Elegant and Simple, Rockin and Rollin...

Elegant and Simple... The Theme behind this cute card. I challenged myself to make a quick 10 minute card and this is what I came up with.

I cut a Bashful Blue paper into a 6x3 card... Stamping the Baroque Motifs medallion into the Bashful Blue stamp pad... then Rock and Roll the edges in the Chocolate Chip... stamp it on Very Vanilla and Cut out. Center it w/ the Rhinestone brad in Lt. Blue for a lil sparkle. Wrap the ribbon and tie a luscious bow and then using the brad - and mini glue dots - adhere the medallion in the center... easy peasy and pretty!!

I love it - it's perfect for babies, weddings and birthdays... sans a sentiment on the front, simply write inside what you feel.

Recipe:
Stamps: Baroque Motifs
Paper: Bashful Blue, Very Vanilla
Inks: Chocolate Chip and Bashful Blue
Accessories: Lt. Blue Ice Rhinestone Brad and Vanilla Organza Ribbon

Challenge: Using a Simple Stamp Set - how can you make an Elegant Card??

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
