I've included two additional photos here so you can see how the card opens. The card base is 4.25" x 12" and scored at 5.5" and again at 11" creating an A2 size card with a 1" lip. I then cut a large scalloped circle from some SU Basic Black CS and cut it in half. I then attached that half to the 1" lip creating the top flap of the card. I stitched this polka dot DP to the SU Basic Black CS and adhered it to the front of the card and also added the coordinating herringbone DP to the top and bottom of the scalloped circle. I added a small magnet under the top flap to help keep the card closed.
This is how the card looks when it's fully opened. Pretty cool huh? A little extra effort but I really like the look.
