Magnolia Lane Flap Fold Card OR Mini Book

Front View
Wanted to make one of these for many a year... and now I finally have... as the Magnolia Lane papers seemed so perfect for the job.... just a few scores and cuts... and a bit of sticking and there you have it...
Front View
Ready to end as a special card for a special someone... or to add photos as and where you please...
Closed View
Link to the french Tutorial I used here... with the diagram to be found here... although I think the originator was a "Giniew" back in June 2010... but whose IP address isn't available anymore...

And I have to laugh at all the names used for this fold over the years! Quad Fold, Tri Fold, Flap Fold, Flip Book, Accordion Pop Up to name but a few! So take your pick!

Though note that I used the same sized mats and panels on those central left and right sections... rather than the half panels most people seem to use...
Back view
Easier for me from a prepping point of view... and looks a bit neater ( if you get it right!) However it does mean you need to be much more careful ... sticking just half the panel first and then putting glue on the other half and closing the book back to lay flat....
Greetings care of Colorful Seasons... Papers Magnolia Lane
