Retro Rubber Challenge Blog - Just a Note


Hello everyone!

I am here with Retro Rubber Challenge blog and we have a new challenge, which is to make a card with fruit related staamps or paper. Be sure to stop over on the Retro Rubber Challenge blog to get more inspiration, the design team has some wonderful creations!

The rules to play along with Retro Rubber Challenge is very simple, make sure the stamp you use on your project is at least one year or older. For more details on the rules, you can find them over on Retro Rubber Challenge blog.


Here is my take on the challenge.


This week’s challenge is all about incorporating fruit stamps or patterned paper into your card design. For my card, I used the LDRS Creative Just a Note stamp set to create this cheerful fruity design. The stamp set is retired and I believe it was introduced in June 2023.

I stamped and die cut the fruit images, then arranged them across the panel for a bright and playful look. The sentiment, “Just a Note,” was also stamped from the Just a Note stamp set to complete the card with a simple finishing touch.

I love how the colorful fruit creates such a fresh and fun card that’s perfect for sending a little note to brighten someone’s day!

Are you ready to play along? Be sure to stop over on the Retro Rubber Challenge blog to get some more inspiration! Thank you for stopping by, you have until June 26th to join the fun!

Thank you for stopping by, please come back again soon.

Newton’s Nook Designs - Birthday Tulips

Hello everyone,

I am on the Newton’s Nook Designs blog today  sharing a cute tulip birthday card.  I am using the Tulips Stamp and die set.  These tulips are perfect for any occasion.  My card today is sending a beautiful birthday wish to a special person.

I stamped the tulips, colored with Olo markers and die cut the image using the coordinating Tulips Die Set.  I then paired it with paper from the Spring Blooms Paper collection for a soft seasonal touch.
 
The design is framed with the elegant Framework Die Set and accented with the Circle Frames Die Set to draw attention to the flowers and sentiment. A banner created with the Banner Duo Die Set adds the perfect finishing detail from the Birthday Roundabout sentiment, making this card ideal for celebrating birthdays with a cheerful spring-inspired style.
