Flip Up & Flip Out with this Fancy Fold

You're going to flip out for this fun-fold card! Well, after you flip up, you'll flip out, because the card front flips up to reveal to panels that flip out. You could decorate each panel with images and greetings or just use some pretty patterned paper like I did. 

I used the retiring Varied Vases stamp set and the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper for this card. I'm so sad to see both of these go! I love the two-step flowers and vases of the stamp set and spring colors of the DSP are just gorgeous!
Picture
Start with a piece of 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock. (I used Calypso Coral.)

With the paper turned the long way, score at 5 1/2" so that you could fold your cardstock in half. 

With the paper turned the short way. score at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8". 
Following along the score lines, cut the upper two outer rectangles as shown on the diagram to the right. The cut out areas are shown in purple. 

Fold the sides of your card in towards the center. (They should touch in the middle. If they overlap, you can trim one side or let them overlap slightly.)

Fold the top down over these two flaps. (You may find that the tops of the flaps folding inward prevent the top of the card from folding down. If this is the case, trim the tops of the two side panels a little more until the top of the card can easily fold down.)
Picture
Now, decorate your card as you wish. For mine, I added a piece of Petal Pink cardstock cut to 5 1/4" x 4" and embossed with the retiring Country Floral 3D embossing folder. On top of this I added a piece of Petal Pink (3" x 4") mounted on Calypso Coral. The circles are cut with the Stitched Shape dies and the Layering Circle dies. 
Picture
I stamped the little yellow flowers directly on the Whisper White circle. The other flowers, leaves, vase, and shelf are stamped on pieces of the Bird Ballad DSP with black ink. I punched the flowers, leaves, and vase using the Vases Builder punch. (While the stamps are retiring, the punch will still be around next year!) Likewise, I stamped the shelf, but then I cut it out with my paper snips. All of these pieces are attached with Stampin' Dimensionals to make them pop off the card front.
The pieces for the interior flaps measure 2" x 5 1/4". I used DSP mounted on Petal Pink cardstock, but you could just use DSP directly on the card flaps. The interior of the card measures 5 1/4" x 4". I stamped this with a greeting and more flowers from the stamp set. For the flowers along the bottom of the interior, I used the two-step stamps from the stamp set. The tulips are Petal Pink and Calypso Coral with Old Olive leaves.

This is one of the best sets of instructions I have seen. Great job! I am a Demonstrator for Stampin Up also, just recently joined, I wish the Bird Ballad DSP was still available. You do beautiful work. Congrats!
