So Grateful

Hello crafty friends!

It has been a minute since you have heard from me. To give you a little background of why this is is my first post of October, I live in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Hurricane Helene brought us a lot of devastation and catastrophic flooding. A week before that happened I had a family emergency. The damage here is crazy; so many lost homes and loved ones, and there are still people missing. I was without water for about a week and power for about 12 days. No cell coverage for over a week and still no internet.

My sweet husband is letting me hotspot from his work phone so I am keeping it short over on my blog not posting links but I will go back and add them when we get our internet service back.

I titled this post So grateful not only because it is the sentiment on my card but because I am so grateful for everyone who has helped in any way.

Here are the details so you know what products were used and how I made this card. I started with a white top folding A2 Neenah Classic Crest Solar White pre cut and scored card base along with an A2 Neenah Classic Crest Solar White pre cut panel. The pre cut card bases and panels are the best, they make it much easier to put a card together. For a small fee CutCardStock will do this for you. With die cutting a heavier weight card panel, it gives the sunflowers much more detail; the stencil adds the depth.

To finish the card, I triple cut a die cut greeting using Stardream Metallic Gold backed with Vellum. I also added a panel of plaid patterned paper behind the sunflowers.
