Instructions:

1. Cut an 8 ½ “ x 5 ½” (or 4 ¼” x 11”) piece of Cinnamon Cider cardstock. Score in the center  at 4 ¼” or (5 ½”). Fold in half to form a card base. Burnish crease using a Bone Folder.

2. Cut another piece of Cinnamon Cider cardstock at ¾” x 5 ½” and fold at the center.  Add Tomow adhesive to one side and adhere to the center of the card on the back panel.  This piece creates the fancy fold arm.

3. Cut the center panel of Very Vanilla cardstock at 5 ¼” x 4”.  Stamp the tree with Cinnamon Cider and the tree top with Mossy Meadow ink along the inside edge of the panel.  Then stamp the sentiment with the Mossy Meadow ink as well.  Adhere to the center with adhesive.

4. Cut the front panel of Very Vanilla cardstock at 5 ¼“ x 4” and die-cut with the third largest Stitched Rectangle Die.  Then stamp four trees and tree tops repeating the colors from the inside panel.

5. Now add more overlapping tree tops to the edges, and then go back and stamp in the tree trunks.  Adhere this panel to the front of your card.

6. Now create the front embellishment and sentiment tag. 

   1. Die-cut the tree trunk from a scrap of Cinnamon Cider cardstock.

   2. Die-cut the bird from a scrap of Cajun Craze cardstock.

   3. Stamp the tree top with Mossy Meadow onto a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock.  Then die-cut that as well.

   4. Die-cut a sentiment tag from Very Vanilla cardstock with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  Then stamp your sentiment with the Mossy Meadow ink.

7. Now add the sentiment tag with dimensionals along the folded  Cinnamon Cider flap.

8. Then build the die-cut tree on the end.  I used a snipped edge of the dimensionals sheet to adhere the trunk.  And mini dimensionals to add the tree top and bird.
