitting on your desk waiting to be made :)

Your turn to have a play and show us, but first go over to Retro Rubber and check out the fun things my teammates have made.

Remember to use stamps a year or older and tell us about them to be eligible for the challenge. 

The challenge ends on April 8th.

Retro Rubber Challenge #32...Winter...

Hey,

Time for another awesome challenge from the Retro Rubber  team.

This time with have a Winter theme for you...

I decided to break out my Simon Says Stamp Jan 2015 cardkit, as it was Winter themed, I thought it would be fun to use it.

I loved the papers in the set and chose one of my faves for the front of my shaker card.

As I have a Fuse tool, making shaker pouches is easy peasy. This one I filled with Blue Topaz shaker mix by Lucy Abrams - I love her sequin mixes.

I cut a co-ordinating frame using Simon Says Stamp square stitched dies - a frame helps cover the oops I made when attaching the shaker pouch :)

I die-cut the Lawn Fawn thanks from a scrap that matched the sentiment banner (die by Simon Says Stamp) the sentiment is from the Jan 2015 cardkit too.

I was pleased with how my card turned out and so it went to my in-laws to thank them for their thoughtful Christmas gifts.

Now it's your turn, what wintery creation are you going to share with us? Get inspired over at Retro Rubber  by the rest of my teammates.

Remember to use a stamp over a year and make sure you tell us how old it is. Challenge ends on February 26th.
