Tower Fold card 4 My Friend

 The mailman just collected this card from our mail box. 

 

I promised a friend a recipe and since she is a great card maker I felt she needed a special card.  Serendipity placed the Splitcoast Stampers Weekly Inkling in my inbox and this card fold was front and center.  The tutorial is easy to follow and it was a quick make. 

 

Actually, I started this post yesterday; left to go to a freezing cold baseball game at my grandson's high school; and never got back to my computer to finish it until now.  That means the mailman picked this card up yesterday and it is on its way.  It also means I can do absolutely nothing about the fact that the sentiment is crooked.  I remember stamping the sentiment a bit wonky.   I flipped over the paper and stamped it straight.   But somehow I managed to glue the wrong side up.  Oh, well.

 Papers are from CTMH; sentiment stamp is CTMH; stamp for blue flower is SU; flowers are MFT die cuts and punched.

Another squirrel card

Here's another CAS card using a squirrel image from Whimsy Stamps Bundles of Hugs stamp set.  Doesn't this little guy look warm and cozy in his classy scarf?

 

Instead of stamping and coloring directly on the white card base, which markers sometimes bleed through, I stamped the image several times on various colored scraps, fussy cut, paper pieced and then glued the image on the card.

I'll be submitting this card to:Fab n Funky Challenge #428 - Keep It Simple; Krafty Chicks Challenge #529 - CAS; QKR Stampede Challenge #404 - AG; Scribbles Design Challenge #93 - Feature a Creature;   A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge #126 - AG; 2 Crafty Critter Crazies Challenge #43 - AG with a critter; Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge #523-AG; Pammie's Inkie Pinkies Challenge #2041 - AG; The Library Challenge #69 - What to Look For in Autumn; AAA CAS Card Challenge Game #176 - One Corner and optional twist cozy
