I’ve been wanting to make one of these “fancy fold” cards since I saw it on Jan Tink’s blog over a month ago! It’s finally my turn!

I followed Tonya Allen’s instructions for mine. However, I noticed Jan resized hers to fit a standard A2 envelope which I will definitely do next time I make this card!

I was blessed Saturday with a day out with two of my good friends. We went to a LSS where I picked up some wonderful Bazzill Bling cardstock. This stuff is so gorgeous. I know everyone has been using it for awhile now but not me. And boy, would I like some more!!

So this is the card all folded up.

Oh, and let me tell you…this is one sparkly card! I’ve got so much sparkle on this card, you might need sunglasses!

Here is the card opened up…

So let’s talk sparkle…

I used retired Raspberry Tart designer paper from Stampin’ Up!. I also used the new In Color, Melon Mambo. I used Melon Mambo card stock, ribbon, and marker on this frog. I also used Stickles (Icicle) to cover the frog’s belly and spots. I used Waterfall Stickles on the water. And I used my Stampin’ Write Markers to color the image. Oh, I almost forgot, the Bazzill Bling is Emerald City.

Isn’t this just too cute?

This image…oh my! I used Spica pens for this image (where you see glitter). Can I just say I adore Spicas? I’m off to order some now so be expecting those little goodies in my shop very soon.

I know exactly who is getting this little card. Because if my sister doesn’t receive it, I’ll be absolutely disowned. She adores frogs, green and bright colors. So it’s hers.
