Lovely Nature!

I'm a natural girl.. I don't wear much make-up,
I love to hike and take power walks w/ my kids and dog...
So Nature speaks to me!
 
When creating a card that captures sweet Nature I couldn't resist utilizing
~ Nature's Pace (a favorite stamp set of mine), then adding
~ Netting (a divine background stamp),
~ the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper (from the Spring Mini)...
let's get started!


With Pretty In Pink card stock as the card base I stamped the Netting background stamp on with Pretty In Pink ink.  It allows for a subtle texture and look, a delicate lacy look to this base of a card.
Stamping the stunning Bee centered vine with Pretty In Pink on Very Vanilla card stock.  It's a little plain... so utilizing the Lucky Limeade Stampin' Write Marker (pen / thinner side) and highlighting the leaves and branches.
 
Highlighting the Bee and Flowers with the So Saffron Stampin' Write Marker (pen / thinner side) and tie in the DSP as well!
 
Using the Labels Collections Framelits and Big Shot the Very Vanilla stamped card stock is easily framed by the Early Espresso card stock in a perfect layer!  Stampin' Dimensional Adhesive adds to the layering process.  The two adhesive backed Basic Jewels Pearls continue the sweetness.
 
The Scallop Edge Border Punch punched two strips of the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper (DSP) and flipping one over, the two sided paper now has a different look of a material on the card. 
With a little gentle love, using a finger nail curl the edges of the punched Designer Series Paper adds interest and whimsy.  The Ruffled feel is tied in with the 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon in Lucky Limeade.
 
Grab YOUR Spring Mini and our Idea Book
(I would love to get them to you, just let me know!)
and see what YOU can combine to create a Sweet and Natural card!
 
Let ME know what you discover!!
I would be glad to Highlight YOU
in one of my posts!

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
