I have made this same Interlocking Gate Fold card previously. Today is simply using different DSP and a different stamp set. This version is using the Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper along with the In Symmetry stamp set.
Here is a view of how it opens.
Fun Fold
The Interlocking Gate Fold, that is what I call it, is a fun and easy card to make. The only difficulty is aligning the bars across the front to be equal distance apart. The top and bottom bars are connected by one that is hidden. The flower is attached to the hidden bar. These two are attached to the card on the left side. The center bar is by itself and is attached on the right side.
Products
The In Symmetry stamp set and the Sweet Symmetry Designer Series paper are two of the four products in the Sweet Symmetry Suite of products. I did not use the punch which Bundles with the stamp set, or the matching Flirty Flamingo ribbon.
To make the flower, I stamped the large flower stamp twice. It is a photopolymer stamp set. I inked and stamped onto a square of Basic White cardstock. The first time I had the flower in the straight up, normal position. For the second stamping, I re-inked and turned it upside down. Because it is photopolymer, I could see pretty clearly the bottom of the first stamping. So lining them up was pretty simple. Then all I needed were my handy Paper Snips to fussy cut the flower out. The final touch was adding a Blue Adhesive Gem to the center of the flower.
