Pals Paper Arts is hosting a "Halloween Inspiration Challenge" this week. I've been busy working on workshop cards and cards for my October Class. I completed this one yesterday and thought it would be appropriate. Some of my customers will be making this card at a workshop this month (can't tell you which workshop, sorry)!

This is called a "Stair-step card". They are always such fun to make:

This side view shows you the "steps":

Punches:

Ghosts: can you believe the ghost is created with the Owl Punch? Just take his little ole' body and turn it upside-down! Add two eyes!
Pumpkin: Cut 5 of the Large Oval punch and stack them! I sponged the eges first and added the branch from the Bird Punch!
Sentiment is from Wicked Cool and is stamped in Basic Black ink and cut out with the Large Oval Punch, stacked on a 1 3/8" Circle Punch and finally layered over the Scallop Circle Punch.
Moon: 1 3/8" Circle Punch, sponged edges in Pumpkin Pie ink.
Bats: Bat Punch
Card Background: Perfect Plum embossed with the Spider Web Impressions Folder.

UPDATE: Many of you emailed me for the card cutting and folding directions:

Cardstock size: 8.5 x 5.5, Score in half at 4 1/4"

Cut slit on the long side 2" in from the edge. The slit is cut starting at 1" from the short side edge all the way to 6 3/8" long towards to other short side. This leaves the 2 1/8" uncut on the other side.

Scores: Score on the widest cut side within where you made your slit. Score at 1", 2", 3 1/8", 4 1/4" (should already be scored from step 1), and 6 3/8"

Have fun!!
