This is a fun and easy card fold. I saw it the first time, when Valerie Stangle uploaded her birthday card for Daven last year on SCS!
I posted a sample yesterday and will post more later today, when I the sun is out!

Supplies:

Step one:
Score your 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ at 5 1/2″.
Step two:
Score your 3″ x 7″ piece of cardstock at 3 1/2″.
Step three (optional) :
Adhere your patterned paper to your card base and card front.
You could also stamp both your card base and front.
Step four (optional):
Stamp the inside of your card flap.
Step five:
Stamp and decorate the inside of your smaller flap.
Step six:
Add tape to the back of the flap and adhere it so that the fold points to the right.

Step eight (optional):
If you would like to secure the flap a bit, add a tag, flower or another cutout with dimensional partly over the center flap.

I have made this design before. I really like your way of securing the flap though. I used ribbon on mine and it made it a little user confusing. LOL!!! Again, I have to mention how awesome that card turned out. I love everything about it!
