Place your 12" side of your card base against the top fence of your Scor-Pal.  Score at 2", 4", 8" and 10".   

Insert your Scor-Mat into your Scor-Pal.  Align your 5 1/2" side of your card base with the top fence.  Line your ruler up with the 1 1/2" mark on the top fence and use your craft knife to cut a slit between the 2" and 10" score lines.   

Next, line your ruler up with the 4" mark on the top fence and use your craft knife to cut a second slit in your card base between the 2" and 10" score lines.

 

At the 2" score line, create a mountain fold for the top and bottom 1 1/2" sections. 

At the 4" score line, create a mountain fold in the center section and a valley fold for the top and bottom 1 1/2" sections.   

At the 8" score line, create a valley fold in the center section and a mountain fold for the top and bottom 1 1/2" sections.   

At the 10" score line, create a valley folds for the top and bottom 1 1/2" sections.  

 

Here is a view from the top of how your mountain and valley folds will look.  

For my first image panel, I used the Hampton Art set called Home Tweet Home.  (This amazing stamp set has 21 stamps in it!!) I stamped the bird cage and the chain images in Colorbox Archival Dye Ink in Wicked Black which I had stamped off once to get a nice gray color.  Then I stamped one of the bird images (there are six different birds in this set) in Colorbox Archival Dye Ink in Mudslide.  I used my water brush to water color the bird with Colorbox Archival Dye Ink in Mermaid. 

For my second image panel, I used the tree branch with leaves.  I stamped it in opposite directions with the Mudslide ink.  Again, I used my water brush to water color the leaves on the branches with Colorbox Archival Dye Ink in Putty.  Finally, I stamped this sentiment in Wicked Black ink.   

For my final image panel, I stamped a different tree branch in Mudslide ink and water colored the leaves with Putty ink.  Then I stamped a different bird image on the branch in Mudslide ink and water colored it with Mermaid ink.  Lastly, I stamped the sentiment up above in Wicked Black ink.

A final bit of embellishing with stamped chains, fussy cut tree branches and a loopy die cut finishes the card. 

 

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial.  Thanks for reading all the way through it!
