With your Basic Beige card stock cut your card base to 5 ½” x 7 ½” and score at 4 ¼”, 5 ¼”, 6 ¼” and 7 ¼” and fold your scored pieces in to form your tower. Cut another piece to 3 ¼” x 4 ½” and score at 3 ¼” and 4 ¼”. Cut a piece for the back of your card to 3” x 4 ¼”. From Mossy Meadow card stock cut a piece to 3 ¼” x 4 ½”. From your Painterly Pear designer series paper find the Mossy Meadow green piece and a piece to 4” x 5 ¼”, one to ¾” x 3” and three pieces to ¾” x 5 ¼”. Then find the piece with the Basic Beige background and the yellow and orange pears. Cut a piece of that to 3” x 3” and another for the back to 4” x 5 ¼”.
Let’s assemble the pieces by starting with the 4” x 5 ¼” Mossy Meadow designer series paper to the back of your card base. Then adhere each of the ¾” x 5 ¼” pieces to the back scored section of your card base. Then put adhesive on the ¼” part and fold it in and then fold your other scored sections in half (2 x 2) and then adhere down to the back of the card base which will then fold up into your tower.
Now take the other piece of Basic Beige and fold back the scored pieces. Adhere the pear paper to the top of the large section and the ¾” x 3” to the side section. Adhere the large section to the top of your box in the center of your card. Then put adhesive on the ¼” section and stick down.
Grab your Perfectly Pear stamp set and your Black Momento ink and stamp the outline of the pear and the an outline of the leaves (separately) on a spare piece of white card stock. The with the Darling Duckling ink stamp the inside of the pear and with the Mossy Meadow ink stamp the inside of the leaves.
Use the Perfectly Pear dies to cut out the pear and the leaves. Take a spare piece of Mossy Meadow card stock and cut out a label and then some spare Darling Ducking card stock to cut out the hash. Take the small tag die and stamp “Hello” on a piece of Basic Beige and then cut out with the die. Adhere the hash to the label and then place. Adhere the pear to the right side with pop dots and adhere the leaves to the pear. Then with pop dots adhere the “Hello” to the left side crossing slightly onto your pear. Adhere the label to the lower area of the card.
Take your pear designer series paper and adhere to the back of your card. Then adhere the Mossy Meadow piece. With your Mossy Meadow ink and the “A good friend is a gift” stamp from the Perfectly Pears stamp set and stamp in the upper center of the Basic Beige card stock. Adhere that to the Mossy Meadow piece.
You have now made an adorable card to send to a friend just to say hello.
