Oh the web we weave hand-stamped card

I'm a vintage girl.  I love lace.  When the new Spider Web Doilies came out I became a little giddy.  So join me in a nod to a Victorian era, where beauty was seen in lovely lace.  Created for a recent class, Join Us at the many fun card making and crafting classes  coming up!
Create this lacy web card with:
Very Vanilla card stock (101650)
Basic Black card stock (121045)
Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper (139584)
Spider Web Doilies (139622)
Fine Tip Glue Pen (138309)

The cool *Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper is a great collection.  Neutral enough to use for those who, like me, may not do much for Halloween.  Pretty enough to use in a multitude of ways.  Here the spider sheet is perfect for this Halloween card!  *This Designer Series Paper is ideal for any Spider Man birthdays that may come your way, too.

I actually like spiders.  My poor mom, she hates them with a fierce passion.  I came home one day with a pet tarantula.  No words.  Now a days, I have many a pet.. none have more than 4 legs, lol.  I even commiserate with my mom.. as I've been blessed with kids who are just like I was.
The original weavers of lace... spider webs can be so simply stunning.  Here the fun layered look of web on web is cool and stylish.  Adhere the Spider Web Doilies with the new Fine-Tip Glue Pen to hold these lovely lacy parts securely.  Tied together when it's framed by the Basic Black card stock.. this is a simple but elegant hand-crafted card.

Our recent class had a blast with this collection of paper and doily.  We made different versions and they all rocked!  Taking the lovely and surprisingly strong doily and cutting it apart creates cool accents and looks.  Look at it in a new way and have fun with what you create!!  Thanks for coming by.. we had a blast stamping the FaBOOlous sentiment from the Six Sayings Hostess stamp set on the inside.  It is, FaBOOlous, isn't it.

Tips for Using the Precision Base Plate
If you like detailed die cuts, you're going to love our new Precision Base Plate (item 139684) from this year's holiday catalog. The steel plate gives you extra-fine cuts with minimal effort and makes you look like a paper crafting pro! 


To preserve your cutting pad and produce optimal results, please use the Precision Base Plate with the Multipurpose Platform, not the Magnetic Platform. The manufacturer also recommends that you (1) flip your cutting pad and use the opposite side after every use; and (2) avoid cutting in the exact same place every time, especially when using the same die repeatedly.




We hope you'll have fun with this great new product!

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
