Happy Independence Day
if you live in the USA.
And I hope my Canadian friends had a wonderful Canada Day!
This is a CASE of a card by my good friend LeAnne.
Thanks for the inspiration, my friend!
The main image was an ATC card done for the June swap
for my crafty ladies group.
I've stamped on Naturals White and Cherry Cobbler snippets
with my Woodgrain background stamp, then cut both into strips.
I used a new embossing folder, Pinewood Planks for the background
and added even more texture with corrugated cardboard and burlap ribbon.
I also want to share the bounty my friend Candee (Card Corner by Candee) brought me.
Everything was full of candy. Appropriate don't you think?
She also knows my favorite treat and spoils me.
You can see how she made these goodies here.
While you're there check out her other posts.
Candee has some awesome organizational hints and lots of creative cards and projects!

How sweet to receive all those nice treats. I love your Independence Day cards. I struggle with them (and they are all usually last minute). I like how you didn't need themed stamps or dies to make the magic in this card happen.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful patriotic card, Bonnie. I just bought that Pinewood Plank EF. Love it behind your image. And lucky you to receive all those goodies from Candee. Thank you so much for joining us this week at Less Is More.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful CAS card, yet so detailed. I love the use of burlap for texture. Well done! Thanks for taking tIME OUT and joining our challenge!
ReplyDeleteLove this clean, modern design Bonnie!! That 'plank' embossing folder is incredible and love that woodgrain stamp you used too. Your layers of stars look fab too, especially with the addition of the burlap. And boy oh boy did your friend go all out with her 4th of July goodies, she did an amazing job. Always wonderful to see you at TIME OUT!!
