The Instructions:

• Stamp two pick-up trucks, one in Night of Navy ink and one in Misty Moonlight ink. Color the steering wheels and tires with the black Stampin' Write marker. Color the center of the tires with Light Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends marker. 
• Punch out the truck.
• Stamp the Christmas tree outlines in black. Stamp them in with Mossy Meadow ink.
• Glue the trees in the back of the trucks.

• Look at the card with the 1/2" section on the right. Cut the third largest deckled rectangle out of the top portion of the adjoining window as shown. The next panel to the left is also 1/2". In the following panel to the left adhere the 3-1/4" x 4-3/4" piece of DSP.
• On the back side of the farthest 1/2" panel to the right, attach a piece of Tear & Tape.
