Special Season that Is music to my ears

Hark the Herald Angles Sing...  Joy to the World... Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny nose.... Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells... One of the most magical aspects of this upcoming Holiday Season is the singing of carols and how from young to old it can add cheer to your season!  Taking a 'note' from this love of singing Christmas Carols... and the love of Christmas Trees to create this pretty hand-stamped Christmas card that is sure to make someone's heart sing!

For this card you will need:
Old Olive card stock (#100702)
Old Olive ink (#126953)
Basic Black card stock (#121045)
Basic Black ink (#126980)
Modern Medley Designer Series Paper (#126926)
Black Taffeta 1/8" Ribbon (#119261)
Special Season stamp set (#131769 Holiday pg.29)
SNAIL Adhesive (#104332)
 
This fun and quick card is a great way to make the holidays sing!  Stamping this tree from the Special Season on this music printed page from the Modern Medley Designer Series Paper.  Layer on the Black card stock 'frame' to allow for a 'break' in the card.
 
Stamping this Christmas Greetings scrolled sentiment from the Special season stamp set with Black ink on the Old Olive card stock.  Tie this little knot with the Black Taffeta ribbon.  Adhere with SNAIL Adhesive to the top of the card.
 
Using my Bone Folder (#102300) I pressed the sides of the Christmas Greetings sentiment down for a beautiful shaped band.  This subtle technique really adds to the card.
Creating a QUICK hand-stamped card doesn't detract from it's beauty.  Hand-stamped cards don't have to be elaborate to say you care!
 
I'm so glad you popped by today!  Come and visit often!  I try to post daily fun tutorials.  Bring your friends and family along for the fun, too!  Join me in preparing for the Holidays with my many classes and clubs!
 
Go ahead, no matter how off-key, sing this holiday season!  Send cards, too, to those who need their heart to sing!  Hand-stamped cards show that you care and we all need to know how special we are!  So, have a Happy Holiday Season and know that I think you are just the bees-knees!

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
