Block party

I really liked Sandy Hancock's Block technique (I did a card a few days ago) and had some ideas on how to do more of this technique.

Fall is here, even if the weather doesn't feel crisp but rather muggy in So CA. I am in the new Planning season for our Daisy Girl Scout Troop. I imagined my girls grabbing the last rays of the Fall sun while riding this Tree Swing.

Here my Trusty Color Coach and selected Cajun Craze, More Mustard and it's monochromatic color match So Saffron. You can see the yummy results on this square 4"x4" Very Vanilla card base.

This really hits the StampinUpLNStampers challenge of one level card! It has depth and dimension. The swinging girl silhouette is stamped with Early Espresso.

I really enjoy this Block Technique, thanks Sandy, I hope that you will join in on the block party, too.

  1. Another great example of a one layer card. I love the different colored blocks. Thanks for playing with us again on LNS.

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
