Flower & Field Tri Fold Shutter Card

I was inspired to create this card after viewing THIS YouTube video.  I have listed my measurements below.  I did find an error in one measurement stated in the video.

This card is not for the faint at heart.  I, preferring continuity of the pattern paper, made this difficult to make.  At least it was a free Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper because of my mistakes that ended up in File #13.  You DEFINITELY need to make up a sample before attempting this.
