Witch Character Card Assembly

Whimsical and not-so-spooky witch card

with multiple details can serve as

a Halloween greeting, or as seasonal decor.

Following are the assembly steps to help

you create this unique, shaped card.

ASSEMBLY: Identify and cut the shapes,
shown here with numbers for identification
in the tutorial steps that follow.

STEP A: Identify #1 card building silhouette - onto 
which all the other shapes will be attached.
You can distinguish the difference 
between #1 and#2 Card Front 
because #1 is larger, including 
an offset margin all around, except 
the two shapes will have bottom edges lined up.

STEP B: Assemble dress #3 over

#1 Assembly Silhouette with

bottom edged lined up.

STEP C: Continue to add other clothing

parts, #4 lined up with bottom edges of

previous assembly. Position #5 so that 

lacing ends cover punch circles.

Position #6 left and right cape shapes

over the assembly so that lower and

side edges match the building silhouette.

Position #7 clasp so that the ends of the

arc are centered over left and right stars.

Then position the clasp assembly

partway down the “collar” portion

of the spikey cape tops.

STEP D: Position hair #9A & #9B over

head with top edges aligned, side spikey

shaped edges matched up. Position cheek

circles and mouth and attach.

Also layer eye base “see-thru” under

colored pupil/accent eye shapes. Position

assembled eyes in eye socket holes.

Position nostril #12 on #11 dimensional

nose and attach. Add the “wart” punch

circles on the lower left cheek, at right

chin edge, and two other places as desired.

STEP E:  Insert nose tab (#11) into face slot,

and glue in place to backside of head.

STEP F: Position the head unit over

the card front, centered, with spikey

hair, face sides lining up.

STEP G: Assemble the hat #15 unit by positioning
and attaching the hat brim at bottom (edges lined up)
and band right above it. Also attach star as desired.
NOTE that the hat perf line will be bent
when the card is completed, in order to allow
card to be fit into a 5x7 standard envelope.

STEP H: Position the hat (lower portion only)
over the card assembly so that brim side edges
and portion of hat shape line up, and attach.

STEP I: Prepare card back #16 by 

bending at perforation so that

card back face are bending

toward each other.

STEP J: Position card back #16

on backside of card front

assembly, and glue ONLY

the upper portion above perf

line to card front back.

STEP K: Layer broom straw back #18 with 

straw front #17 with top common edges lined up. 

STEP L: Position and attach #19 broomstick

handle over top of straw assembly  so

that bracket points line up.

Also add #20 bracket and #21 trim shapes.

STEP M: Position broomstick
assembly over the front of the card
as desired, and attach edges
that overlap card front and assembly.

Here is the completed card.

Witch Double Diamond Card

Complex folds on the card base 

(sections are joined to create 15x5 rectangle) 

bring the center diamond medallion forward 

as stage for slightly offset base square, 

three layered circles and witch silhouette. 

Accent shapes add color to side panels exposed 

when card is unfolded to act as its own display stand. 

When closed, card measures somewhat larger than 5x5.

Make your card an extra special gift by creating

this sized-to-fit box envelop, with enough depth

to accommodate the folds and built-up layers

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:
A main double diamond card base (2 panels joined)
B side accent rectangles  C mid triangle accents
D front accent square panel
E sawtooth circle  F lace edge circle
G plain circle  H witch silhouette

2. Prepare the main panel (side extension

already attached) by bending and fold creasing

the base on the perforation lines:

4 vertical lines as MOUNTAIN folds

4 diagonal lines as VALLEY folds

3. Attach the accent shapes, offset centered,
in the corresponding panels.

4. Fold the card into its double diamond configuration
by directing the upper and lower diamonds back
and inward as shown.

5. Position the center square over the middle
panel of the card, lining up center guide circle punches.
NOTE that the square accent is slightly larger
than the square panel of the card base.

6. Assembly the circle medallion assembly:

sawtooth circle bottom, lacy circle middle,

plain circle top, using center guide circles

to help with alignment.

NOTE: the sample uses foam squares between

the lacy circle and the sawtooth, and

between the sawtooth and the accent square

in the next stem, for extra dimension.

7. Position and attach the circle medallion assembly
onto the card front, matching center circle punches.
8. Position and attach the witch silhouette over the
medallion assembly (hiding circle punch hole).

Here is the completed card, with the side panels

extending back to provide a self-stand or easel.

If desired, the bottom point of the accent square

can be square cut off, to allow even more stable standing.
