For this card you will need:
Post Card background stamp (#130366)
Truly Grateful stamp set (#131370)
Very Vanilla card stock (#101650)
Pumpkin Pie card stock (#105117)
Pumpkin Pie ink (#126945)
Crushed Curry ink (#131173)
Early Espresso ink (#126974)
Linen Thread (#104119)
Paper Snips (#103579)
Versa Mark ink (#102283)
Clear Embossing Powder (#109130)
Heat Tool (#129053)
Embossing Buddy (#103083)
Brayer (#102395)
Stampin' Sponges(#101610)
Stampin' Dimensional Adhesive (#104430)
Framed Tulips Embossing Folder (#121809)
Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (#113439)
Cutting the Very Vanilla card stock to 4-1/4"x5-1/2".  Powder with the Embossing Buddy, this primes your surface for the Versa Mark and Embossing (much like applying powder to your face, filling the nooks and crannies, before applying the remaining make-up). 
 
Stamp this Post Card background Stamp with Versa Mark on the Very Vanilla card stock.  Stamp the bounty of wheat and 'thankful for' stamp from the Truly Grateful stamp set.
 
Liberally cover with Clear Embossing Powder and heat set with our Heat Tool. Cut the card stock down to near the edges of the Post Card image.
 
'Load' your Brayer with the Crushed Curry ink.  Add/Load the ends with the Pumpkin Pie ink.
 
Roll across the embossed card stock and your images will appear (like magic)!  Using my Stampin' Sponge and rubbing the embossing to remove the ink that sits on the top.  Use the same Stampin' Sponge to apply the Early Espresso ink to the edges of the card stock for a framed and vintage look.  My Color Coach (#130118) paired these colors together for a colorful and warm card!
 
Using the end of my Paper Snips I make a small hole and tied the bundle of wheat with the Linen Thread for a fun 3D accent.
Emboss the Pumpkin Pie card stock base with the Tulip Frame Embossing Folder and Big Shot.  Layer this brayerd post card over the top for a raised and fun framed image.
 
This exact technique can translate with any collection of colors... see this fun video and try it yourself!  Leave me a comment and let me know what you do!
 
Often the blessing of those you are thankful for add color and warmth to your life.  Send those who you are thankful for... a thankful card that reflect the beauty they bring to your life.  I'm so thankful that you came by today... I hope that I added a dash of color to your life, too!

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
