1. Open the layer style window for the "Layer 2" and simply drag and drop the Gradient Overlay on the screen to the left.
2. Duplicate the "Layer 2" and open the layer style window. Drag and drop the Gradient Overlay on the screen to the right.
If you want horizontal folded paper you have to duplicate the "Layer 1" and make the same steps.
