Stampin' Up! Halloween Card using Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper

  • Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek with Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper
  • Stampin' Up! Treat Time Stamp Set
  • Do you have your Second Assortment of watercolor pencils?

Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek


Some days' I'm just too lazy to stamp and color images, although I really love the new Stampin' Blends colors in the upcoming Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog, which I just received with my pre-order. Instead, I looked at the images in the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper and decided that cutting images from this Designer Series Paper was more in line what I wanted to do today for the card I had in my mind.  I also couldn't believe how cute the frogs in one of the prints in the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper Pack were, and I just had to find a way to use them on my card. One side of this Toil & Trouble paper set includes darling images, and the reverse sides are coordinating prints.



It always seems like Halloween comes up so fast that I only have time to make a few Halloween items.  This year I hope I'm starting early enough to do a few more projects than usual using the cute Halloween items from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog coming to customers September 5.    

    


     

I laugh every time I look at this card and see the frogs hopping out of the cauldron.  The look on the cat's face is also priceless.  

Directions for today's card:

  • Basic Black basecard  
  • Next layer is Gorgeous Grape  
  • Then the Granny Apple Green Layer
  • The image layer includes a print from the Toil & Trouble Designer Series paper with Lemon Lime and White dots.  
  • Then the witch image, cauldron, cat and frogs are fussy cut from other prints included in the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper pack   
  • The fence is die cut from Basic Black cardstock using a die from the Farmhouse Framelit Dies.  The Basic Black cardstock was backed with Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets before die cutting to avoid getting glue on the front of the fence when adhering
  • I purchased this die set because I wanted this fence.  Then when I received the Farmhouse Framelit Dies set I was so disappointed that the fence seemed to be missing.  However, once I opened the package, I realized that this set of dies included so many dies that the fence was on the backside of the side with the house, truck and tree.  It also includes dies for two different tags and a die for six cute little bows to use as embellishments.  Sooo cute!

  
   







  • The Everyday Label Punch was used to punch out the label used for the sentiment.  I trimmed the bottom bump off the tag, and I used the Detailed Trio punch to create the hole in the top of the tag for the ribbon.
  • The ribbon is the new Black 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon from the Holiday Catalog
  • The sentiment was created with 3 different stamps.  The line at the top and the bottom was created with a stamp from Make A Difference.  The Trick or Treat is from Itty Bitty Greetings.  The Thank You for Being so Sweet is from the Treat Time set.  The sentiments are stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink

Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek

I'm using the Stampin' Up All is Bright Designer Series Paper again today.  I've paired it with a new sentiment stamp set called Timeless Tidings Stamp set, another new Holiday set from Stampin' Up! that includes several beautiful sentiments plus a couple of holiday images you'll find useful for making cards, tags, gift bags, and Christmas wrappings.



Raise you hand if your Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog Wish List has grown over the past several days.  Tell me you haven't started looking for more ideas on Pinterest or searched Google for new product ideas.  Yup.  Ideas are being shown all over the web, and if you're like me, you can't get enough of the new ideas for these new stamp set.  Be sure to also watch my web site as I highlight more and more items from the new catalog to help you see ideas for using these new items.  It will help you make your final selection before you're able to order from the new catalog on September 5.  


    

     

This card again uses the All Is Bright Designer Series Paper.  I've fallen in love with this particular print.  Paired with Mossy Meadow and Pear Pizzazz cardstock, it really pulls the colors from this Designer Series print.    This card also introduces a new Holiday stamp set called Timeless Tidings, which I used for the sentiment on today's card.  It includes several wonderful holiday sentiments and I love the typeface used in this set.

Directions for today's card:

  • Mossy Meadow basecard  
  • Next layer is Pear Pizzazz  
  • Then the All Is Bright Designer Series Paper.
  • The image layer is a Gold Foil Sheet die cut with the Stitched Label Framelit.  The sentiment is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black.  Then the sentiment is stamped again in Real Red and only the Word Christmas is fussy cut and popped up on Dimensionals on top of the Very Vanilla Oval.  
  • The sentiment oval is die cut using one of the ovals from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies

  
   







  • The bow is the new Real Red 3/8" Mixed Satin Ribbon.  Its an updated twist on a standard grosgrain ribbon.  One half of the ribbon is embossed to look like the grosgrain, the other half is smooth.  Its attached with Glue Dots
