Welcome to Retro Rubber Challenge Blog's 62nd Challenge!

Hello and thanks for stopping in!  It is time for the Retro Rubber Challenge number 62!  Won't you join in the fun?

The challenge this time involves using a stamp one year old or older and the theme of "flowers".  Here is the challenge graphic and the card that I created for this challenge:

To create my card, I used a stamp from Darkroom Door dated 2015.  It is called Tulips and it is one of my favorites!  I love DD!  I stamped the image onto card stock, trimmed the rectangle, and colored with Copic Markers.  I cut some patterned paper from My Mind's Eye and adhered two pieces to the front of a pre-made and pre-scored card.  I added the stamped image with dimensional adhesive.  I then rounded the corners of the card, and added ribbon and a sticker from SRM.

This card came together so quickly and easily!  It was fun to make and now I have a thank you card to give a friend!  Please join us!  Then come back to Retro Rubber the Sunday after the challenge ends to learn the winner!  Thanks for stopping by!

Retro Rubber Challenge Blog #61! Please join us!

Today Retro Rubber Challenge Blog has another fun challenge, number 61!  This challenge involves using a stamp one year old or older, and the following theme:  buttons.

Here is the challenge graphic and the card that I created for this challenge:

To create this card, I first folded and cut a plain background card, and positioned it to stand upright. I rounded the corners using a corner rounder.  Next, I stamped the coffee cup image onto the front and the sentiment.   (Darcie's Milk & Cookies Stamp Set 2015)

Next, I colored the image using Copic Markers.  I used a circle die from Spellbinders to cut the circle off the front of the card, then placed the cut circle with the image inside the card using very tall dimensional adhesive.  This makes the image pop through the front of the card.  Then I added sequins and accent stars and the button.  The ink I stamped with was Memento.  Finally I added clear Wink of Stella to the accents.

Won't you join us?  I'd love to see your creations!  Enter your card at the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog, then check back the Sunday after the challenge ends to learn the challenge winner!

It is time for challenge 60 at Retro Rubber Craft Challenge Blog!

It is time for another challenge over at the Retro Rubber Challenge Blog!  Number 60!  The challenge this time involves using a stamp one year old or older, and the challenge theme.  This time the challenge theme is "baby critters".  Too fun!  Here is the challenge graphic and the card that I created for this challenge:

I used an old piece of patterned paper that I had from My Mind's eye, and trimmed it and rounded the corners.  I stamped onto white cardstock using black ink the little clouds (Lawn Fawn Sunny Skies 2012) and the cute dogs (Jane's Doodles Dogs at Play 2015).  I then colored them with Copic Markers.  I added them to the patterned paper using dimensional adhesive, cutting the one little dog's head so he could "hold" the other dog, like a baby.  I used some larger cloud stickers from my collection of supplies, then layered the little clouds on top.  The banner sticker is from Amy Tangerine Remarks and I cut the edges to points.  I added this to the card.  I adhered the patterned paper to a cut and folded white card, then added some twine, making a bow then wrapping the twine onto the card.

Won't you join this fun challenge?  We would love to see your creations!  Simply follow the instructions above and enter!  Then, join us back the Sunday after the challenge ends to learn the winner!  Come on over to the Retro Rubber Blog!  I also entered my card in City Crafter's challenge,  http://citycrafter.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/city-crafter-challenge-blog-birthday_11.html?m=1.  Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you for joining us for Retro Rubber's 59th challenge!

The big 59!  Challenge number 59!  Retro Rubber has a fun sketch challenge in store for you this time!  Just use a stamp one year old or older and the following sketch!  Easy and fun!  Here is the sketch graphic and the project that I created for the graphic:

To create my project I used a lacy type floral die.  It is so large it almost covers the whole invitation sized card.  I used watercolor style paper from MFT for the die cutting.  Next, I adhered this die cut to the front of an invitation sized pre-folded white card.  

Next, I stamped four butterflies with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto white cardstock.  I colored them with Copic Markers and fussy cut the images.  I added foam adhesive to the butterflies for dimension.  I bent the butterflies at the center to make them appear to be resting from flying.  Resting in a flower garden.  Next, I added the hello sticker from Krazy Kreations.  The stamp set is from Hampton Arts and I have had it a long time.  The date is from 2010.  I will never part with this set.  It comes with 6! butterflies of different sizes and designs!  

Please join our challenge!  Then join us back at the Retro Rubber Blog the Sunday after the challenge ends to learn the challenge winner!  Thanks for joining the fun!

Welcome! Please join us for Retro Rubber Challenge 58!

Hello and it is wonderful to "see" you!  Thanks for stopping by!

It is time for a new challenge over at the Retro Rubber Blog!  Challenge 58!  This time the challenge is "anything goes"!  Pretty simple and fun right?  Join us!

For this challenge you must also use a stamp that is one year old or older.  But you can create any project that you like, in the anything goes theme.

Here is the challenge graphic and the card I created this time around:

To create this card, which was super easy by the way, I used a white folded card invitation size, and a piece of cardstock that already came stitched with the banner. This cardstock is from DCWV.  I applied the banner cardstock, slightly trimmed so white would show.  I added a white "celebrate" diecut that I cut using my diecut machine and a die.  I used dimensional adhesive to apply the word.  Then, I stamped "you" on the diecut using a piece of an older stamp that I own (it is a thank you stamp from Studio112) which I inked with Memento ink.  I made sure there was no ink before stamping on the word "thank" and used my mini Misti.  

I entered my card in the following site's challenge:      http://asnowflakespromise.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1 A Snowflakes Promise, please check out their site.  :)   Here is what the stitched paper pad looks like and the stamp set:

It took about 5 minutes max!  Love quick cards!  Won't you join us for this challenge?  Then join us back at the Retro Rubber Blog the Sunday after the challenge end date to see who won the challenge!

Thank you so much for stopping in!

There is a new challenge at the Retro Rubber Blog! Check it out!

Hi and thanks for visiting my blog!  There is a new challenge over at the Retro Rubber Blog!  It is challenge 57, and involves using a stamp one year old or older, and the given theme.  The theme this time is a color challenge.  Too fun!  Here is the challenge graphic and the card that I created for this challenge:

I pulled out a stamp set I have had forever and never used!  I really love how the RR Blog gets me to use unused items!  The set is by Paper Smooches and is called Great Chemistry.  It has a date of 2011.  I also used the coordinating dies.

I found some patterned paper by Recollections (blue stripes) for the background.  I added a strip to a folded white invitation sized card.  I rounded the edges.  Using white cardstock I stamped and die cut the images.  I colored them with Copic Markers.  I took a piece of white cardstock, stamped the sentiment, and die cut it to create the framed edges.  I cut the inside block slightly smaller than the frame.

I added the images to the white block using dimensional adhesive.  Then I added the tied bow and sticky hearts from EK Success.  I adhered the frame and white block to the card.  Too fun!

It was so fun to create this card!  Won't you join us this time?  We would love to see your projects!  Then come back and visit the Retro Rubber Blog on the Sunday after the challenge ends to learn the challenge winner!  Best of luck!  

Thank you for joining us for Retro Rubber's Challenge 56! Birthday theme!

Hi there and how are you?  Thank you so much for coming over to view Retro Rubber Challenge Blog's 56th! challenge!  This time around, we are creating a crafting project using a stamp one year old or older, and a birthday theme!  Here is the challenge graphic and the card I created for this challenge:

I used a stamp that is one of my favs!  I will never ever part with it!  It is from The Stamps of Life,  It is "birthday for cookie",   August 2010 this set came out, see it here.  There are other fun stamp sets that I need from this line, like the "friends for cookie", a collection of cute dog friends!

I used my mini Misti and Memento Tuxedo Black ink and a white prefolded card to start the party.  I then stamped the cute dog, and colored him with two pink Copic markers, and two grey Copic markers.  I added a SRM sentiment sticker #51003 Happy Birthday, some silver cord, and a corner rounder.  It took all of 5 minutes!  So quick and fun!
