Embossing Folder Wonder

The uses for an Embossing folder are not limited to the Big Shot... I love using my folders as a Background Stamp!  Here is a Preview of the Spring Mini coming out in January... this card has the Honey Comb Embossing Texture Folder and Collage Curios stamp set - both from the Spring Mini! 
I am in love with this Mini!!
 
 
Using a Brayer, an Embossing Folder, Ink Pad and Rolling Pin you can take any Embossing folder and turn it into a Background stamp!
 
 
This Natural White cardstock base is ideal to create a clean but vintage looking card.  My dear friend and stamper Nancy and her two daughters inspired this with thier warmth, sparkle and love.  They needed a prayer... so I am sending this as a reminder that I'm praying!
 
 
Brayer an Embossing Folder with Soft Suede ink and then place the cardstock inside.  Use a Rolling Pin (the baking kind - how cool is that??) and then roll over the closed folder.  Use even but not too hard pressure and it'll come out great!  I like to stand when doing it.
 
 
With my Embossing Buddy I powdered the surface of the whole card.  With the bee from the Collage Curios (Spring Mini) is stamped these bees with a Versa Mark pad.  Powder with Gold embossing powder.  Heat Set and BAM these lil sunshiney-gold elegant bees are stunning!
 
 
Tie Early Espresso Bakers Twine in cute lil bows in the Soft Suede and Early Espresso Neutrals Flowers from the Neutrals button colletion.  Using the Mini Glue Dots to adhere them down and stamp with Early Espresso this I'm Praying for You sentiment from the Blessings From Heaven greeting stamp set.  I love that it's neutrals, elegant and simple.  It's clean and fun!  I used my Daubers dipped in the Soft Suede ink and daubed the edges... it's softens the card while adding a vintage vibe.
 
Here is a peek at this quick and fun technique!  Let me know what you think!  Thanks for looking!

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
