Toil & Trouble with Cauldron Bubble

Hello and happy Friday!  Not only is it the start of the weekend, but it’s also TGIF Challenges day.  Our challenge this week is to use punches.  I’ll admit, I don’t show my punches a lot of love these days so this was truly a bit of a challenge for me.  However, I was able to mix an older, basic .punch with a newer whimsical punch to accent a fun card-in-a-box.

We are less than 2 weeks away from the launch of the Stampin’ Up! holiday catalog, so I’m going to start sharing a few sneak peeks with you.  Halloween projects are always fun and I love the cute factor of the Toil and Trouble Suite of products.  It includes the Cauldron Bubble stamp set, Cauldron Framelits dies, and Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper.

There are lots of fun images to color and die-cut.  I used the Stampin’ Blends to color all of the images on this card.  If you don’t want to color, the Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper includes images that you can easily die-cut to use on your project.  To meet the challenge, you’ll see that I used a 3/4″ circle punch for the sentiment and the Twinkle Punch adds a little sparkly moon and stars to the background.

This style of card is called a “card in a box”.  I’ve shared a few on my blog before and they have always been popular.  On Monday, I’ll be sharing 2 more versions that feature new Christmas stamp sets.  I’m also working on editing a video tutorial and it will be available sometime this weekend.  These cards may look intimidating, but I’m going to break it down for you, step-by-step.  You’ll be amazed at how easy they are to make!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I’ll be adding the supply list after the Holiday catalog goes live on Sepember 5th.
