HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS I USED TO MAKE THIS PROJECT
In this tutorial the name Seal is referring to the use of the Stampin' Seal Adhesive

Cut a piece of Soft Suede 11" by 4¼” (Score at 5½”).
Cut down the scoreline 2".
Rotate 90⁰ and cut off that 2" piece to form the cardbase.

Cut a piece of Basic White 5¼” x 4" and 5¼” x 2⅛"
Place your Basic White 5¼” x 4" in the Stamparatus in the lower left corner.
Place the tree stamp on the Basic White piece near the left edge centered from top to bottom, then close the plate to pick up the stamp.
Ink the stamp with Memento Black ink, then stamp the image, apply a little extra pressure, being so close to the edge. If necessary ink and stamp again.
Now place the 5¼” x 2⅛"piece in the Stamparatus again in the lower left corner.
Again stamp the image, this time it is just stamping the lower part of the tree. By using the Stamparatus, the image should match when closed.
Using the Memento Black ink, stamp the grass pads for the two hedgehogs with the small grass stamp and color using the Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends.
Color both tree pieces using the the following Stampin' Blends; Light Polished Pink for the flowers, Dark Granny Apple Green for the leaves & grass and Light Soft Suede for the tree and branches. Then I used my Glitter pen in the center of all the flowers.
Using some scrap pieces of Basic White, stamp the bird, the butterfly, small hedgehogs, 2 large hedgehogs and 2 mushrooms using Memento Black Ink.
Using the Stampin' Blends, color as follows:
Bird - Light Polished Pink, Light and Dark Balmy Blue, Light So Saffron, Light Pumpkin Pie and my Glitter Pen, then fuzzy cut.
Butterfly - Light Polished Pink, Dark So Saffron and my Glitter Pen, then fuzzy cut.
Mushrooms - Light Polished Pink, Light Soft Suede, Dark Granny Apple Green and my Glitter Pen, then fuzzy cut.
Hedgehogs - Light Soft Suede, Ivory and my glitter pen, then I punched the large Hedgehog, the other large hedgehog hair only with the Hedgehog Builder punch and fuzzy cut the small hedgehog.
On the 5¼” x 4" piece, using Memento Black Ink, stamp the hedgehog, grass and two mushrooms.
Color as above, but this time I used I used Ivory to color the Mushroom stems.
Lay you Soft Suede Cardbase open with the small tab on the left.
Seal the 5¼” x 4" basic white piece to the right panel.
Close the small tab.
Seal the 5¼” x 2⅛" to the top of the tab lining the tree so it looks like a sheet of 5¼” x 4".
Using Polished Pink Ink, stamp the greeting centered on the inside 5¼” x 4" piece.
Now we are ready to assemble the front panel of the card.
Add Dimensionals on all the punch and cut out remaining pieces and adhere to the front panel.
To put the final touches on the card, add three 2021-2026 In Color Jewels to the card.
