Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- card from Pumpkin Pie Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
- 4" x 5-1/4" from Very Vanilla Cardstock
- 1" x 4-1/2" of multicolored dots on black background from Spooky Night Designer Series Paper
- 1" x 4-1/2" of multicolored stripes on vanilla background from Spooky Night Designer Series Paper, cut so the stripes are horizontal
- 3-1/4" square from Basic Black Cardstock
- 3-1/4" square from Very Vanilla Cardstock
Place the large rectangle of Very Vanilla Cardstock into the Polka Dot Basics Embossing Folder. Place the folder with the card stock inside on top of a Cutting Pad on your Big Shot Platform at the lowest possible setting. Place another Cutting Pad on top of the folder and run through the Big Shot.
Unlock the Banner Triple Punch. Slide one of the strips of Spooky Night Designer Series Paper into the punch as far as it will go. Punch. Repeat with the other strip of Spooky Night Designer Series Paper.
Adhere the dotted, punched strip of designer paper to the dry embossed vanilla layer so the punched edge almost touches the left side of vanilla layer, the strip is straight, and the strip is about 1-3/4" up from the bottom of the vanilla layer. Use Paper Snips to trim off excess on the right side.
Adhere the striped, punched strip of designer paper to the dry embossed vanilla layer so the punched edge almost touches the notch on the other strip and this strip is at a slight downward angle. Use Paper Snips to trim off excess on the right side.
Adhere the vanilla layer to the front of the Pumpkin Pie card.
Put a small piece of Tear & Tape Adhesive across the center of the designer paper strips vertically. Remove the protective backing.
Cut a 15" piece of Gold 1/8" Ribbon.
Lay the ribbon on the card front in a zig zag pattern so there is a fold in the ribbon on either side and a loose end of ribbon on either side. Adhere to the Tear & Tape Adhesive by pressing in place. Cut off excess on the loose ends with Paper Snips.
Pick out the scalloped circle framelit that cuts out a 2-13/16" scalloped circle from the Layering Circles Framelits. Place the Basic Black square on a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the scalloped circle framelit on top. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Mount the "Thanks for Everything" sentiment from the All Things Thanks Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Pumpkin Pie Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the vanilla square.
Pick out the smooth circle framelit that cuts out a 2-10/16" circle from the Layering Circles Framelits. Place the stamped sentiment square on a Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the circle framelit on top so the sentiment is centered in the circle. Place another Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.
Adhere the vanilla sentiment circle on top of the black scalloped circle.
Adhere the circles to the card front so they are centered over the designer paper strips and zig zag ribbon.
Add two gold 3/16" circles and one gold 1/8" circle from the Metallic Enamel Shapes to the card front as shown.
