The Outlawz November 2025 Sketch Challenge, Final

Good morning

This November Sketch Challenge will be the final one for the Outlawz Challenges.

Starting January 1st, we are rolling out three updated challenges and hope that you all follow along. We truly appreciate everyone who has been with us starting as far back as when we used the Ning platform and cheering us along as we navigated using Blogger and Facebook as our new way to share our challenges!

We are looking forward to the coming new year and all your creative shares!

But for now, it’s time for our November 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 our shape is a Rectangle with the cue of Christmas. I hope you are inspired to create something wonderful and play along in our challenge this month!

My card is a very simple card for this challenge. I am in the process of buying a house and beginning to pack, so craft supplies are being limited. I had a pack of card covers that had been given to me, so I am making use of those pre-made items!

 
Supplies: 5 x 7

• Card cover unknown – was a gift
• Cardstock from The Paper Studio (base) & Stampin Up!
• Green Copic marker to add light highlights to the large sentiment
• Ink from Stamping up!
• Rhinestones from Stampin Up!
• Stamped from Unity Stamps (Say it Big, Holiday)

Thanks for stopping by!

CIU Challenge 342 – Thankful, Grateful, Blessed

Good morning!

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.

We are moving swiftly into cooler weather and I’m trying to get my Thanksgiving cards finished as I will need to start packing up my craft room soon.

I love this set of tree dies from Stamplorations! They look fabulous with any design paper I use for seasonal cards.

Card size: A2

• Cardstock from The Paper Studio (base) and scraps
• Design Paper from DCWV (Amber Autumn)
• Dies from Stamplorations (Gratitude Trees) & Spellbinders (Fall Botanicals)

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
