Retro Rubber Challenge #232 Get your sketch on!

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 love the lighthouse stamp by Pink & Main, it is from their 'love the shore' cardkit from 2022 and a friend gave me the set last year, the sentiment is also from the set. I added just plain blue squares to fit the sketch and embossed the background using an ancient anchor embossing folder.

I feel like this is the perfect card for a guy!

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 June 14th.

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.

Retro Rubber Challenge #230 Nautical Theme

Hey,

Welcome to another fun Retro Rubber challenge.

I just got back from Lemon's 50th Birthday Cruise!! More to come on that in another post ;)

This time we have a nautical theme for you.

I chose the theme for this challenge, I love all things nautical and if my hubby would let me, I can guarantee our bedroom would look like the inspiration image!

I had all kinds of ideas, but ultimately, the navy and white stripes inspired me. Which meant I got to get out my fave set ever 'Brushstrokes' by Stampin' Up, I have had it since 2015 and it is used a lot. I also wanted to incorporate a nautical icon of some sort and the anchor is perfect. It is by Pink & Main from 'The Shore' card kit 2022.

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

Challenge ends May 17th.

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. And you can enter using Instagram, Facebook or Flickr, you don't have to have a blog!

CASology: Just Be Claws..

Hey,

Happy Monday.

Hope you are all staying home, safe and well.

I loved my friend Jen's take on the current CASology challenge and it inspired me to play along.

I actually have a lot of friends and family (including Hubby) that are Cancerians AND because I love Crabs it felt like a natural fit to go down that road.

ALSO my beloved Big Shot gave up last Monday and so I am still waiting for a large format die-cutter, so everything I make that needs die-cutting has to be able to go through my smaller We R Memory keepers mini die-cutter.

The crab is from the Mama Elephant 'Cosmic Stars' set and I added the fun sentiment from the Pink & Main 'Oh Crab!' set.

I think the bright pink card blank helps make Mr Crab stand out and I couldn't resist adding teeny tiny googly eyes, because we all love googly eye right?

CASology: Funky...

Hey,

Happy Friday!

I love the cue word over at CASology this week -

I have quite a few stamps that could be considered Funky, but I really wanted to use 'Oh Deer' by Dylusions because I have wanted it for a while and finally got my hands on it this weekend on super bargain sale.

I also bought a set by Sizzix and Jen Long 'Sweet Deer' and that sparked an idea for me.

I stamped and coloured the Deer from the Dylusions set and then stamped 'Oh Deer' from the Sizzix set and added the final part 'I forgot your special day' from a Pink and Main set.

Love it when I get to mix stamp sets.

I am super happy with my funky belated birthday card.

Tonight I am doing a class with Cheiron at the InkPad - whoop! It will be the start to a super fun weekend.

CASology: Just be-claws....

Hey,

Hope you are having a good weekend so far.

I am spending QT at my desk, now my MOJO seems to have returned..

This week's CASology cue card fits my love of the sea perfectly..

I have lots of Marine focused stamps, but I decided it would be fun to use 'Oh Crab' by Pink & Main..mainly be-claws..I lost it and then had to purchase it again,as living without it wasn't an option!

I used 'Falling Circles' by Neat & Tangled with a Blue Breeze Kaleidacolor ink pad to create the background.

The sentiment is from the Pink & Main set.

I'm pretty happy with the finished card, has a nice CAS feel to it and uses two thirds of the card, which is my fave CAS formula!
