"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:

Hello everyone.
Welcome!
Today is October 6, 2017 and it is Friday.  The end of the work week.  Almost the end of the first week in this month.  Tomorrow is "World Cardmaking Day" and I can't wait to see all the displays of beautiful and creative cards you will be posting.   Most companies will be having sales on craft supplies so stock up.
I'm off on the weekend to do other things so I'll be checking in when time permits to see what you are doing.
Because it is Friday...you know by now my drill...yes, "what's in my stash for Friday"...my own personal challenge.
Okay, here is the run down on what I used:

• This week, I used a border from K & Company made by Brenda Walton.  I left the package near the desk.  So of course, this would be a piece...flowers on the left.
• I have a folder of die cut items that I cut when I'm doing projects and maybe don't get a chance to use all the cuts or they just don't fit the project that I'm working on at the time...circles and heartfelt creations die (blue)
• It's easy to have items already made in a package that you can pull out to use...in this case, the wooden sentiment (hello)
• Items that don't have the adhesive anymore but is good if you put glue or sticky tape on the back of it...butterfly.

Here's the card:

"Amazing Grace"

Hello friends, followers visitors and viewers.
With the holiday on Monday, today seems like Tuesday instead of the middle of the week.  But let's jump and shout for joy...it is not that many more days before another weekend.

I'm trying not to get anxious about hurricane "Irma".  If she makes landfall in Florida, my daughter may or may not be adversely  affected by this phenomenon .  Not only Florida, but the weather forecaster are predicting that it will travel up the east coast...that means VA will feel some of the effects.  Pray with me dear readers that she and all the other Floridians will be safe.  I've told her that material possessions can be replaced at some point but your life...once gone,  cannot .  If they tell her and the people in her area to evacuate...then do so .
I'm depending on God's Amazing Grace and this is the title for my card.  God holds everything in His hand:

 

My top focal layer is a piece of Bazzill peach cardstock.  I cut out two die cuts from the heartfelt creations raindrops on roses die using the peach as well as the Neenah white cardstock. The negative cut from the peach provided the backdrop for the white die cuts.  Three different flowers were layered together and two die cut pieces from the peach cardstock were tucked and adhered behind the flowers.  Ranger coral liquid pearls were added around the die cut pieces.  I will enter this card at http://www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com for the Anything Goes weeks #298-299.
