Default Help! What is this fun fold called?

After an hour on Pinterest, I give up. I do not know what this fun fold is called and I want to try to make a few cards in this style. Can you identify the fun fold by my rather poor description?

The base is folded in half but the top is then folded back on itself so there are two folds in the base. Then the front is cut at an angle so that when the card is closed, the front is three levels and the front two are angled at the top. The first is the shortest, the second is a bit taller, and then you can see the back (4.25" x 5/5")

I can't even find a picture of this card and I also am not good at descriptions. If you can help, I am grateful!

After an hour, I gave up. Very discouraging. I wish I knew a tag I could use besides fun fold

It sounds like the concertina fold:

Is it anything like the ones for this challenge? I rather doubt it because it sounds as if the folds don't fully layer over each other, but it's all I can come up with from your description: TLC940 Slanted Trifold 2/27/23 by ruby-heartedmom at Splitcoaststampers

Ah. Now I'm thinking. It's a top fold? Give me a few minutes....

This still isn't the one that's niggling at the back of my mind, but it's another possibility: Double Gate Fold Card Tutorials at Splitcoaststampers

I wonder whether it could be a CORNER FLIP card? There is a SCS tutorial, here is a good example from the technique gallery Cut Out to be Friends! by TexasGrammy at Splitcoaststampers

After more pouring over Pinterest, I found the card called a "Diagonal Z-fold Card" Although you all have showed me even more ideas I am interested in! Thank you for all your help!
