A Cup of Christmas and Friendship wishes hand-stamped Card Making tutorial

I love a good cup of hot drink on these cooler days.  It warms my hands, gives me something warm to breathe in and drink... the tea, cocoa or coffee brings me such joy!  Sometimes it is one of the few deep breaths I get in a day.  I love when my travel cup has this perfect kissed look to it after my first drink.  So join me, and many like me, in toasting the season with a cup of love and friendship in a hand-stamped card.

I posted on the Gettin' Crafty Stampin' Preview Group this picture and asked the gang what they preferred... a resounding both but the lipstick one was a surprise! Even my hubby guffawed at the lipstick one and said that it was a fun spin on a hand-stamped card. 

Stamp the Perfect Blend cup on the Very Vanilla card stock in Early Espresso ink.  Using the Aqua Painter with water and the Crumb Cake ink pad paint in the cup.  Stamp the cup on a piece of the Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper stack and cut out the cozy portion.  Adhere it to the watercolored cup for a cool look that pops!
 
Adding the 'lipstick' look is easy, just use the Aqua Painter and a dash of the Real Red ink to create a kissed look. 
Layer the Real Red Satin Ribbon (what a luxurious feel with this ribbon!) over a strip of Early Espresso card stock.  Adhere it to the Crumb Cake card stock base.  This will allow for a rich coffee feel to this card and the Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper perfectly coordinates!

Take it up a notch - my friend and a Gettin' Crafty Stamper, Christine, likes the more traditional look to her Christmas Cards.  So on our recent Facebook discussing in the Gettin' Crafty Stampin' Preview group she was the sole person to NOT want the lipstick look to this card - lol.  I offered all who voted to receive a free hand-stamped card from me.. I also created this for her as she's that special to me!

Changing the look of this paper using the Cherry Cobbler sweater printed looking piece of the Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack and the Cherry Cobbler 1" Sheer Linen Ribbon.  Add a coffee stick under the ribbon and you now have a gift in a card!  Easy and a sure fire perk up!

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
