Grateful

Hello,

This post is my first since being back since my husband Barry’s passing. It is for you, I am so grateful for the outpouring of love and support from all of you. It is palpable, I feel it and it is so comforting, thank you! This crafting and card making community is incredible. We are all lucky to belong to such a supportive proactive group of people.

I think this is the first time I am using this beautiful suite, Blackberry Beauty, and what a beauty it is. This card is very simple and the paper is stunning. I think it “carries” the card. The gold accents pick up the foiling in the paper and adds a touch of elegance. I left is plain and simple on purpose, sometimes less is more.

Here are the measurements and supplies for Today’s Forever Grateful Card:

I used a Blackberry Bliss Card Base 8 ½” by 5 ½” , scored and folded at 4 ¼”. Next is a piece of Blackberry Beauty Specialty Designer Series paper for the front of the card cut at 3” by 5 ½”, and 1 piece for the inside cut ½” by 4”. Then i used 2 pieces of Gold Foil paper ½” by 5 ½ ” for the front of the card, 1 piece cut 1” by 2 ¼” to mat the sentiment, and 1 piece 4” by ½” for the inside of the card. Lastly, inside, I used a piece of Very Vanilla 4” by 4 ¾”.
