Supplies for this card:

Cardstock in black, dark blue and orange, black ink, double stick tape, paper trimmer with scoring blade, bone folder, acrylic blocks and stamps.

 

 
On a 4 3/4" x 6 1/2" piece of orange cardstock stamp the small web at the top.
Using the individual letters from the Everything Alphabet, place the letters p i n g on an acrylic block.  Make sure you place them so they stamp correctly!  Stamp this at the far right.  Then take just the p and stamp that in front.    
Stamp the hanging spider in place of the letter o so that he looks to be hanging off the web.  Finish by stamping D r with your letters and then add J u s t above.  
Finish the front by stamping i n at the bottom right and then Bristly at the bottom left.  Using double stick tape, affix the stamped front of the card to a 5" x 7" piece of black cardstock.  
Using an 11" x 7" piece of dark blue cardstock, score and fold a 3" piece on each side leaving a center piece that is 5" x 7".
Using the bone folder make crisp folds in an accordion fold.  
Open the cardstock so the panel on the left folds over into the center and the right panel is folded to the back so it doesn't get stamped on.  Stamp the Crescent moon on the upper left and stamp the flying bats multiple times to cover the top two thirds of the card.
Using the Everything Alphabet, arrange your letters again so the stamp correctly spelling out to wish you a.  Stamp the Flying Witch on the lower left.
On a piece of 5" x 7" orange cardstock stamp Happy Halloween in the center and use the Large Spider to edge the card all the way around.
Folding over that left flap into center of the card, use double stick tape on the non-stamped side and then affix your front onto it.
Flip the card over and use double stick tape to affix the Happy Halloween panel on.  For a better idea of how the card fits together just refer to the next three images below.
