Then take the Arch die measuring: 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" and lay it over the center of the card base with the top slightly above top fold to prevent it from cutting out a solid arch. 
  • Die Cut White solid arch measuring: 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" to create a finished looking shaped card base. Before attaching to top of card base, emboss using Bark 3D Embossing Folder (E3D-116).

  • Stamp "from our neck of the woods" sentiment using Woodland Wildlife Stamp & Die Bundle (BD-0915) with Black ink on Kraft card stock. Trim into a sentiment strip measuring: 2 1/2" x 3/8".
