Elegant and Easy Birthday Card
Every Envelope should have a finishing touch... easy but pretty!!
The inside of the card... a
lil detail that really adds a WOW factor!!
Note the Real Red that I did on the
lil strip of Creamy Caramel - it discerns the layers.
The finished Product... simple but so very pretty!!
Hidee Ho folks... I had a dear friend's bday this week... I wanted to do something in her favorite color - RED... so I whipped out our Real Red and looked on my Color Wheel for a color to pair it with. The ideal color is Creamy Caramel. I did worry - I didn't want a 'country' feel/look to the card that these two colors can have... so I when elegant. I ran the Creamy Caramel (3 3/4" x 5") thru the swirly impression plate. I adhered it to the Real Red.
I then, using the Easter Bloom stamp set I stamped on Very Vanilla the flowers and cut them out. I adhered it to a 1" x 3 3/4" Creamy Caramel that I'd flicked in Real Red (this aides in separating the layer of Creamy Caramel on top of the same color). I'd punched each flower with lil holes to thread rhinestone brads and gold brads. Using the Pop Up Dots I assembled it as such.
Knowing it needed a lil more I took a 5"x3 3/4" very vanilla and using our Markers I painted the Creamy Caramel and Real Red to create the inside. Using the Sincere Salutations I did it in Real red and adhered a flower w/ the Pop Up dots... making for a stunning and elegant inside!!
Finishing of the envelope... it's a pretty and easy card.

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie
Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.
Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.
I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.
If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)
Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
