YOU card for Tic Tac Toe at Retro Rubber

 We love seeing all the different interpretations of a Tic Tac Toe board over at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog.  Come check it out and play along!


 I took this opportunity to make another card for my son, as he graduated from Candidate to Cadet and has completed the toughest part of his Oregon Youth Challenge Program.


The set is Hot Off the Press "You greeting" released in 2018.

  • I selected some patterned papers from my card making kit scrap stash.  These happen to be Heidi Grace from 2003.   The papers are die cut with My Favorite Things Die Namics Modern Stitched Rectangles STAX.  
  • The "you" is die cut from the red cardstock that backs the patterned paper on the card front.  
  • The sentiment is stamped in Versa Color Indigo and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Then it is die cut with Lawn Cuts Everyday Sentiment Banners, 2016.
  •  The card is adhered together with adhesive.  

Once I selected my vertical row "die cut, large sentiment, and pattern paper" this card came together very quickly. Thanks for stopping by!  Hope to see your cards over at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog.

Through the Trees Card for Sketch Challenge

We are having fun in 2023 at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog.  Check out this sketch for the next two weeks and our 200th challenge!

This card will be sent to my son to encourage him during his stay at Oregon Youth Challenge.  Masculine themed and fun to create.


This is a stamp set with many sentiments by Pink Fresh "Through the Trees" released in 2019.  

  • The image of the trees is stamped in Memento Bamboo Leaves then turned 180 degrees and stamped again in Northern Pine.  The image is trimmed to 4" x 5 1/4" and adhered to the front of Kraft card base.
  • Memento Northern Pine is inked onto a 1" x 4 1/4" strip of paper with an ink dauber.
  • The sentiment is stamped on Kraft cardstock 1/2" x 4 1/4" in Memento Northern Pine.
  • The two strips are adhered to follow the sketch.

Easy Peasy!  I do love how using the stamp with a second stamping really makes this image shine.  Please do come and play along with Retro Rubber Challenge Blog.  Check out the amazing cards the design team has created!
