I originally learned about this fun fold card from my friend Ann (she does lots of fun stuff, but doesn't have a blog). She didn't name this type of fold, but I'm calling it the Double Box card. It's super fun to make and decorate. The really cool thing about it is that it folds flat so you can mail it in a normal envelope without having to add any extra postage. I actually made mine a bit bigger than an A2 card, but it will still fit in a 5" x 7" envelope.

The card base, and main box, is orange cardstock and then the panels were covered with purple cardstock and some patterned papers. The second box was created from the purple cardstock and then a piece of Sticker Paper was adhered to the purple cardstock. Tiger Orange glitter was added to the exposed adhesive, after adhering the focal image to the front.

The sentiment, which is part of the set, is also a digi version as I wanted to make it larger. After printing it in orange ink, I used a Sakura glue pen to add glue to each of the letters and covered them with Tiger Orange velvet glitter. I also added a few squiggly lines with the glue pen and added more Tiger Orange glitter. Before the glue dried completely, I rubbed some of the glitter off as I wanted it to be more spotty looking instead of solid lines.
You will probably be seeing more of these Double Box cards in the future as I had such a fun time making and embellishing this one. :-)
Now it's time to visit Chris and see what she's come up with for your viewing pleasure. Be sure to visit each of the Designers' blogs and leave a comment (it is checked for compliance) for your chance to win all of the new sets revealed this month.
Happy Hopping!
