Cut cardstock and designer paper pieces to the following sizes using a Stampin' Trimmer:
- 6-3/4" square of vanilla dots on black background design from Spooky Night Designer Series Paper
- 4 jack o'lanterns cut from pumpkins and jack o'lanterns on vanilla background design from Spooky Night Designer Series Paper
- scrap of Cajun Craze Cardstock at least 1-1/4" wide
- scrap of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock at least 1-1/4" wide
Follow the directions printed on the Envelope Punch Board for making an envelope that will hold a 3-1/2" x 4-1/2" card. Fold on all score lines.
Before adhering the envelope pieces in place, slide the corner of one of the larger flaps as far as it will go into the 1/8" Handheld Circle Punch. Punch. This will be the larger flap on the bottom of your envelope.
Slide the corner of the other larger flap into the 1/8" Handheld Circle Punch about 3/8". Punch. This will be the larger flap on the top of your envelope.
Fold the envelope closed, but still don't adhere anything in place. Use a pen to draw a circle on the bottom flap through the hole punched in the top flap.
Slide the bottom flap into the 1/8" Handheld Circle Punch and line the punch up over the circle you drew. Punch.
Cut a 6" piece of Vintage Crochet Trim.
Thread the trim through the two holes punched in the larger bottom flap. Leave the ends loose.
Now, you can put small pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the back side of the larger bottom flap on both sides. Remove the protective backings and adhere the bottom larger flap to the two side flaps. Make sure your trim ends are still free on the outside of the envelope.
Insert the treat, card, or gift card into the envelope.
Tie the ends of the trim together in a knot to hold the envelope closed. Trim the ends.
If you haven't already done so, cut 4 jack o'lanterns from the piece of Spooky Night Designer Series Paper.
Punch a circle from the scrap of Cajun Craze Cardstock using the 1" Circle Punch.
Mount the "Being Your Friends is a Real Treat" or the "You're Sweet" sentiment from the Seasonal Chums Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Basic Black Archival Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the scrap of Pumpkin Pie Cardstock.
Unlock the 3/4" Circle Punch. Holding the punch upside down so you can see the punching area, slide the stamped sentiment into the punch. Carefully line up the sentiment so it is centered in the punching area. Punch.
Adhere the sentiment circle to the center of the Cajun Craze circle.
Without adhering anything yet, place the jack o'lantern cut outs and matted sentiment circles on the front of the envelope to figure out spacing. When happy with the spacing, adhere the large skinny jack o'lantern flat. Adhere the matted sentiment circles flat so they overlap the left side of the skinny jack o'lantern. Adhere the larger, darker Cajun Craze jack o'lantern flat so it overlaps the right side of the skinny jack o'lantern just a bit.
Adhere the round Pumpkin Pie jack o'lantern to the envelope front with Stampin' Dimensionals so it is on top of the larger, darker jack o'lantern.
Adhere the smaller, darker Cajun Craze jack o'lantern to the front of the envelope using a Stampin' Dimensional so it overlaps the sentiment circles and the skinny jack o'lantern.
Cut a 3" piece of Vintage Crochet Trim. Tie it in a half knot. Trim the ends.
Adhere the trim knot to the envelope front with a Mini Glue Dot so it is just to the left of the smaller, darker Cajun Craze jack o'lantern.
