  • Pecan Pie Card Stock: 5 ½” x 4 ¼”, plus scraps for mountains
  • Very Vanilla Card Stock: 2” x 2 ½” for stamping and 4” x 5 ¼” for back panel to write on.
  • DSP: 3” x 4 ¼”

 Instructions:

  1. On the full panel end of the Old Olive card stock (5 ½” x 4 ¼” section), die cut the 4th largest arch die (4 ¼” x 3”) from the center to create a window. Use the same die to cut the shape from the Designer Series Paper. 
  2. Using the same die AND the 2nd largest arch (3 ?” x 4 ?”), cut an arch “frame” from Pecan Pie card stock and adhere it to the front of the card with liquid glue. Tip: Use the Pecan Pie card stock from the small arch leftover from the frame for the torn mountains!
  3. Stamp trees using Old Olive ink onto the Sky DSP arch, then stamp sentiment in Basic Gray at the top. 
  4. Rip two pieces of Pecan Pie card stock and layer on bottom of tree/sky arch. 
  5. Stamp camper van onto Vanilla card stock using Pecan Pie ink, then color with Stampin’ Blends and die cut. Optional: Die cut a Basic Gray door for the camper, or add sequins to the tires. Attach camper to tree/sky arch with dimensionals. 
  6. Accordion fold all the score lines, so each side of the card has a gusset going to the inside of the frame. 
  7. Adhere the arch scene through the front of the frame to the inside back of the card, then attach the 1/2” end of the card inside the front panel using Tear & Tape. Card should smash flat when inserted into an envelope. 
  8. Attach vanilla card stock to back of card for writing.
