Fold the card on the score line.
As you are ready to stamp using the Cute Halloween Set place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the solid cat head image from the Cutest Halloween Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad or Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it on Grid Paper one time. WITHOUT RE-INKING, stamp it in the lower right corner of the vertical, large white rectangle.
Mount the outline cat head image from the Cutest Halloween Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad or Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it over the top of the previously stamped cat head.
Mount the detailed cat face image from the Cutest Halloween Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad or Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it inside the previously stamped cat head image.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle into the inside flap of the Pumpkin Pie card.
Adhere the strip of cat faces and jack o'lanterns Cute Halloween Designer Paper to the left side of the vertical Basic Black rectangle so about 1/16" of black shows on the top, left, and bottom edges.
Adhere the strip of striped Cute Halloween Designer Paper to the right side of the vertical Basic Black rectangle so about 1/16" of black shows on the top, right, and bottom edges. There should be a thin line of black showing between the two strips of designer paper.
Cut a 5-3/4" piece of the Black 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon across the matted designer paper strips so it is centered over the line of black between the two strips. Fold the ends of the ribbon over and secure the ribbon in place on the back with strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape pieces and add Stampin' Seal to the back of the Basic Black rectangle. Adhere the rectangle to the small front flap of the Pumpkin Pie card.
Mount the "You put a smile on my face" sentiment from the Cutest Halloween Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad. Stamp it on the bottom of the vertical small white rectangle so it is centered side to side and is about 3/8" from the bottom edge.
Mount the solid pumpkin image from the Cutest Halloween Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad. Stamp it about 1/4" above the stamped sentiment so it is centered side to side.
Mount the outline pumpkin image from the Cutest Halloween Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad or Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it over the top of the previously stamped solid pumpkin.
Mount the detailed jack o'lantern face image of choice from the Cutest Halloween Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Jet Black StazOn Ink Pad or Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad. Stamp it inside the previously stamped pumpkin image.
Adhere the stamped white rectangle to the center of the Pumpkin Pie rectangle.
Put strips of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back of the matted white rectangle so they will be on the left side of the matted rectangle when it is right side up (put on the right side of the rectangle when upside down).
Remove the protective backings from the Tear & Tape and adhere the matted white rectangle to the small front flap of the card so it overlaps the right edge of the flap about 1/4" and is about 3/4" from the top edge. Make sure NO adhesive goes over the right edge of the small front flap or your card will be sealed shut.
Cut an 3-1/2" piece of the Black 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon.
Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.
Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card so it is centered over the ribbon already on the card front just below the matted white rectangle.
