Trick or Treat scrapbooking layout supplies:
Take a look at how the Trick or Treat scrapbooking layout came together
Gather your favorite Midnight Haunting ot combination of Halloween supplies. I used at least 6 different patterned papers, maybe even more, plus stickers and my electronic die cutting machine.
Make a super-sized Trick or Treat statement using your favorite font, or download one from your cutting machine's store, like I did. Design the page in the die cut software to make sure everything fits just right and then you can do one of two things.....1, cut the letters from the background paper or 2, cut each letter from your patterned paper of choice. I chose option 1.
After choosing option 1, I hand cut papers to add to the back of the page, shifting them around until I felt the patterns were evenly distributed. You can see that I just have them placed under each letter. I'll trim them up as I adhere them to the back of the paper.
Make it stand out!
I wanted the words to POP so I traced around each of the letters and what a difference that made!
Since I was doing a Halloween layout about my Archer Girl, I added a fun arrow-like design to the page, where there was a big open gap. It filled the space perfectly and really tied the photo better to the page. The arrow I selected had openings in the feather tips so I added a couple of patterns there too.
Add your finishing touches
Next, I added my photo and embellishments, placing a few butterflies and stars scattered here and there.

You'll need your favorite expressions cut to size from patterned paper, and the awesome embellishments (hello, enamel confetti!) from the Happy Hooray collection plus card bases cut to 8.5" x 11". You can download my Silhouette template for card bases and the die cut words
Fold your card base in half so it measures 4.25" x 5.5". Cut the words from my cut file found
Add additional embellishments and enamel confetti for a fun and festive look.
Wanting to wish someone a very happy birthday? Get your point across with birthday overload. To create this, fold your card base in half and place it in landscape / horizontal in front of you. Add the chipboard "HAPPY" banner across the top. Using that awesome washi again, run a strip across and under the banner to create a border. Then, cut the words "happy" from the repeat stickers in the collection. Just cut it right down the middle so that you have the words "birthday" remaining.
Find the center of your card and add 5 birthdays stacked evenly on top of each other. I kept the stickers on the backing and was able to easily peel from the side and adhere all 5 on at the same time. Easy breezy. Next, add the words to the right and left, leaving an even gap in the middle. Lastly, fill the gap with candles. Add embellishments as you wish.
All you need are 4 - 6 coordinating patterned papers, a few coordinating embellishments, a die cut machine (manual or electronic), tape runner, jute or a sign holder.
Cut your alphas. I created a lighter outline of each letter (2 1/4" w x 3"h) and then cut each letter slightly smaller in contrasting paper (1 3/4" w x 2 3/4"h) so that the letter would stand out more.
Now it's time to assemble everything. Using your banners as the base, lay your letters on top and select a few embellishments to add to it. I selected a mix of dimensional and non-dimensional embellishments. Once you like what you see, commit by adhering it all in place.
