Basketball 1st Birthday Wishes

My husbands employee and friend, Brian, invited us to celebrate his son, JAG's 1st birthday this weekend. I love shopping for lil ones and miss shopping for fun Boy clothes (all my girls an my one boy limits the fun lil baby boy clothes).

I know that Brian, a 6' 5" man, played professional Basketball at one point and our new Great Sport stamp set covers all of the sports my kids play!

I couldn't resist using the cute basketball from the Great Sport stamp set. I stamped it with Pumpkin Pie ink on the envelope (simulating a bouncing ball) and on a white bag. I stamped the basketball with Pumpkin Pie ink on the Pumpkin Pie paper. I like the subtle nature of that.

I then took the Early Espresso paper and ran it through the Perfect Polka Dot folder and my Big Shot to create the texture of the basketball. I then corner punched the cardstock to create a "large" ticket.

I then used the stamp set Memorable Moments and our Ticket Builder punch to create the sentiment into Happy Birthday tickets (sports, game, tickets.. Lol).

I stamped with Early Espresso the Happy 1 ST Birthday on the Pumpkin Pie and punched them out into 3 tickets. I then punched the Pumpkin Pie inked basketball over the sentiments. I love the subtle look of it all. They float above the texture with our Stampin' Dimensional adhesive.

I couldn't resist a lil bling. But it was JAG's first birthday and being the first born and a son, I couldn't see adding jewels or pearls. I nabbed my Gold Shimmer Smooch and added a little bit of sparkle.

I hope you can enjoy this 1st bday basketball card. I couldn't resist stamping the envelope, gift bag and tissue!! I know we were blessed to take part in JAG's big day! Have a bouncy day!!

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
