It's a good day handmade card

Spring in California has been interesting.  We went from the high 80* to wind, rain, thunder, lightning and low 50* weather in one week.  Don't fear - the sun showed the next day - and we expect another dose of rain this week, so who knows.  Created in a recent card making class, this was a fun and easy card to do in honor of Spring.  Join Us and create pretty works of art, wrapped up in a hand-crafted card while having fun and connecting with others.

This is a fun Emboss Resist technique.  Created easily on the Shimmer White Card Stock.  

Technique:  When you want to create this unique look do so with an Emboss Resist technique. 
~ Cover the surface of the card with the Embossing Buddy.
~ Stamp the surface with the VersaMark ink pad and the Happy Home stamp set.  This can be BUNDLED and Save 15% when you score the cool Hearth & Home Thinlits Dies.
~ Cover the stamped image with the Clear Embossing Powder, Shake off and Heat Set with the Heat Tool.  It will be hard to see the image so hold IN the light to see that it is reflecting well and heat set.
~ Paint the surface with the Island Indigo and Garden Green ink pad using the Aqua Painter.  Add extra ink/color behind the embossed area, like the leaves and the words to make sure they pop.
~  RUB the Surface with a napkin or cloth to remove any wet ink that sits on-top of the embossed surface.  Like magic - the clear will appear white and shimmery.

Tool Tip Tuesday:  Create this cool look with the Embossing and Emboss Resist Technique.  To obtain the BEST Embossed image you need to use an Embossing Buddy before every heat emboss. Simply rub the surface of the card stock BEFORE stamping with Versamark Ink.  This will help the surface to hold only to the stamped image and not residual oils or static of the card stock.

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
