A cousin just had twin boys, so here's my gatefold card using different colors of dp on each side. The dp is only attached (glued) at the edges of the base card - I scored the edges and added ribbon thru tiny punched holes. I had blue ribbon to match, but nothing in the shade of green that I wanted, so I made "tape ribbon":
Press a long strip of tape to c/s, making sure tape is longer than c/s.
Use bone folder or fingernail to press tape firmly to c/s in every direction.
Very quickly pull up one end of tape...a thin layer of c/s will pull away. Cut off any excess c/s from edges of tape.
Fold tape in thirds lengthwise, ie - fold each long edge to wrong side of c/s.
It's now ready to use in place of ribbon...stiff, but can be carefully tied...and it matches!
