Instructions:

1. Start by covering the front of your cards with Halloween themed craft paper. Adhere paper to card with glue stick.

2. Next, cut a 1" strip, the horizontal length of your card from the scrap paper. I used brown in the examples above. Adhere strip to card.

3. Stamp "Happy Halloween" on a light color cardstock such as cream or white using the brown ink pad. Cut out the stamped design.

4. Mat the stamped design using a complimentary color. I used yellow and burgundy in the examples above.

5. Adhere the matted "Happy Halloween" design to the right edge of the card, on top of the brown strip.

6. Add an extra touch by putting a stamped design on the seal of the envelope.
