Casing Amanda Reddicliffe

When I saw Amanda's Just Add Christmas card, my first thought was "I must case that!"  It's so gorgeous, and uses three elements that I just adore - Crumb Cake cardstock (the cardstock formerly known as Kraft), heat embossing and that scrumptious wide striped grosgrain ribbon.  Heavenly!

Here are my two versions (I had to play around because I don't have the sets Amanda used... they're now on my ever expanding wishlist!):

My bows aren't as good as Amanda's... *sniff*

Now... is it poor form to send someone a CASE of their card for Christmas??  ;-)
