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.

Fold the scored lines to make a window for the DSP. Attach the Tear & Tape to the front panel of the card so that the window is 1/2" high on the right and the left.
Adhere one of the trucks to the front of the window.
When the card is close it does not cover the inside of the card. To give the card a full front, adhere the 4" x 5-1/2" piece of Boho Blue over the partial front. Be sure to only put adhesive on the partial front piece.
Adhere the second DSP panel to the front of the card.
Adhere the Basic White panel to the inside of the card front.
Stamp the greeting on the smallest Deckled Rectangle die (the DSP) piece.
To give it strength, adhere the smallest Basic White Deckled rectangle die to the DSP piece.
Attach greeting and the truck to the front of the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. The greeting is askew.
Color a piece of white Bakers Twine with the Light Lost Lagoon Stampn' Blend.
Tie twine in a bow and attach with a glue die.
Add three Adhesive Backed Snowflakes.
This card folds down to fit in a standard A2 envelope. Enjoy!
