Grey monochromatic hand-stamped Christmas tree card

I just had the most wonderful conversation with my dear and awesome cousin who lives across the nation.. while it's a balmy, sunny 85*  in my neck of the woods in California.... it's a 'warm' (ha!) 22* in his neck of the woods... New York!  So as I toast (with my Pumpkin Spice Latte)  my family and friends across the nation, those who 'enjoy' weather... I give you a snowy Christmas scene in a lovely hand-stamped card.

This classic monochromatic card is fun to create!  You need:
Smoky Slate card stock (#131202)
Whisper White card stock (#100730)
Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack (#130132)
Basic Grey ink (#126981)
Special Season stamp set (#131769)
Silver 1/8" Ribbon (#132137)
Rhinestone Jewels (#119246)
Red and Green Permanent Markers
Paired together by my Color Coach (#130118) this monochromatic cool grey card is sure to WOW!  Clean and fast cards are all the rage.  Here this fast card is ideal while being cool and clean.
Adding pops of color and shine is ideal... so this cute bow tied together is adhered with a rolled glue dot onto this Basic Grey stamped tree on this pretty polka dot Smoky Grey Designer Series Paper from the Neutrals stack. 
 
Layering over the Whisper White card stock, these sweet polka dots take on a snowy effect that mimics what those back East....
Adding color to our Rhinestone Jewels is easy with a Permanent Marker before adhering to this tree.  Less is more so these small dashes of sparkle are minimal but make a big impact.
The High Shine still shows through when it comes to our amazing quality Rhinestone Jewels (at such a low cost) and are a must for every crafter!
Send Christmas Greetings when you send this cool card.  It's clean and cool... a perfect way to celebrate this holiday season.
 
I'm blessed that you came by today!  Celebrate the weather of your area... or toast the weather where others may be (and enjoy the warmth of California with me - lol).  Come back and visit... I try to post daily.  Share me with your friends and family, please.
 
Whether you have a snowy or sunny view this season, embrace the classic moments of this Christmas Season!  Raise your mug and celebrate the winter season - even if it isn't winter in your neck of the woods.  Sending a hand-stamped card is a wonderful way to warm someone's life - no matter the weather outside!

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
