I was thinking about making this card for a while. It was only when I sat down to actually work out the idea in paper that it appeared as a bushy-tailed squirrel holding a nut.

Getting it to look right was tricky because of the angles of the folds and the different colour of the tail. I ended up making around 18 trial versions until I was happy with this one.
When the construction was right I ordered the paper I needed, along with square envelopes of the correct size. I then cut the shape out, scored, folded and used a ticket punch to make the eye.
