Tower Card - Kitchen Sink Stamps

For today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored card I am sharing a fun fold called a Tower Card that my sweet cyber friend, Susan McFeggan, taught me. You can read about the construction of this card on this post from her blog, Simply Cards.

I adjusted the measurements just a bit to fit the images I wanted to use. The great thing about this clever design is that it folds flat to fit in an A2 envelope and then stands up as a tower when you remove it from the envelope.

Here is what the card looks like folded flat to go into the envelope.

The pop up piece which in inserted between the tower and the bird's nest panel was constructed with two 2 inch by 2 inch squares (Susan's card uses circles, but it really makes no difference what you choose to use) which were scored down the middle. They were glued score line to score line and allowed to dry. I them folded them flat and glued the back to the flattened tower lining it up on the center score line of each. The bird's nest panel was then glued to the front if this device which allows the bird's nest to pop out when the tower is opened up for standing. How fun is that!!

Here is what you get when you take the card out of the envelope and set up the tower.

The Kitchen Sink Stamps images I used 

to create this card came from the following sets:

Spring Nest

Big Leaves

Build a Pine Branch

Tiny Norway Pine (retired)

Honey Bunny

Tree Friends

Summer Lemons (sentiment)
