1. The base of the card is Berry Burst cardstock cut at 4-1/4” x 5-1/2”.
2. The second layer is from the Zinnia DSP cut at 4” x 5-1/4” and adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
3. The third layer is a strip of Berry Burst cardstock cut at 1” x 4-1/4” and adhered with Tear and Tape only at the ends. Adhere it leaving about an inch at the bottom of the card.
4. The waterfall mechanism is Berry Burst cardstock cut at 2” x 8-1/2” and scored on the long side at 2-1/2”, 3”, 3-1/2” and 4”. Use the Bone Folder to burnish each scored line.
5. At the bottom of the mechanism (the longest part), you will use the Season’s Greetings Die (largest) to create the decorative edge with a hole for the ribbon, but you only use the end part by putting a plate over just it and not take it all the way through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine. You can add your ribbon through the hole and tie a knot and cut off the long ends if needed.
6. Cut four Berry Burst CS squares at 2-1/2” x 2-1/2” and four Basic White CS squares at 2-1/4” x 2-1/4” with the Paper Trimmer.
7. Decorate the Basic White squares as shown. The top square has a little Basic White strip you stamp “A Little Hocus Pocus” with Berry Burst ink and attach it just at the top of the square with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Stamp the books at the bottom of this square with Tuxedo Black Memento and color with the Stampin’ Blends of choice.
8. Ink up the “Double Double Toil & Trouble” with Berry Burst ink before attaching the potion bottles.
9. Ink up the cat with Tuxedo Black Memento. The cat uses the Smoky Slate Blends. Color his eyes Granny Apple Green.
10. When you add the “Happy Halloween”, it is one stamp so you will have to ink “happy” first” and clean off the stamp and then do “Halloween” below. Attach the broom handle to the broom being careful not to add to much Multipurpose Glue. Attach at an angle. Trim of the broom handle and the broom with Paper Snips.
11. When finished, you may attach to the Berry Burst squares with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
12. Attach the Berry Burst squares to each of the rectangles in the waterfall mechanism but make sure you don’t adhere over the scored lines but just barely below them. Be sure they are lined up on the sides and just add Multipurpose Glue or Tear and Tape on each rectangle to attach them.
13. Insert the mechanism under the 1” x 4-1/4” so that the ribbon end is under the strips and just barely above the bottom of the card. Apply glue only on the middle of the 1-1/4” x 4-1/4” Berry Burst strip and adhere the Happy Halloween square with the broom to the middle of this strip only. This is where the mechanism will be held in place so make sure it is straight in the middle of the card.
