Card Swap Sunday – Country Lane Suite

It's Card Swap Sunday and today I'm sharing a card I made for a swap using the Country Lane Suite of products.

My Border Buddy, Patsy Waggoner, and I are featuring the Country Lane Suite of products in our Free Card program for October. Read about my free card program here!

My swap card features some new products including the Corrugated Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder. I really miss my crimper (did you own this tool way back in the day?) and this folder allows met to crimp my paper perfectly.  

The patterned paper is from the Country Lane Designer Series Paper. The coordinating colours are rich and warm and include Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Early Espresso, Mint Macaroon and Old Olive.
