Today I made a tepee card with the contents of door #4. If you have never made a tepee card before it is a 3 sided card that fold flat for an envelope but folds into a tepee shape to stand up. This card is sixed to fit in a 5x7 envelope. There is a SVG and a template below for the card. Usually, the base is constructed by layering a 10x 5 paper and a 5 in square.
If you use the template, you will remove the bulk from layering the papers. There is also a template and SVG for the mat and layers. They are an arrow shape and can easily be traced. If you have a cutting machine like a Cameo or Cricut then download the SVG and let the machine do all the measuring for you.
