You need to see this creative twist on a popular fun fold card technique

Hi fellow crafters! Are you ready for another fun fold idea, one that has a twist?  For today's card and video I am going to show you how to create a Reverse Easel fun fold card. I will be using my Garden Wishes and Nuts about Squirrel stamp sets and two designer series paper: the gorgeous Blackberry Beauty and the fabulous In Good Taste.

The star of my card is the super fun Nuts about Squirrels stamp set:

I created three fun elements for my card, using the Nuts about Stamping set. This set features two cheeky squirrels that will look adorable scampering across any of your projects.  You can use the Two-Step pieces to add color to your squirrel, add texture to your leaf, or to create a multicolored acorn. Or if you’re feeling especially artistic, you can color the squirrels using your favorite coloring techniques. No matter where you live in the world, you can customize these critters to match the fauna outside your house. Red, gray, brown—these creatures are just plain cute no matter their color.

The Blackberry Beauty paper features the traditional autumn images of leaves, sprigs, and birds paired and I love the nontraditional color palette, especially with the added shine of gold foil accents!

The Garden Wishes set includes greetings of support and friendship and I will be using this one inside my card.
