Card left-to-right, right-to-left

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows of, has seen, or heard of a folded greeting card which you can open from right to left (like a normal greeting card), be able to close it, then open it from left to right (like an opposite greeting card), if that makes any sense.

Have no idea if it's even possible and if so, there's probably some cool paper trickery/magic involved but I would really really really like to know!

Thanks in advance!

The "Magic Wallet" on this page might be what you are looking for:

It uses the same principle as the "Jacob's Ladder" and could be decorated in various ways to make it a greeting card.
Changing the paper proportions, it is also possible to make a portrait-style version.
