I made this style of card months ago with the Hippest Hippos (metric version) and many people have asked me for a tutorial in inches - so here it is, a little simplified.  Use the original video to help.

You will need:

Base card 2 pieces of 8 x 4, 
3 squares basic white approximately 4 1/2", scraps to stamp, mats for the back to write your greeting
DSP 4 pieces of 1 3/4 x 3 3/4" 
Stampin' blends or watercolour pencils

stylish shapes dies 

cut a cloud shape freehand form waste card to use as a stencil

Tahitian tide stamp pad

memento black ink

ink brush

all purpose wet glue - or adhesive of choice

mini dimensionals

Instructions:

1. Score both pieces of base card at 2, 4, and 6 inches. Turn the card through 90 degrees and lightly mark the short side at the top and bottom halfway  at 2". 
2. Cut from this centre pencil mark to first fold, top and bottom on both edges of each piece of base card. You can use 1 waste triangle to stamp sentiment, rest is scrap.
3. Burnish the fold lines - Mountain, valley, mountain.
4. Using the largest square die from stylish shapes, cut 3 times from basic white pieces
5. From a scrap piece of card, cut a cloud shape to use as a stencil and gently brush across all 3 squares placed as diamonds using tahitian tide ink to form cloudy background.
6. Adhere DSP to 4 rectangles of base card
7. Lay both base sheets side-by-side and the end pieces should form a diamond shape. Adhere one of the squares over the triangles to form a centre diamond shape and keep both base sheets together. Take care to line up all the edges.
8. Adhere the other 2 diamonds to each end using the photo/video to help placement.
9. Stamp 3 owls and colour as desired
10. Stamp and die cut sentiment using stylish shapes 
11. Add to diamond using mini dimensionals
12. Adhere basic white to back of card if wished, for place to write own greeting and sign the card.
