Variations
No Ribbon Closure
Add a smaller image slightly over your main image to keep the card shut (check the Joy Fold Card Tutorial for a sample of that closure).
Different Sizes
To change up the size, divide your card length by 6 and score at 1/6, 1/3, 2/3 and 5/6 of the cardstock length. It's easiest if you decide how big you want your panels to be. For example. Your panel width is 1 3/4". Your final paper length will have to be 1 3/4" x 6 = 10 1/2". You would have to score at 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 7" and 8 3/4".
Smaller Flaps
After scoring your panels, cut the outer panels a bit smaller to let the second panel peek through.

Your sample is beautiful. What a fun fold. So elegant yet so easy too. This is something I can do. Thank-you for sharing this.
Thank you for making, yet again, another wonderful video. I seem to learn much easier by seeing and hearing the directions. Your cards are always amazing...and this is no difference. And, your papers are always so straight, and it seems you do it with just a glance of your eyes! Practice I guess!

Thanks for the inspiration !
I looked for an other closing mechanism as you challenged us
Here is my card with a little twist :
- closed : http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2066002?&cat=500&ppuser=205884
- and open : http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2066003?&cat=500&ppuser=205884
greetings,

However, I have a Scor Pal and also the new Stampin' Up Simply Score, and find on both that the Stampin' Up 12 x 12 inch paper isn't actually 12 x 12 inches and when I score at 2, 4, 8 , and 10 inches, the first panel is not the same wideth as the last panel. So, how do you compensate for this? I've tried putting the paper evenly between the edges, however, that still doesn't work, so what am I doing wrong?
