To recreate the forever forest cards you will need:

4 card bases – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – I used Lost lagoon and Pretty Peacock
4 matting layers – 5⅜” by 3⅝” x 4 – I used Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock
Basic White panels – 5¼” by 3½” x 4
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 4 – for the inside
Scrap Basic White and Gold Foil

 

I stamped the row of trees from the Forever Forest stamp set across the 4 Basic White panels measuring 5¼” by 3½”. I stamped 2 in portrait and 2 in landscape using Pretty Peacock ink.

I glued the stamped panels to the matting layers. A piece of Gold Open Weave Ribbon was wrapped around each panel and secured the ribbon on the back with Sellotape and glued the panel to the card bases.

I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink onto each label. I punched 4 labels from Gold Foil, cut them across from side to side and glued each piece to the back of the stamped labels with a little showing at the top and bottom. The labels were added to the card fronts on Dimensionals.
