CIU Challenge 331 … Anything Goes

A new Cut it Up Challenge has started. You can find the challenge HERE.

For these challenges, a die-cut is anything made with a manual or an electronic die-cutting machine. (Spellbinders, Cricut, MFT dies, Silhouette, etc.). Store bought die-cuts are also acceptable. Please note that handheld punches and/or paper-piecing DOES NOT count as a die-cut

I use sooo many Birthday cards, and I am totally out so this card had no choice but to be a birthday card. The cupcake tops and the word “you” are cut from fun foam and the “frosted” with glitter glue.

Card size: 5 x 7

• Cardstock from The Paper Studio (base) & Stampin Up!
• Design paper from Scrapbook Wizard (Mat pack one)
• Dies: “You” from Little Yellow Bicycle (Love You), Celebrate banner & cupcake is unknown
• Embossing folder from Spellbinders (Geometric Stripes)
• Fun foam from the Dollar Tree
• Glitter glue from Studio G

Thanks for stopping and remember to stop by the challenge to check out all the DT projects and play along!

May 2025 Sketch Challenge: Spring or is it?

Good morning

It’s time for The Outlawz May 2025 Sketch Challenge! Our challenge (located HERE). These days we are doing things differently than traditional sketch challenges … we are giving you a shape that must be prominent on your card or project along with a theme

This month the shape is a scalloped circle with a Spring theme and our lovely sponsor is Andrea from SheepSki Designs. You can find her ETSY shop HERE

I admit, I messed this one up, remembered the circles but forgot the theme and went on my merry way making this card!

But I like to think that coffee is a year round flavor?

Supplies: 5 x 7 card
Image from SheepSki Designs (Coffee) and printed on Hammermill Color Copy
Cardstock from The Paper Studio (Base)
Die from Spellbinders: Scalloped Circles
Design paper from Unity Stamps (Coffee Loving)
Ink from Tsukineko (Versafine Clair)
ProMarkers
Sentiment from Close to My Heart (You make me Happy)
Stash: Enamel Dots
Vellum from Stampin Up!

May 2025 Color Challenge: Tic Tac Toe

Good morning!

A new Color Challenge has started at The Outlawz Challenges. You can check it out HERE

This month we have a lovely tic tac toe board for you to play around with!

Here is my card.

I used the far-right column from top to bottom. This is much pinker that I generally deal with. It’s not my favorite color so I tend to use it sparingly when I can but I'm not unhappy with how this turned out.

Supplies (5 x 7)

Cardstock from Stampin up!

Design paper from Momenta (Marbled)

Die: Unknown

Stash: Rhinestones

Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to stop by our Facebook page and The Outlawz Challenge Blog for more challenges and Inspiration!

CIU Challenge 329 … So Sorry

A new Cut it Up Challenge has started. You can find the challenge HERE.

For these challenges, a die-cut is anything made with a manual or an electronic die-cutting machine. (Spellbinders, Cricut, MFT dies, Silhouette, etc.). Store bought die-cuts are also acceptable. Please note that handheld punches and/or paper-piecing DOES NOT count as a die-cut

I like having a few get-well cards on hand so this is my somewhat clean and simple So Sorry contribution!

The smaller feather is a bit thicker because I stacked several layers of heavy cardstock underneath the design paper to give it some dimension off the page.

Pro tip! If you like the colors but not the design of your papers, they are amazing to use for die cuts like this feather. 

Card size: 4.25 x 5.50

• Cardstock from Stampin Up!
• Design Paper from DCWV (Amber Autumn)
• Embossing folder from Stampin up! (Subtle)
• Feather dies are unknown
• Ink from Tsukineko (Versafine Clair)
• Rhinestones from Stampin Up!
• Sentiment from a Unity Stamp Company Grab Bag
