Our theme this week is undoubtably, patriotic! And, it sets the tome for the rest of my cards today as well!
Because I’m in a celebratory mood, I went with this embossing folder –
Yes. It IS one of my favorites! It is SO versatile for many different ways you can celebrate!
I originally made the three embossed panels and stars and placed them on the card base. I decided it needed a little something. I added the stamped Brushstrokes background image that just made the card! Simple. Effective.

i love your card, Libby! I appreciate getting new ideas for using the Celebrate embossing folder. Your card is great: — Nancy C.

This was really quick and easy! You should give it a try!
I really like the “celebrate” debossed folder – this card is really great!
It’s one of my favorites! I use it a lot!
After seeing your lovely card, it gave me an idea. I’m considering taking a die cut word and mounting it on a thick base, then trying to run it thru my cutting machine to create my own embossed word panel. Thanks for the inspiration, we’ll see how it works out forme.
Great idea Anne Marie! How’d it go?
