Instructions:

1.    Sore and fold card base at 4 ¼” on the long side  

2.    Glue the background DSP onto the Early Espresso card stock and glue this piece to the card front

3.    Die cut tree of the largest labels from the Seasonal Labels dies, 2 in Early Espresso card stock and 1 in Basic White card stock

4.    Stamp the Squirrel outline with Early Espresso ink and then the filler image with Cinnamon Cider ink. For the nut top, use the Soft Suede ink and stamp on a scratch paper and then on to the stamped image. This will give you a lighter color. For the nut bottom, do exactly the same but with Sahara Sand ink.

7.    Glue this label onto the front of the card using Stampin’ Seal

8.    Cut out the edge of the Pumpkin Pie card stock using the Scalloped Contour dies, glue the DSP (woodgrain pattern) in the middle of the Pumpkin Pie card stock. Glue this piece onto the card front.

9.    Stamp the sentiment in Early Espresso ink onto the Bumblebee card stock and cut the ends using the Tailored Tag Punch.

10. Glue the sentiment using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
