"Box On A Card"

Hello friends, followers, visitors and viewers on this rainy Thursday morning.
Well at least it is raining where I am.  Someone, somewhere is enjoying the sunshine and beautiful weather.
It's October but I'm thinking Christmas today.  I still have some cards to make and I haven't done one in quite a while.  Last evening, I pulled out my Christmas supplies (stamps and dies) for this morning but really didn't know what directions to go in.
I've viewed several YouTube videos showing how to make a "box on a card" and decided to review for today's card.  If it didn't go well, you would not be enjoying the view today.
I loved doing something different and this design fell right in with my enthusiasm and desire .
It is not a card that will go postal...unless you are sending a large box with other items to an individual.  This type of card, in my opinion should be hand delivered.
Here, take a look and tell me what you think in the comment section below:

"Christmas Greetings In August"

Good Friday, August 11, 2017 to all my friends, followers, visitors and viewers.
A very rainy morning outside my window.   I don't have to venture out today.  Most of my appointments were earlier this week.
Since Friday's are always the busiest time of the week for me, I usually craft from my stash.  Today I used cardstock from my stash but I had to use the die cutting machine to create the card .  Therefore, I can't say it is "what's in my stash Friday".  It is half and half (lol).

The focal cardstock came from my stash.  It had been heat emboss using a stencil and white embossing powder.  I  used some distress inks (abandoned coral and ripe persimmon) and applied a little to each corner.   The dies for the flowers were Elizabeth Craft designs "Victorian Flower Overlay Set 2; Darice "Holly Border"; and Sizzix "Garden Greens".  The die I used for the sentiment came from Cottage Cutz "Christmas Greetings".  For my embellishment, I used two Recollections Dimensional Sticker (poinsettia).
This is my holiday card #4 for this week.

Hope you enjoyed your view.
