Awesome 3D Tulip Funky Fun Fold

I somehow missed this card! This was my original Funky Fold card!! So, here it is!! We are doing this card in my classes this week!

This amazing layout is has a rather simple, surprising way to open! Thanks, once again, to my Minnesota friend, Terri Gaines for this fold and inspiration! It uses the interesting 3D Tulip Dies and the gorgeous Tulip Fields DSP! You could make this in so many fun color combinations!

Measurements:

Basic White: 5 1/2" x 7", 2 pcs @ 2 1/2" x 3 1/4", 1/4 sheet (card support)
Poppy Parade: 2 3/4" x 5 1/2", 2 pcs @ 2 3/4" x 3 1/2", scraps
Calypso Coral: 2 5/8" x 3 5/8" (optional), scrap (tulip)
Pear Pizzazz: scraps
Flowering Fields DSP (N): 1 1/4" x 5 1/2"

To Make This Card:

Score White base at 1 3/8" from each side. Crease well.
Run this folded card base through Timber 3D Embossing Folder. (I, then, added a quarter sheet to the back.)
Next, attach the DSP piece to the center of the larger Poppy Parade piece.
Now, place it inside the card base, so that the 2 outside flaps overlap, equally (about 1/8") onto the Poppy Parade piece. Attach this JUST to the LEFT side of your card. Set the card base aside.
Next, we'll work on the 2 other layered pieces. Take one White piece and attach to a Poppy Parade rectangle. (This will go inside.) Set this aside.
Run the other White piece through the 3D Timber Embossing Folder. Then attach this piece, if desired, to the Calypso Coral layer (if using this optional layer, you could cut the one Tulip piece from this as it will be sandwiched in between rectangles), and then to the other Poppy Parade rectangle. Set this aside, too.
Now, to make the 3D Tulip! You will need to cut 1 3-petal looking tulip from Poppy Parade as well as one single (there are 3 of this same petal in the Die Set). Then you will need a contrasting 2 petal piece.
Crease the 3 petal piece. Place a Dimensional on the 2 petal piece near the inside bottom. Curve this a little with your bone folder, if desired. Now attach this to the center of the 3 petals. Finish with the single petal on top. I used a Dimensional on this one, too.
Now, cut 2 different "leaves" and a "stem" from Pear Pizzazz. Place the "stem" directly onto the rectangle with the embossing. Add the "leaves" with a Dimensional and then add the flower as well, flat.
Center this piece on front of card. Attach to the RIGHT flap.
For placement of the inside piece, place behind the corresponding front piece and attach.
