• (1) Basic White Rectangle for Sentiment: 3/4 x 2-3/4

NOTE: For the Ghost theme, use 10 Die Cut Ghosts, 1 Die Cut Boo from Tricks & Treats and 6 Die Cut Bats from Bag of Bones.

INSTRUCTIONS

Stamp the skeleton trunks and arms with the Bag of Bones Stamp Set coordinating stamps in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Stamp "No Bones About it..." greeting on the Basic White rectangle piece in black also. Stamp "Happy Halloween" also in black on the inside panel, center. Set aside. 

Take the 2-1/2 x 4" size Deckled Rectangle and cut the center out of the card front. Die cut your frame next using the 3 x 4-3/8" nested inside 3-3/4 x 5 Deckled Rectangle Dies on a piece Basic Black for the skeleton card or Pumpkin Pie Cardstock for the Ghost card.

With your Take Your Pick Tool use the pointed side to poke holes into the shoulder joint of the arm and the trunk. Feed the brad through to connect the pieces so the arm is interactive, Repeat for all skeletons right and left. I folded my brads inward. I recommend adhering them with tape to keep them from moving.

Place Tear and Tape adhesive on the pelvis of each skeleton and then glue behind the 4 corners of the die cut deckled rectangle frame. Position arms where desired.

Place foam adhesive strips around the back of deckled frame and then adhere to card.

Place candy (I recommend something flat-ish) inside the clear envelope with the flap seal on the end with candy.

Place adhesive (I used tear and tape) on back of card insert. Fold the clear envelope so half is tucked in back, add more adhesive to it and then add to inside of card so the candy is center in the window of the card.

I hope you enjoyed today's project!

Happy crafting!
