The Outlawz Color Challenge, October 2025

Good morning!

The October 2025 Color Challenge has started at The Outlawz Challenges. You can check it out HERE

The Fall Solstice has passed, and we are now moving into shorter and cooler days!

This month we have a fun, spooky color chart for you to use with a twist of pumpkins and Halloween.

I am still a bit short on Halloween cards, so this is perfect! I have this great pumpkin die base that I can use as is or add some fun jack-o-lantern faces. For this card, I did a bit of paper piecing for the jack-o-lanterns face and added some fun purple rhinestones for a bit of fun!

I didn’t have small enough punches, so I found a die that cut out different size circles and picked a couple for the eyes.

Supplies

• Cardstock from The Paper Studio (base) and Stampin Up!
• Die, Hollow bubbles from Kokorosa
• Die, Pumpkin face from Sizzix
• Die, Pumpkin Jack from Sizzix
• Distress Ik
• Embossing folder, Woodgrain from The Paper Studio
• Stash: Eyes and 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 340 – More than one die cut

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 am behind getting this posted. I am in the process of buying a home – it’ moving a lot faster than I thought it would but the offer has been made, and fingers crossed they accept!

This challenge is about using more than one die cut.

The oval background is the negative cut from a card I made earlier. I was so happy for this to not go to waste!

I love the skeleton leaves from Sizzix, and the design paper is one whose pattern I’m not fond of. However, I love the colors, and it works perfect with this die set! I got these beautiful multicolored leaves.

Card size: A2

• Cardstock from The Paper Studio (base) & Stampin Up!
• Design paper from The Paper Studio
• Dies from Sizzix (Skeleton Leaves) & Lawn Fawn (Everyday Banners)
• Ink: Distress ink & Versafine Clair
• Rhinestones from my Stash
• Sentiment from Stampin Up! (Teeny Tiny Wishes)

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