A great friend of mine asked me if I had ever seen a Tower Card. She included pictures of cards she created in her email and boom....off I went to my craft room. Thank you Donna for the inspiration!
I decided to create a template which took me HOURS! Link is provided below. There are several YouTube videos out there, just hop on over there and see for yourself. I added one important step that helped me fold the card in the correct manner. My first card wasn't folded correctly that is why I created an additional four score lines in the card base. I highly suggest you make a sample or two.
