ReVamping my Poppy

OK so I posted this cute card that embraced the bright card of Poppies on Pumpkin Pie paper and highlighted with Real Red. See here:

I did it for a Stamp A Stack class (large quantities of cards in one morning so the cards tend to be more stream lined). This Parks n Rec class was fun!

Coming home I wanted to adjust this card.... When my dear friend Christine came over we assembled stamps, caught up n chatted about the goings-ons of our lives. We recreated this card. Christine is my Bright color girl and she did it while we reviewed swaps from convention.

Sadly this mushroom card doesn't have a who made it sticker on the back so I can't give credit where it is due!! Seeing a simple technique as this, highlighting something with our Crystal Effects adhesive is a fun way to remember and fall back in love with it.

I hope you like the revamped poppy card and imagine the possibility on how you can use this technique!

Howwww do you make it look like this, you may ask... It's simple!!

Outline your image with the fine tip of your Crystal Effects Adhesive. (always store this upright so that the tip stays clear for the next use)

Full in said image with more glue. It will look milky but it doessss dry clear!! The rounder that you make the glue dot the rounder it will dry.

Dry time: allow for a long bit to dry. I'd suggest a few hours... Iike to do a few and let them sit over night. If you touch it before it drys, it will keep any marks that you may have made.

Toodles, for now!

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
