Vintage Beautifully Baroque

Elegance? (Check)
Vintage? (Check)
Distressed? (Check)
Awesome??  (Check, Check, Check!)
 
I love card making... and this card was a fun one to make!  With a fun inspiration, one that was in my head for a loooong time... I am so glad to have created it (and 25 of it's siblings) for a swap at the 25th Anniversary Stampin' Up! Convention!!
With our Crumb Cake (#120953) card stock and ink (#126975), Very Vanilla card stock (#101650) this neutral card comes to a rich life!
Shhhh... so I love purses, jewelry, shoes, clothes... when I purchased a Spring-Summer purse this year, this purse caught my eye!
 
I knew that the moment I owned it, I'd make a card inspired by it.  This is the inspiration for this card.
Stamping our Beautifully Baroque (#130895) stamp on an Embossing Buddy (#103893) prepped card stock with Versa Mark ink (#102283) the Black embossing powder (#109133)  becomes so elegant.
 
Two for One??  YES!  Using my Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (#113439), Big Shot Magnetic Platform (#130658) and the Apothecary Accents Framelits (#127003).  The shape mimics the Baroque.
 
Cut in 1/2 and use both sides... on two cards.
The Beautifully Baroque Embossing Folder (#130917) and Big Shot take this Very Vanilla to a new level.  Rubbing the embossed surface with our Stamping Sponge (#101610) and Crumb Cake ink for this highlighted the embossing and also distresses it.
 
Our Hostess Exclusive Express Yourself (#130339) stamped with our Basic Black ink (#126980).
Curl the edges with the Bone Folder (#102300) and sponge it for this elegant look.

I know that this is one of my favorite cards for convention...
what a great swap, if I do say so myself - 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
