Toil & Trouble Halloween Card idea
September 13, 2018
Bubble, Bubble Toil and Trouble! It's time for a Stampin' UP! Halloween Card idea!
I have SO many tips for you in this blog post.. be sure to scroll all the way down and read all the tips!
You may not think about the Farmhouse Christmas bundle as something to pull out when making a Halloween card, but I loved the fence and tree, and used them in my Toil & Trouble Halloween card! I paired them with the Toil & Trouble designer paper and cut out the witch, cauldron and cat with my Cauldron Framelit dies!! YES! they cut out the images on the Designer paper! yay!!
The Starry night background paper is also found in the Toil & Trouble Designer Paper pack. I tore a piece of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock for the hills.
SO.. you know when you have that LIGHTBULB MOMENT ... yep, I had one! I stamped the tree from the Farmhouse Christmas stamp set onto Wood Textures paper and die cut it with the matching framelit! I thought it was pretty brilliant! :)

Super Crafting Tip!
BEFORE die cutting intricate images like the fence from the Farmhouse Christmas Framelits, add the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets to the back of your paper or cardstock, then die cut, and VOILA.. you have a perfectly cut fence with adhesive already on it ready to apply to your project!
2nd Super Crafting Tip!
I needed gold stars for this project, so I colored my Twinkle Adhesive Backed sequins with my Dark Mango Melody Stampin' Blends marker!
Toil & Trouble Designer paper #147531, available HERE online.
It might be difficult to see but I sponged Champagne Shimmer Paint onto the green bubbles on the cauldron. You could also use Wink of Stella!
Did you see the cute Bubble, Bubble, Toil & Trouble sentiment? I stamped it onto a die cut from the Farmhouse Christmas Framelits, and then cut off the end that I didn't need. It already has those cute stitched lines on it!! yay!
