Instructions:

Fold and burnish the card base.

Take the Basic Beige 5 1/4" x 2 3/4" piece of cardstock and emboss it with the Timber 3D embossing folder.

Adhere that to the front flap of the card.

Note: I always suggest using liquid glue to apply an embossed piece of card stock. It gives you a little wiggle room to position it correctly and fills in all the nooks and crannies that occur with dry embossing.

Take the piece of Crumb Cake cardstock and die-cut it using the tag from the bundle.

Place a scoreline on the right side of the tag, as shown in the picture.

Stamp the Grateful sentiment on the tag using Cajun Craze ink. You'll want to position it to the right side of the tag. You'll need room to add the leaves cluster on the left.

Fold the tag on the score line, and place it on the right-hand side of the DSP strip. Place a small amount of liquid glue on the piece that is folded to the back of the DSP strip. This will help keep it secure.

After giving that a few seconds to dry, apply adhesive to the back of the DSP strip and apply it to the right hand side of the card base (the inside of the card)

Take the 3" x 1 1/4" piece of Basic Beige cardstock and stamp 3 leaves, using Cajun Craze. Stamp the leaf outline at full strength, and stamp the leaf detail by stamping it off once so that it's a little lighter. Apply Wink of Stella to the insides of the leaves.

Die-cut the images with the leaf die-cut.

Using the gold foil, die-cut one sprig.

Take 2 of the leaves and glue the bottom of the leaves together to form a "V". A glue dot works best for this.

Place another glue dot on the back center of the 2 leaves and adhere the gold sprig.

Turn the cluster over and apply 3 mini dimensional across the back of the leaves and peel the backing off.

Place 3 fingers together and wrap the Linen Thread around them 3 times (there should be enough thread to do this). Gently remove the wrapped thread and pinch all the threads together in the middle.

Place the pinched middle portion of the thread on the middle dimensional and press so that all the threads adhere to it. You may need to manually move the threads around to make sure they are all stuck to the dimensional.

Turn the cluster over and place it on the left-hand side of the Crumb Cake tag.

Take the 3rd leaf and add it to the bottom right hand of the front narrow panel.

Add embellishments to the card front.

Stamp a few leaves on the front left corner of the envelope using Cajun Craze ink.

You are finished!
