Inspired by one of my favorite papers, Soho Subway (#130140) and this new, cute
Hostess Exclusive Perfect You stamp set (#131877).
With Crisp Cantaloupe card stock (#131298) as the base, this warm card takes on a vintage vibe.
This stunning paper is oh so elegant and patterned to look vintage and feminine. Our Bird Builder punch (#117191) allows this punched image to alternate the sides for contrast. Mixed patterns are all the rage and these are designed to be coordinated - making me look cool - oh so easily!
Here stamped with Early Espresso ink (#126974) on Very Vanilla card stock (#101650) for a sharp looking image that coordinates with this paper. The vintage looking stamp lays over this Taffeta Ribbon so it reminds me of a hanging sign.
Here the branches come off the side, the birds are created with cool patterns and looks, adding a textured feel with my Big Shot and the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder (#129984) resembles a trellis you'd see birds living on while adding a fun texture and additional pattern to the card.
Go for it! Take on multiple challenges... as it is, people aren't usually one-dimensional. I love that this card reminds me of something Victorian, covering multiple textures, materials and patterns, nature, vintage, feminine... so multi-dimensional! Celebrate a Happy Bird-Day with someone and tweet them some cheer!
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
