3-2-1 Recipe Guidelines


We suggest you take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with our new Guidelines for our 3-2-1 Recipe Challenges. Most important is the content for Things 1, 2, and 3 and understanding our new concept. This 3-2-1 Guideline Page is a work in process as we go forward with challenges. 

Thing 1 Trouble Maker
will always require a 3-2-1 Recipe, but the ingredients may vary with each new challenge. You can customize and enhance the ingredients to fit any theme or occasion unless the theme is otherwise specified.  You may use more than the ingredients stipulated but you MUST include at least the required minimum of each ingredient for successful results and a chance in our random drawing. 

You can stop here and be eligible for a chance in our random drawing or consider using Twisted Sister's optional twist.
    AND/OR 
You may want to consider using Double Dare's Dare to use the the bi-weekly sketch at our Sister Challenge.   


Thing 3 Twisted Sister 
will provide you with an optional twist, sometimes related to an Alternate Challenge requirement. If you choose to include the optional twist in your Thing 1 project, you will earn another chance in our random drawing, with or without using the TSOT sketch.  

Thing 2 Double Dare
if you have used the TSOT sketch with our 3-2-1 Recipe, you are eligible for TWO additional chances in our random drawing.  The current sketch can be found in the clipart in Thing 1's and 2's handhowever, click HERE for additional sketch detail.  
This is optional, not mandatory, but encourages the combining of challenges, which applies to all future challenges. 

Guidelines of TSOT Sketch:  You are free to change the orientation of the sketch by rotating or flipping it, changing it from landscape to portrait, or vice versa, or using its mirror image. You may modify shapes using other shapes (ovals for squares, circles for triangles, flowers in place of a circle, etc.) as long as the basic sketch is visible in your project. 
 
Note: If a certain shape is specified in the 3-2-1 Recipe ingredients, that shape must be used. The TSOT Guidelines permit modification or substitution of shapes with other images or shapes, but the 3-2-1 Recipe will prevail when challenges are combined. 
 
*Alternate Challenge Alert: Periodically, we will offer an Alternate. That means... if our Thing 1 requirement meets the requirement of the Alternate Challenge, this will be another challenge where you are free to link. Sometimes this may require Thing 3's optional twist as well. The same will apply when linking to the TSOT sketch above. 

KITCHEN ICONS FOR OUR 3-2-1 RECIPE INGREDIENTS 
Introducing "Ingredient Icons". These are primarily for use with the clipart but if you click on the ingredient in the 3-2-1 recipe in the Double Trouble challenge post, it will give you the ingredient's purpose and what crafting materials are acceptable. These are general icons; but the ingredient may specify specific requirement and takes priority over the general ingredient. 

The 1-quantity ingredient will generally be a particular image, sentiment, or shape. Other 1-quantity ingredients that may be used:  
  • Card style: Slimline, Fun Fold, Shaped, Shaker, Aperture 
  • Create a Scene 
  • Personally Created Background, i.e., Foil, Pattern Stamping, Ink Blending, Embossing, Stenciling, Gel Plate, Distressing, Bokeh, Watercolor, Dies, etc. 
  • Doodling Technique


INGREDIENT ICONS 
Click the Description next to icon for additional detail and acceptable products or techniques, but remember each ingredient in our particular challenge post will go directly to the icon description page.   


EMBELLISHMENTS:
This includes items like sequins, gems, dots, glitter, buttons, or small die-cut shapes like flowers, used to add texture and visual appeal to the card. Embellishing refers to the creative process of adding decorative elements, enhancements, or finishing touches to handmade cards to make them more visually appealing and personalized.
