My cup runs over (with Spumoni ice cream)

Raise your cup and toast today's National Spumoni Day! Growing up my Grandparents opened their home to anyone who was interested in a fun bible study and ice cream social every Tuesday! Their living room would fill up with chairs and people on the floor... After there would be a line to get your two scoops of ice cream in any of the many flavors they kept on hand!

Those were some of my fondest memories! I loved the plastic blue cup he served the ice-cream in. It was this cute lil cup and those sweet times, sigh... I do so miss them!!

Here is my toast to today's celebration and in remembrance of them I created this lil cup out of punches. Our cupcake punch created the ice-cream scoops (Wild Wasabi, Pink Pirouette and Chocolate Chip papers to honor Spumoni ice cream). Our large. Circle punch 2 3/4" cut in half is the bowl. The bottom of the bowl is the candle from the cupcake punch as its base. And the handle is our 1" circle that I punched and then re punched to create.

With Stampin' Dimensional adhesive it all comes together. Our cool tool is te Crystal Effects. It goes on milky and wet. A lacquer that dries in about 30-50 minutes to stay clear, glossy and 3D!! I love who it makes it more like ice cream goodness!!

The Got Treats stamp set is ideal or this card. I love the Naturals Paper that creates this subtle sprinkled effect.

So raise yourrr cup and toast my amazing grandparents and this fun holiday! Go, get yourself some Spumoni and have a cool day!!

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
