Project Recipe:

1. Cut cardstock and glow-in-the-dark specialty paper pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
   - card from Garden Green Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
   - 4" x 5-1/4" from Soft Sea Foam Cardstock
   - 2-1/4" square from Pretty Peacock Cardstock
   - 2-1/4" square from Garden Green Cardstock
   - 2-1/4" square from Basic Black Cardstock
   - 2-1/4" x 2-1/2" from Glow-In-The-Dark 6" x 6" Specialty Paper
   - 1-3/4" x 2-3/4" from Glow-In-The-Dark 6" x 6" Specialty Paper
   - 1-3/4" x 2-1/4" from Glow-In-The-Dark 6" x 6" Specialty Paper
   - 1-3/4" x 2" from Glow-In-The-Dark 6" x 6" Specialty Paper

2. As you are ready to stamp using the Tricks & Treats Set, place the specialty paper on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp. Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the Mat to protect it from ink.

3. Mount the "trick or treat" sentiment from the Tricks & Treats Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Memento or StazOn Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 1-3/4" x 2" glow-in-the-dark rectangle. Set aside to allow to dry.

4. Mount the haunted house image from the Tricks & Treats Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Memento or StazOn Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 1-3/4" x 2-3/4" glow-in-the-dark rectangle. Set aside to allow to dry.

5. Pick out the open dracula head die and the open monster head die from the Tricks & Treats Dies. Put them on top of the 2-1/4" x 2-1/2" and 1-3/4" x 2-1/4" glow-in-the-dark rectangles on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Do NOT let the dies overlap. Run through the machine.

6. Mount the dracula hair image and dracula face image from the Tricks & Treats Set together on Block C so the hair and face are centered. Ink them up with the Pretty Peacock Ink Pad. Stamp it on the dracula face cut out so the hair is as close as possible to the top edge. Set aside to allow to dry.

7. Mount the detailed monster face image from the Tricks & Treats Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Garden Green Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the monster face glow-in-the-dark cut out. Set aside to allow to dry.

8. Insert the Soft Sea Foam rectangle into the crosshatched folder included with the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. Use the line printed on the front flap of the folder to make sure it is lined up straight. Place the folder with the cardstock inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.

9. Adhere the dry embossed Soft Sea Foam rectangle to the front of the Garden Green card.

10. Pick out the stitched square die that cuts out a 2" square from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Put it on top of the Pretty Peacock square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Repeat with the Basic Black and Garden Green squares.

11. Adhere the three square cut outs to the front of the card as shown so they overlap each other a bit and the Pretty Peacock square is in the upper left corner, the black square is in the upper right corner, and the Garden Green square is in the lower right corner.

12. Adhere the monster face cut out at a slight angle to the center of the Pretty Peacock square on the card front as shown.

13. Adhere the dracula face cut out at a slight angle to the center of the Garden Green square on the card front as shown.

14. Pick out the open haunted house die from the Tricks & Treats Dies. Put it on top of the stamped haunted house image on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is centered over the image. Run through the machine.

    Tip: You might want to wipe off the cutting plate you had on the top of the sandwich to remove any ink that may have transferred during the cutting process.

15. Use Stampin' Dimensionals and Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the haunted house cut out to the center of the black square on the card front as shown.

16. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut apart the words in the "trick or treat" sentiment.

17. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the words "trick" and "treat" at slight angles as shown. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the "or" word at a slight angle as shown between the other two words.

18. Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a glow-in-the-dark ghost from the sheet of Glow-In-The-Dark Bats & Ghosts making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the upper left corner of the black square next to the top of the haunted house cut out on the card front as shown.
