Here is a tutorial for a tower card. The paper collection I have used is called Season’s Greetings from Creative Crafting World.
This card is a large card and will need a box or a handmade envelope, as the final card measures 25 cms by 23 cms when folded flat.
I have put the instructions in three parts. First part shows the card pieces you need, the second part shows how to put the card shape together and the third part shows the matt and layer measurements.
You will need :
A4 White Card

Glue / Double Sided Tape
Foam Pads
