Crazy Crafters Blog Hop ~ with Amy Koenders

Miscellaneous

I am so excited to be participating in another great Crazy Crafters Blog Hop.
This time we are CASE’ing the gorgeous Amy Koenders.
I think that is the thing I love most about these great blog hops. I get to discover lots of great new stampers and see and be inspired by their gorgeous work.

With this blog hop we had to choose a card or project off Amy’s blog and CASE it (copy and selectively edit). There were so many great projects to choose from, but I ended up picking this great card below.
The thing that struck me the most about this fabulous Christmas card is that it featured untraditional Christmas colours. I love the gorgeous tempting turquoise and real red with the gorgeous soft sky.
It’s a colour combination that I will definitely be using again!

Here is my take on the gorgeous card.
As you can see, I have CASE’d a fair bit of the design including the products. I just loved the card so much! I embossed the tree in white however as I didn’t have any silver embossing powder. The gorgeous stamp set featured is called Santa’s Sleigh and is one of my favourites from the Holiday Catalogue. 
I have also added some of my favourite rhinestones, some of the gorgeous red metallic thread which can be also found in the Holiday Catalogue along with a gorgeous green and I added Wink of Stella to my tree which in person makes it really shimmery!
I so apologise about my somewhat wonky stitching. I am using a new machine and to be honest I am not very good at sewing but I just love the texture that it gives. I need to adjust the tension a bit on the machine.

Here’s a close up of the bow and the bell. These bells are so cute and I just really want to stock up before the Holiday Catalogue retires. I especially love the red ones. 
I am trying to perfect my bow tying skills. I tried to ‘bunny ear’ technique which the lovely Vicki Hunter showed us at the Onstage. 

I also used some crumb cake for the inside of my card and added a stamped sentiment. 
I love the cut sentiments and I love to ‘dress’ the insides of my cards these days.
It’s funny…earlier this year I had never really been a card maker until I found Stampin’ Up and now I am even decorating the insides of my cards! 
Wonders will never cease.
I really hope you have enjoyed this blog post.
Please be sure to check out the rest of the lovely ladies in the hop.

    The added stitching gives a homely touch Kayla. Your subtle changes have made for a softer card which I really like.TFS

    Wow! we must have similar taste, Kayla. I like your version a lot, especial the skinny sentiment. It looks so stylish.
