Natural Birthday

When you think of Nature, Manly Men, Hikes and combine them... you can create a manly-man Nature Inspired Card for a Birthday Celebration!!
 
This fun and easy card pulls together with the inspiration of wood and trees, tied together with the a rough rope Natural Linen Thread (#104199).
Our awesome Natural Composition Specialty Designer Series Paper (#126917) has wonderful shiny raised printed patterns on a heavy-weight paper.  This natural wood print is the perfect accent for this Lovely as a Tree stamped birthday card.
Very Vanilla card stock (#101650) makes for a clean base.  I think, if most men are like my husband, less is more - lol.... he likes it clean and simple (my Daddy used to say KISS - Keep It Simple S... illy - lol).
Stamping this Sassy Salutations (#126707) Happy Birthday with Versa Mark (#102283) and cover with Early Espresso Embossing Powder (#128980).  Heat Set with our Heat Tool (#129053) on this Natural Wood printed page.  It has a real feel of wood, too!
With our Garden Green Stampin' Write Marker (#131262 for the Regals Collection of Stampin' Write Markers) you can paint the grass and leaves on the tree to this card.
 
Using the Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker (#119680) to color the tree trunks in.  I adore this Lovely as a Tree stamp set (#127793) - it's perfect for every season, nature lovers, holidays, fairy birthdays... oh, it's so lovely!
Natural, simple, celebratory wishes for a simple man and friend to our family.

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
