Flip-Down Stack card

I came across this in a UK magazine about three years ago, judging by the examples in my gallery. As I couldn't find the stack I had saved for future reference I set out to recreate it working from the cards in my gallery.

Thank you so much for sharing your brilliant tutorial! Off I go to attempt to recreate your fabulous card... :)

Thanks for sharing the tutorial Sabrina. Can't wait to give this a try.

Thanks Sabrina! That's really neat!

THIS REMINDS ME OF A JACOB'S LADDER.

I am trying this card, and am stuck at the part where I attach the 4th panel. It just doesn't look right. Is there a video for this tutoriaL????

HELP! I'm stuck at the part where I attach the 4th panel. It just doesn't look right. Is there a video for this tutorial????

Sorry - different time zone, so only seeing this now.
And sorry again, I don't have a video.
You're talking about the 4th panel, the one which shows at the front when the card is closed, yes?
It might have been easier to visualise if I'd rotated the photos so that they were in the same orientation as real life, but it took up too much space.
Looking from top to bottom it should look like the back of a front panel with tape and ribbon, no extra backing for the first, top, panel.
Next (centre) panel should have the tab attached at the bottom, so it extends out a little over the third (bottom) panel, a snap on the tab if you're using that for your closure, and then the inside image.
Bottom panel just has plain backing. If you look at the photo of the stack opened out, you can see the way the tab shows between the middle and bottom panels.
I'm afraid I'm out all day today and not likely to be online, but tomorrow is a holiday day here, so if you're still having any problems please do post here or PM me and I will get back to you. I know that the first time I made this I had to make a trial run first, which I kept as a reminder because it does look counter-intuitive when you're assembling it.
