Here's a 3D card, inspired by the CASology challenge to use white on your card, and by Tracey McNeely's idea to make a sympathy card (I always struggle with those, even more than "guy cards"!)
To get the layered hills, I flipped the die cut for the layer in front and cut off the house. Since I wanted to add texture to the hill in the front layer, but not the trees, I just die cut another hill and this time cut the trees and the house off. It didn't line up exactly so I was going to do another one, but then I ended up liking how it was a little off. More dimension : )
For the middle layer, I just cut it a little longer, folded tabs on each side, and glued it to the sides. If you'd like to make one of these, I'd highly recommend to glue it when the card is flat, and then open it up. That way you know for sure it will fold properly and won't have any strange lumps from things not lining up exactly.
Here it is folded flat for mailing in an envelope.
