Instructions: *On white card stock, stamp the witch with the cauldron, halloween greetings, and the star flourish.  On red card stock, stamp the witch with the cauldron. Cut red witch into a rectangle as close to image as possible. Cut halloween greetings the same as witch ( of course it will be much smaller). Cut the flourish as close as possible to image. Round the corners of the rectangles.  
* Using your die cut machine, place the smallest star in top corner of the red witch and cut out. ( a star punch may also work). Take a small piece of white card stock and cut another star, we will use the area around the cut. Adhere the white cut out to back of the red witches star, making sure that the white is showing through just a bit. Then cut a small piece of black and back the star.  Cut two strips of black card stock to
2 1/4"x4 3/4" and cut two stars on the sides of each strip.
* Adhere orange ribbon to center of the black strips. Adhere the black strips to the gate card front so that the stars are toward the folds.
* Mat the red witch with the reverse side of jungle paper so that about an 1/4" border is created.  Cut out the cauldron and face of the white witch and using the Xyron make stickers of them. Place the cauldron and face on the red witch in the appropriate places. Now adhere the red witch to the gate card only on one side of gate about half way. Note: the witch should be in the middle of card front.

* Mat the halloween greetings with red, then with pattern paper, and with black. Be sure to round the corners. Set this aside.
*Cut pattern paper to 4 1/2"x4 1/2" square and round corners. Adhere to center of inside of the card. Cut red to 4"x4" and round corners. Adhere to pattern paper off centered or crooked. Adhere flourish and the greetings to upper area of red.
