Two Birds of a Feather...

So hard to pick a favorite!! I do so love our Bird Punch!! Here I used a Basic Black based card, I adhered Real Red to the top of my card front. I then punched out a 'Moon'. I ran these three layers thru our Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder (created a 'man in the moon' effect on the moon). HERE you can see I was torn between the two moons - either a 1 1/4" Circle punch in White or the Heart Punch in White.. hmmm...
The Bird Punch with branches was adhered on top of the textured/embossed card. I did the branches first.. then the birds.... the 'Your a Gem' Stamp set (from the Occasions Mini)coordinated perfectly with the tiny oval punch from our Holiday Mini... so I stamped the sentiment 'It's the Little Things' on White and punched it out.. using SNAIL to adhere it on.

(As ANY Mom and Dad can attest to - it's the little things that gets one thru... and a moment of quiet that this card represents... sigh... I long for such moments w/ our kids about.)
The 'Heart' Moon was Impressed w/ the Texture going into the card...
The Circle Moon vs. the Heart Moon is a hard choice.. My hubby likes this card the best!! (He'll get one sent to his office as a surprise.. he, he, he.)

This card was similar to a Owl punched card seen on LNSstampers group... I can't remember by whom but I do so love the concept... I don't have the Owl punch but I do so love our bird punch... and it reminds me of those quiet moments when the kids go down to bed... that I can see my hubby (before I fall asleep on the couch... sigh).

The Embossing on the Circle Moon was impressed out... hmm... a favorite??

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
