 So to get started you want to use a 12x12 piece of crumb cake and cut it to 8x12. Now you want to put this piece on your Simply Scored Scoring tool on with the 12" side of the paper towards the top. Score at 2, 4, 8, and 10, scoring pretty heavy and a lite score on the 6".

 Now lightly  mark your crumb cake card stock on the 8" at the top at 5 1/2 and on the bottom 2 1/2. Now we need to cut on a diagonal from the 5 1/2 to the 2 1/2.

On the small end you want to lightly mark at 1 1/4

                                                     On the wide end lightly mark at 2 3/4

 Now you want hold the ruler parallel to the 12" length of the crumb cake card stock and lightly mark a dash on the 1st, middle and last score line. You will do this on both pieces you have cut. Make sure they are both facing the same direction and match. With one of the pieces you want to cut from the bottom up to the score lines that you just put a dash mark on. ONLY cut up to the dash and no further.

 On the next piece that has the same dash marks as the first you are going to cut down to the dash mark on the 1st, middle and last score line as shown below.

 Now you are going to slide them together, so they fit together like a puzzle piece. Where you cut should slide together to fit together as shown below. It opens like an accordion.

 Now you can set that a side and lets work on some flowers to attach. First I used the label collection to cut out the front piece to cover up slits on the paper. I used So Saffron with the 3rd smallest framelit.

 Now for the fun embossing part. I used White craft ink stampin pad to stamp the images from secret garden on the selected card stock of choice and then I put Whisper White embossing powder on the image and then heated it up with the heat tool. The image will go from dull to shiny when finished. It's like magic!!!!!!

 Stamp as many or as little at you like. Then you want to cut them out using the framelits from the secret garden bundle using the big shot as you did the label framelit.

 Time to assemble!!!! I placed the flowers on the card prior to gluing them down so I could get the placement just right. I used sticky strip to adhere the label framelit to the front of the card as it needs a little extra stick than the flowers. I adhered the flowers with snail adhesive.
