 Instructions:

 1.    Fold the Early Espresso cardstock to create the card back.

2.    Adhere together the DSP and the Darling Duckling cardstock and adhere to the card front.

3.    Die cut the large leaf from the Pecan Pie cardstock.  Spritz it with some water or alcohol and scrunch the leaf into a small ball.  Carefully open the leaf and then slowly pull apart the layers of cardstock.  Using the inside of the piece (it will look and feel like suede), lightly tap the Crumb Cake ink pad over the top to highlight the creases in the leaf.  Adhere this to the front of the card.

4.    Stamp the outline of the squirrel with Early Espresso.  Stamp the inside of the squirrel with Crumb Cake and punch it out.

5.    Stamp the small acorn on Pecan Pie with Early Espresso and punch out.

6.    Stamp greeting with the More Messages stamp using Early Espresso, die cut with the More Messages die. 

7.    Adhere the Weave Trim to the front.  Twist the linen thread behind the squirrel and adhere it to the front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

8.    Adhere the acorn and greeting.

9.    Add some Streaked Dots.

10. Stamp the inside and envelope to match.
