Crazy Crafters March Blog Hop - Casing Allison Okamitsu

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters Blog for March. This month we are excited to be CASE'ing Allison Okamitsu from Canada! Now even better we get to hop along with Allison herself! Woo Hoo!
We hope you find great inspiration from the projects. The full blog lineup below will help you move along to see all the projects. This is a blog hop you will not want to miss out on!

My inspiration came 2 of Allison's project's

I really couldn't choose from all the fabulous creations that Allison has on her blog! WOW project after WOW project. So I decided to CASE slightly differently. Take 2 projects and create a baby!
I was inspired to use many of the elements on Allison's cards - from the Vintage Leaves stamp and Framelit Bundle, Hardwood background stamp, Burlap ribbon (which I LOOOOVE), the wooden 'thanks' and the First Edition DSP - another favourite of mine.

I used a super cool stamping techniques on this card its called ROCK n ROLL stamping - stamp in Bermuda Bay First then in Night in Navy - but only just the edges! How great does the leaf look stamped on the newspaper like DSP?

 I love the subtleness of the Hardwood stamp for the background - here I stamped Crumb Cake (stamped off once) onto Island Indigo cardstock.

Try making this card! Here are the measurements for you:

• Aussie C6 card base in Whisper White Thick cardstock
• Pool Party Frame 3-7/8" x 5-5/8"
• First Edition DSP Panel 3-3/4" x 5-1/2"
• Night of Navy Frame 4-1/2" x  3"
• Island Indigo Panel 4-3/8" x  2-7/8"
• Very Vanilla Circle 2" circle punch 

Be inspired with this colour combination, feel free to share and pin it!

Rustic Ribbon Leaf - Love this Life

I am totally in love with this card!! I set out to create a RUSTIC card, this card is way more 'clean' than I originally intended but it works so well. This clean card really shows off the pretty and rustic ribbons behind the leaf cut out. If you don't recognise the sentiment, you soon will - it is from a new set called "Enjoy the Little Things" and will be available with lots of other awesome products on January 5th! So stay tuned there will be lots more to show you in the coming weeks!

The burlap ribbon is just perfect for any rustic project. 

Simply lay the ribbon behind the cut out and raise the top panel with dimensionals.

Follow the lines of the Framelit to create a simple and subtle outline with a marker.

  Here are the card measurements so you too can create this card:

• Standard Australian C6 card base in Whisper White Thick Cardstock (half A4 sheet)
• Basic Black Frame - 3-3/4" x 5-1/2"
• Whisper White Frame - 3-5/8" x 5-3/8"

Get inspired with this colour swatch, feel free to share and pin it!
