Open the center flap, and you find the decorative paper panel.  You could also add a sentiment or another image here that would be hidden under the front flap.

Here it is fully open.  The mail card base, shown here in Island Indigo, is a 11" x 4-1/4" piece of card stock that folds to standard 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" standard size.  The Lucky Limeade piece is 8" x 3-1/4" scored at 4" and adhered to the center of the card base. 

You can vary which side you open the front fold, like I did in my second card…

I love this easy-to make fancy fold!  Fun, fun, fun! 

Bright blossoms flip flap 7Card Details: The Summer Smooches DSP, with it's colorful round flowers and Real Red polka dot patterns, really creates the mood for these cards. 

I used Markers to color directly on the Bright Blossom stamps to add two different circle-flower vase images.  Then I used one of the Designer Frames Textured Impressions Folders to add a pretty frame around the images.  The frames are cut out free-hand, then popped up with Dimensionals. 

Next, I added some of the matiching Daffodil Delight Seam Binding, either by tying in a double-knot (card #1), or thread-pull scrunching (card #2). 

For the sentiments, my favorite is the little Jewely Tags with coordinating images from Tiny Tags that I added to card #1 with some White Baker's Twine.  But the other card also uses one of the same stamps and punch, this time double–punched to form a soft-cornered, mini-rectangle.  Also cute!
