Blue Summer Solstice

I do so love this stamp set Summer Solstice! When my downline, Meriann, asked for some assistance in planning her next event we went to work (I love having fun doing what I do!!).

Here we used some tags that Meriann picked up at a discount bin. We stamped this flower with Basic Black on Very Vanilla cardstock. Using our Blender Pens we used Pool Party in to loosely color in the flower. We then darkened the edges n filled some of the lines in with Island Indigo. I love how the Blender Pen is per moistened and usable with chalks, water color crayons and ink!! They clean with simply wiping them on the grid paper until no further color spreads. Easy peasy, lemon squeasy! Reusable, double tipped and long lives.... They are a great and low cost tool to have!

Here I use the Island Indigo to stamp the sentiment from the set and the butterfly. With out re-inking, you continue to stamp and it is lighter with each application. (This is called Stamping Off.)

I used Stampin' Dimensional Adhesive to let the flower Pop! Too, look closely. I cut INTO the flower so that I'd became more 3D, and flowed more. This set is so lovely and the eye gets the illusion of flow with the lines but this allows for a more dimensional look and feel!! The multi coloring in with monochromatic color scheme add to the feel, as well.

Adhere these stunning Vintage Faceted buttons with our Mini Glue Dots and BAM!! Stunning!!!! Tie it off with our Island Indigo ruffle ribbon and it's sure to please any recipient!! I hope you feel this lovely, natural tag.... Go forth and stamp! (lol)

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
