Fun Fold Friday- Tricks & Treat "Squeeze Box" Card

Fun Fold Friday with the Tricks & Treats "Squeeze Box" Card. This is a Fun Fold created by Susan Campfield. I saw this on Pinterest and knew I just had to try it but put a little "Rachael" spin on it!

The fun happens when you open it and reveal panels of Halloween art! The card stands up nicely all by it self and would make great Home Decor as well!

The front us this "pale" ghost that was die cut from the Tricks & Treats Dies. But once the lights are off...he really GLOWS!!!

How cool is this? I just love this Paper and am going to stock up so I can play with it for lots of glowing fun!

I also love the haunted house, bats, and trick or treat stamped images! Them Bones Designer Series Paper is perfect for this card too!

You can't forget the "treat" part of this card as the Die Cut Candy Corn hides in the corner.

You can make this card too when you shop from my online store, watch my video, and use the measurements below!
