Instructions:

1.  Using your Design Studio Software and Cricut machine, select the Marquee1 design twice and weld the two together.  Adjust the size of the welded image to make a card size 4¼" x 11 (card open).  Cut image onto the textured cardstock and fold in half.  

2.  Cut a Marqee1 design sized at 5" on the Ivory Cardstock using your Cricut.

3.  Punch the small tag out of ivory cardstock. 

4.  Use the Coffee Bean Brilliance Ink pad for this step. Stamp the tree image onto the ivory cut piece.  Stamp the owl and pumpkin onto scrap pieces of the ivory cardstock.  Stamp the saying and candy corn onto the small tag.  Color all the images using markers.   

5.  Cut out the owl and pumpkin and adhere the owl in the tree and the pumpkin over the pumpkin using dimensional dots. 

6.  Apply Burnt Umber ink around the edges of the card base, the ivory piece, and the tag using a sponge. 

7.  Punch a hole and insert eyelet at the top of the tag using the Crop-A-Dile tool.  Wrap the ribbon around the image piece and tie the tag onto the card as shown in photo. 

8.  Adhere the image to the card base.
