Gilded Birthday Wishes

A friend and fellow mom at EARTHS Magnet School where our lil monkeys run, learn and play. Elizabeth is a single mom of two cute boys and has the unique, once in a lifetime birthday of 10-11-12!

I created this lovely composition card mixing my mediums. With Cherry Cobbler Cardstock for the base, Natural Composition and First Edition Specialty Designer Series Paper. Heat embossing this frame from the Apothecary Art on the First Edition Specialty DSP is a different way to go about a card.

Heat embossed with Cherry Cobbler powder the Happiest Birthday from the Apothecary Art stamp set. The sentiment is bold, elegant and the Cherry Cobbler looks amazing! Using the Cherry Cobbler and Always Artichoke Stampin' Write Markers to color in the new gilded flowers and leaves.

Using the Labels Collection Framelits and Big Shot allow for easy cutting out and layering. I then cut out the wood page from the Naturals Composition Specialty DSP for a fun combination of different elements. A nod, too, to the StampinUpLNStampers challenge this week.

Taking the Cherry Cobbler Cardstock, Vintage Wallpaper Folder and Big Shot to dry emboss this lovely texture. Take the Versa Mark ink pad and rub lightly across the top of the new raised texture. Gold embossing powder and a heat gun and BAM a Stunning Gilded Card. Using Stampin' Dimensional Adhesive to raise each layer and create dimension.

This card shines almost as warm as Elizabeth does! Loving this mixing of mediums to create a very different 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
