Twisted Thursdays at The Outlawz January 2024

 


Hello friends and followers!

 I am delighted to announce The Outlawz Twisted Thursday Challenges for 2024 begin now!

 The challenges are always ANYTHING GOES with a fun optional twist! 

The twist this month is CELEBRATIONS! 

I chose a birthday card using my new to me Cricut Explore Air 2 along with a foiling kit. This is my first project using my new supplies. I had to use my Cricut marker attachment first and then went over it with foil that made all the difference in the look of my card.

Break A Leg


This card I designed for a friend who recently injured her leg. I seem to have had a few friends have either foot, leg or knee surgery in the last few months. I have a box full of scrap papers dating back to when my card making hobby began in 2008. With every card I make, I pick through my scrap paper stash and try to put together papers that one might not normally put together just to use up this large scrap stash. It seems to have worked out well so far. I still have a lot of papers to use up, but after the last few cards I have created by using my stash I am able to get the lid back on to the box again. Yay! 

For this card I handdrawn a leg, cut it out to wrap in ribbon, that was the hardest part of the entire process. Trying to find the right ribbon to look like a cast, most everything else I used in the card was already pre cut no trimming needed except the flowery paper had to be trimmed up evenly. I embellished with some heart and dragonfly stickers, added some little lines to show the flight path of the dragonfly. I found these tiny little flowers that I have saved from a punch I used and tacked them on with a dot of glue. I ended up putting a center dot of pink in each flower and added sparkly gems on each corner of the inside sentiment piece. 
I think it turned out ot be a fun colorful Get Well Soon card.

In Challenge #160, all members of the Cuttle-buggers group at Paper Craft Planet have been challenged to make a card using only the colors black and white, an embossing folder, and at least one die cut.  Be sure to label your card Pccuttlebug 160.

In my project I decided to make a tag, my Cuttlebug Embossing folder, a Cherub cut from my Cricut Expression, I tossed in some punched flowers and a little tied bow!

Popsicley Deliciousness!






I feel crafty mojo running through my veins this weekend!! Woo-hoo! Having a blast! I decided to mosey on over to the Fabulous Cricut Challenge Blog and see what kind of challenges I could attempt today.

Just so happened there was this cute tutorial on how to make a Popsicle shaped card. It is so easy! For my card I used the phrase "You Warm My Heart", the scalloped oval, and on the inside of the card is the cut word "I Love You" all of these were cut out on my Cricut machine. I admit to you now that I did not break out the Cricut machine today, I know its almost like cheating, but I already had all of these cut from some Valentines I had made a few years ago for cards that I had sent to our soldiers. Love it when I can use up some of my stash! :)

The Popsicle stick was the hard part to find. I heard the ice cream man music playing, as we always do on Saturdays in the summer, we scrambled for our dollars, run outside and he's already passed the house and he's not even driving slow enough for anyone to be able to get anything without chasing him down the street. So we gave up on that.

Then I remembered my hubby bought me something for Christmas that had some glue and I remembered seeing Popsicle sticks, I searched through every little box of stuff I have stashed here and there. I finally found it and it was just one stick. But hey, I was able to finish my card, punched the corner with my circle scalloped punch to give it that bite. And what a YUMMY delightful card I have to give to my sweetie when needed!

Stenciling with Your Spellbinders!





In the Cuttle-buggers group at Paper Craft Planet We were challenged to stencil using your Spellbinders in the Cuttle-bug. For my card I used the stencil shown below. Do you have a Cuttle-bug? Want to know more of what crafty kind of stuff you can do with it? You should join in the challenges at Paper Craft Planet. The Cuttle-buggers are looking for more participants! In my card I used the flower cut border that is at least 3 years old, I cut it when I first received my baby Cricut machine.

 

 To help me with my card making skills. I am currently in Class 3 of Color Me Creative Classes taught by Suzanne Dean. I am learning how to color darker skin tones at the moment and this image I used as a practice piece. I apologize for the novice coloring.. practice makes perfect right! I am really enjoying the classes, Suzanne is a very classy, smart, talented artist and I can say she is an absolute sweetheart; I have met her in person so I can attest to that! 

She has inspired me to want to take my Copics to the next level, after I feel more comfortable with my skills from my classes my goal is to pursue my Copic Intermediate Certification and help other crafters in my area become familiar with using their Copic markers.

Only by participating in THE OUTLAWZ 1000 MEMBER PARTY BLOG HOP  You can find out how right now!!! :D  If you want to learn how to make some fun cupcake wrappers you should check out the fun tutorial over at Anary's blog!

The Outlawz PARTY Sketch Challenge!


What a fun sketch challenge for the 1000 Member Party over at THE OUTLAWZ!

For my card I kind of twisted two challenges together the CAS and the Sketch Challenge. I used items that have been haunting me for quite some time. I didn't know how I would ever use these items. I made them using the pens of the Cricut machine. I made them when I first received my Cricut machine and have had them in my stash all this time. The border was also something that didn't quite get cut through that I have had lingering around till I finally used it on this card.

Anysoldier 4th of July Card Swap


These cards turned out so cute, don't ya think! I had so much help with coloring the images. I am so thankful for my family and friends for helping me rush to get this project finished. You cannot tell by this photo but these all had glossy accents on their hat, nose, eyes, and some of the flags. I used up some of the firecrackers I had from last years swap and I am very pleased with how they turned out. I ran out of bears so I whipped up a few more cards without bears to reach the goal of 20 cards. The Anysoldier.com card swap is where a group of men & women get together and swap cards to place into care packages that we each send over to the Military. If your interested in checking it out, check out the swap here!

Graduation Card

Did you get my doodle of the cap & diploma? If not you should! Here's the card I created using my doodled cap,  turned into a Cricut cut file, then using my Sure Cuts A Lot software to cut out. On this card I wanted to give it some dimension so I cut the top of one cut out cap and layered it onto another cut out cap. One card down and two more to make! Congrats to all the Grads of 2011!

Dirt Bike Birthday


My daughter is so funny. She asked me to spend my day making her guy friend a birthday card instead of cleaning carpets and the rest of the chores I had planned for the day. ;) So, I spent my day fussing with the Cricut machine only to discover the reason my paper kept moving around was because I was not using my mat. Ugh! Wasted half of my last sheet of 12x24 black card stock over this. It took me that long to figure it out. Then, I was trying to make the card a dirt bike theme but with checkered flags and it wasn't turning out, I didn't take in consideration the silhouette of the dirt biker would not stand out. Black on black. So I went another route. But when my daughter gets home she doesn't like that I placed a bow on it and the fact that the background was a light blue sparkly paper. So she left it behind only to return to pick the card back up. She was afraid it would be to girly and that he wouldn't like it. But since they already new about it of course they wanted to at least see it and decide for them selves. She said he really liked it.
