Colorful Celebration hand-stamped butterfly card

I love butterflies... to me, they are pretty, feminine, elegant and represent new life... we even released them at our wedding!!  So with a full butterfly garden and a love of these lovely critters... this colorful hand-stamped card comes to life and screams 'Celebrate!'.  (Did you know that they sell Butterfly bushes??

With a bold and pretty paper, this Sweet Taffy Designer Series Paper just POPS!!  It screams 'Celebrate!!'  Here this Daffodil Delight printed page looks like sun rays to me.
 
Stamping the Swallowtail background stamp on the page with the Memento ink pad gives me a beautiful image.  Coloring it in with the Pumpkin Pie Blendabilites for a ombre color of bright and beautiful colors.  Coloring the lightest color towards the body of the butterfly, the medium in the middle and the end for a darkened edge.
Even from behind - this is a stunning option for an abstract butterfly!!  The Blendabilites bleeds through and I love the look - it doesn't on card stock but this lighter weight, patterned Designer Series Paper it will.  (Always stamp and color on our Grid Paper #130148 for a clean surface and better image.)

See how cute this mis-stamped but colored in butterfly card came out!  I love the look of an avant-garde butterfly card!!
These Blendabilites are an alcohol marker system.  They color our Rhinestone Jewels for a stunning 'fire opal' look.  Using Scraps of paper - I love to use the 'scraps'.  Here with the And Many More stamp set and the Modern Label punch this fun patterned paper coordinates and pops!
Stamping this new And Many More 'Celebrate!' sentiment with Pumpkin Pie ink ties into the card and covers so many occasions!!  The colored jewels are so lovely.
 
My dear friend, Christine, is a colorful stamper and this card brought her to mind... maybe I'll send it to her!

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
