2. Basic White Cardstock: cut 1 @ 4" x 5 1/4; cut 1 @ 4" x 4 1/4"; cut 1 @ 4" x 3 1/4"; cut 1 @ 4" x 2 1/4".
3. Designer Series Paper: cut 1 @ 3 3/4" x 4"; cut 1 @ 3 3/4" x 3"; cut 1 @ 3 3/4" x 2"; cut 1 @ 3 3/4" x 1 1/2".
Instructions:
1. Fold all pieces on score lines and burnish with a bone folder. The 3/4" score line is a mountain fold and the 1 1/2" score line is a valley fold.
2. Adhere 2 pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive to the back of the 4 1/2" piece of cardstock right next to the fold. Remove the backing from the Tear & Tape and adhere this piece to the 3/4" fold on the 5 1/2" piece of Pecan Pie Cardstock making sure that the bottom edges of these pieces are lined up.
3. Adhere 2 pieces of Tear & Tape Adhesive to the back of the 3 1/2" piece of cardstock right next to the fold. Remove the backing from the Tear & Tape and adhere this piece to the 3/4" fold on the 4 1/2" piece of Pecan Pie Cardstock making sure that the bottom edges of these pieces are lined up. These pieces form the cardbase, set them aside for now.
4. With Multipurpose Glue or Stampin' Seal adhere the DSP to the Basic White Cardstock that is 1/4" larger with the exception of the 1 /2" x 3 3/4" piece of DSP - this piece is for the top of the Basic White CS that is 5 1/4" x 4" thus leaving room at the bottom of this piece to write or stamp your greeting.
5. With Multipurpose Glue or Stampin' Seal adhere the Basic White/DSP matts to the Pecan Pie cardbase pieces that are size appropriate.
6. If you so desire, with your paper snips trim the top edge of the 3/4" fold on an angle, I think this adds a bit of dimension to the cardbase.
7. Decorate your card with the bears and tree. Adhere the large bear with Stampin' Dimensionals. Adhere the small bear and the tree with Multipurpose Liquid Glue so that they appear to be peeking over the second and third layers of the card base.
