Easy Halloween Party Invitations

Keep your Halloween party guests in suspense with this bubbling cauldron invitation. To make, fold an 11x7-inch piece of gray cardstock and cut two cauldron shapes from black cardstock. Cut the rim only on one cauldron and discard the base piece. Adhere the base of the cauldron to the front of the card, and attach crafts foam dots to the rim piece of the cauldron, gluing it to the front of the card as shown. Punch about 15 small circles (1/8-, 1/2-, and 3/4-inch diameter) from paper, adhere pieces of crafts foam to the backs of a few, and adhere circles and buttons to the cauldron. Pull a cotton ball into pieces and fasten to the card. For the final touch, print "Something's brewing..." onto scrapbook paper, cut out the text, and attach it to the cauldron.
