This card was inspired by Jan Brown a Stampin' Up! Demoonstrator from the UK. It's such a fun fold and not at all complicated to make. I used several FREE products that you can earn from SALE-A-BRATION: Lovely Lily Pad Stamp Set, Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper, Lily Pad Dies, and the Stone 3D Embossing Folder from the Power of Hope Bundle.

All measurements in inches.
Cut Pretty Peacock cardstock for
the card base 4-1/4 x 11, score at 5-1/2
Inside the card base adhere two 4
x 5-1/4 pieces of Highland Heather, one on each side
Cut 1-3/8 x 11 piece of Pretty
Peacock, score at 2-3/4, 5-1/2, 8-1/4 for the pop up mechanism. Fold
accordion style: valley, mountain, valley.
Put glue on the back side of the
first section the mechanism and adhere it on the inside of the card,
on the left side, lining it up with the edge of the Highland Heather
cardstock NOT the edge of the Pretty Peacock card base.
Put glue on the back side of the
4th section of the accordion piece (no glue on sections
two and three). Adhere it on the inside of the card, on the right
side, lining up with the edge the Heather layer NOT the edge of the
Peacock cardstock.
Because the edges of the pop up
mechanism are lined up with the Heather layer, your piece will not
lay flat when open, it will have a small raised “mountain” in
the center. This will make the inside pieces pop out when the card
is opened instead of collapsing in and laying flat.
Adhere four pieces of Pretty
Peacock cardstock cut 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 squares inside of the card on
the pop out mechanism. Make sure that you only place adhesive in the
center of the squares so the card does not get glued shut.
To line the squares, cut three
pieces of the DSP and one piece of Whisper White cardstock that
measure 2 x 2 inches. Stamp greeting at the bottom of the white
piece.
Diecut two lily detail pieces.
Glue the small one above the greeting and the larger on on top of
the DSP on the last panel.
On the front emboss peacock 4-1/8
x 5-3/8 cardstock, then adhere to card front.
To make the angled panel, first
lay a piece of the Lily Impressions DSP across the card base in the
angled position that you like. Then flip it over and trace the back
of the DSP so you will know where to cut. Then adhere the panel to a
piece of Highland Heather card stock – lining up the two straight
sides to create the “normal” mat edge. Use your Paper Trimmer to
cut off the excess card stock – eyeballing the mat size.
Stamp the lily pads in Mossy
Meadow ink on to DSP and die cut.
Stamp three lilies in Blackberry
Bliss ink on to DSP and die cut.
Diecut the two detailed flowers
and the lacy panel from Highland Heather.
Assemble as shown use Stampin'
Dimensionals for the flowers.
On the back, adhere a piece of 4 x
5-1/4 Whisper White that has been stamped with the sentiment. Adhere
a strip of DSP on the bottom.
