Autumn Crafts - Card Crafts - Halloween - Halloween Invitation with Jack o’ Lanterns
Do you have a Halloween party coming up and no invitations for your guests? Instead of buying some, why not start a little earlier and make your own. Not only does it save money, but has such a personal touch that no store bought card can ever acquire.

Instructions:
1. Cut the natural paper a bit smaller than the card and glue it on with stick glue.
2. Tear a piece of the green fiber paper and glue this onto the natural paper.
3. Prepare a bow with the raffia and lay aside.
4. Punch 2 leaves out on orange cardboard and lay these also aside.
5. Print the word “invitation” out on the vellum and cut this piece out with the zick-zack scissors so that it will fit within the natural paper. Use the hole puncher and eyelets to secure this onto the card.
6. Remove the backing from a piece of the self-sticking foil. Stick it on the back of the material under the pumpkins. Cut the pumpkins exactly out.
7. Use the 3-D Pads to stick the pumpkins onto the card.
8. Glue the bow onto the top of the card using the tacky glue. On the bow’s streamers, glue the leaves on using tacky glue. Secure the bow and the leaves with paper clips until they are dry, if necessary.
