All measurements are in inches
TOMBO= Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive
CS= Card Stock
Cutting and scoring:
Base:
Petal Pink CS:
---Cut 1 at 4-1/4 x 11
---Score in 1/2 parallel with the short side @ 5-1/2 and 2-3/4.
---Fold in 1/2 and burnish with bone folder

Layers:
Basic White:
--Cut 1 @ 3-3/8 x 3-5/8

--Punch a sentiment with punch of your choice (I used the Everyday Label Punch)
Shaded Spruce:

Stamping and Coloring:
Stamp image and sentiments of your choice using Memento Tuxedo Black. Clean with Simply Shammy
Stamp other Sentiment on Basic White and punch out with punch of your choice (as in above directions)
Coloring with Blends:
Sepia Look:
--Using darker a blend, color the outline and the lines and then use lighter blend of your choice to fill in and blend it into the darker. I used several of the Natural Tones Blends to do each article of clothing and or bedding.
Book: Lt and Dk Shaded Spruce
Mug: Lt Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green
Hair: Daffodil Delight Lt and Dk
Putting it all together:
Adhere the following with either TOMBO or Stampin' Seal+
--White Stamped/colored piece to the Shaded Spruce CS
--Then the bottom 1/2 of the shaded spruce CS (center it on the front when it is unfolded and open) so it is only adhered to the bottom of the folded piece as shown in picture.
Adhere second sentiment with Stampin' Dimensionals to the inside of the Card Base so it holds the card front in an easel position. See picture
Adhere the larger Basic White CS to the back of the Card Base so you can stamp or write on it.
Stamp something on the outside of the envelope if you desire!
