Instructions:
1. Fold the Sahara Sand card base in half and use a bone folder to flatten the fold. Set aside.
2. Die cut a cloud template from a scrap of card stock using the cloud-shaped die in the Basic Borders Dies. Use a blending brush and Balmy Blue ink to create clouds on one of the 4” x 5 ¼” pieces of Basic White.
3. Use the rounded edge border piece from the Basic Borders Dies to create grassy hill-like pieces from the swirly green Rustic Harvest DSP piece. Adhere these to the lower edge of the cloud piece.
4. Stamp a mushroom house on a scrap of Sahara Sand card stock and die-cut shape. Apply color with Stampin’ Blends: Dark Papaya to the mushroom top, Dark Petal Pink to the underside of the top, and Crumb Cake (dark and light) to the window trim and door. Apply Fine Tip Glue to the window panes and the doorknob and allow to dry.
5. Stamp Happy Birthday (from the Peaceful Moments stamp set) on a scrap of Basic White with Black ink. Die cut the shape using the Painted Labels sentiment die.
6. Die cut a gnome from the Storybook Gnomes DSP.
7. Adhere cloud piece to the center of the card front. Adhere the mushroom house, gnome, and sentiment using dimensionals. Add adhesive-backed gems.
8. Stamp the remaining piece of Basic White card stock as desired and adhere to the inside of the card.
