Say Happy Halloween with a sweet treat not a trick!  I put together this little card that doubles as a flap for a little bag of candy for a friend.  Use your Fiskars tools to whip up the front of the card and even embellish the backside of the flap.  And be sure to keep some of that candy handy for while you create!  Happy Halloween!

Instructions (Print version)

1.) Trim white cardstock to 6.25x6.5 and use Fiskars Uppercrest Border punch on the right edge.  Fold paper 1.5 from the right edge to create a flap.

2.) Use Fiskars Twist & Flip Corner Rounder to round left bottom and top corners.  Trim teal cardstock to 6x4.25 and use Fiskars Twist & Flip Corner Rounder to round left bottom and top corners, then adhere to the white cardstock background.  Trim patterned paper to 5 5/8x3 7/8 and use Fiskars Twist & Flip Corner Rounder to round left bottom and top corners, then adhere to teal cardstock.

3.) Out of grey cardstock, punch one circle using Fiskars Round 'n Round XL, Round 'n Round L, and Round 'n Round M Squeeze Punches.  Add rub-ons, jewels, and letter stickers.  Adhere "treat" circle to blue cardstock and trim using Fiskars Pinking Paper Edgers.  Adhere all the circles to the front of the card.

4.) Staple card onto the bag of candy, folding the flap over and stapling to the bag.  Punch a black cardstock circle using FIskars Round 'n Round XL Squeeze Punches and fold over flap but do not adhere down yet.  Adhere smaller area of folded circle to orange cardstock and trim using Fiskars Pinking Paper Edgers. Add star stickers.  Punch a pumpkin using Fiskars Pick of the Patch Squeeze Punch and adhere to the larger side of the circle.  Adhere to the card.  Use a pen to write your message.
