Tuxedo Card

 

I made my first Tuxedo card for a dear friends birthday.  I was quite happy
with how it turned out.  I gave cutting it out one try and called my hubby 
to take over for me.  I may try it again for someone very special but it
was one of the more complicated fun folds I have made. Papers are
by stamping up.  Flowers by MFT, Mouse and sentiments  
by Lawn Fawn. Unsure who the happy birthday die is by.

A few fun challenges:

Wow, that is a really cool fold Donna! I haven't seen this one before and it looks like an opened standing envelope that's pouring out! Super cute with the little mouse too! Thanks for the inspiration friend!

Saw one of these the other day, and thought I’d give it a try, but if you had to call in reinforcements, I’m not so sure! Cute card, Donna! I’m sure your friend loved it!

What a wonderful fun fold card, Donna! I love the papers and cute embellishments you used. Keep trying this one - the first one is always the hardest. I have full confidence you will enjoy the next one more. Thank you for playing in my Creative Creases Challenge and hope you can join in again soon.

For me it's the first time I'm seeing this fold, it amazes me how people can still come up with new card fold ideas for us to try:) The die cut sentiment looks perfect on here. Nice fresh colors.

You ladies (and your hubbies) who make special fold / box / shaped cards have all my admiration! This is way above my pay grade, Donna, and your dear friend will be over the moon to receive this delightful card! Hugs, Darnell

And...I was on the receiving end of this card. I have it sitting on my bar in the kitchen and get so many comments on how pretty it is. It looks very challenging to make although I love to do fun folds. I can see hubby measuring so precise, that is the engineer in him. Thanks you for both of my birthday cards and a fun night of crafting. Oh and what a great dinner too.
