I love free shipping, don't you? And it's coming at a great time. Cardstock is going up by 20% on May 6th, so it's a great time to stock up on your favorite colors. Also don't forget to shop the last chance list. There is always something there! Here is the link to my online store:

In case you missed the rewards update, you'll want to know this. When you opt in, you will be receiving (and can collect) a 10% credit to be used on a future order. Order must be $20.00 or above. For example, if you place a $75.00 purchase during free shipping, you will receive a $7.50 discount off of the future order of your choice for up to a year from the original purchase. Now that's the way to save money!

Stamps, Ink and Dies:

Peek a Boo Forest stamp and die bundle
Stampin' Blends: Gray Granite, Smoky Slate, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie

Other:

Multipurpose Liquid Glue
Blending Brushes
Bone Folder

Instructions

Fold the Basic Black piece accordion style (some may call this mountain/valley style). Burnish the folds well.
When placing the folded cardstock on the table, the largest "mountain" goes in the back. Glue the DSP to the front-facing sides of the corresponding Basic Black sections.
Die cut the Granny Apple Green strips in half with the grass die. Glue the grass along the bottoms of the DSP. To make them go all the way across, cut a piece from the fourth grass strip.
Stamp the tree trunks onto the white squares. Be sure to orient the squares as diamonds when stamping. Use both trunk stamps so that the trunk fills the diamond from top to bottom. Color the tree trunks using Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends. Lightly color the background with Crumb Cake ink using Blending Brushes.
Die cut only the hole from the tree trunks. Do not cut the whole tree out.
Stamp the animals on Basic White scraps. Leave extra space between the animals to accommodate the dies. Color and die cut the animals.
Put one animal into each tree trunk hole. Then, glue these to the black diamonds.
Start with the largest diamond. Glue it to the tallest "mountain", centering it on the card. The points of the diamond line up with the edge of the paper. Only put glue on the bottom of the diamond.
Next glue the middle-sized diamond to the medium "mountain" centering it over the large diamond. Only the very bottom of the diamond needs glue.
Do the same thing with the small diamond.
Decorate the Basic White rectangle with a sentiment and glue it to the back of the card.
