2.    Use the Stamparatus  and Cinnamon Cider ink to stamp the cabin image onto the 3 ½” x 4” piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock  (you may need to stamp twice to get the desired depth of color)  Fussy cut around the image.

3.    Place the stamped image into the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing folder and use the Stampin’, Cut and Emboss machine to emboss the image.

4.    Use scissors, a bone folder or your fingernail to rough up the edges of the image and then adhere the image to the card front, leaving room for the sentiment on the upper right side of the card front. Place a copper Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dot in the top center of the image as if it were holding the image to the cork board.

5.    Use Early Espresso ink to stamp the sentiment onto the scarp of Crumb Cake cardstock.  Use scissors to cut around the sentiment and then cut the sentiment into two pieces.  Adhere the two pieces onto the upper right side of the card front.

6.    Adhere the ¾” x 5 ¼” piece of Cork cardstock to the bottom of the 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.  Use Cinnamon Cider ink to stamp the sentiment directly above the strip of Cork.  Use the Cinnamon Cider to stamp the small eagle image to the right of the sentiment stamping off once to make the eagle a little lighter than the sentiment.  Adhere this whole piece to the inside of the card.
