Beach day inspiration hand-stamped card

Warm days bring on the desire for some ocean life.... capturing the fun of the beach with this quick beach inspired hand-stamped card!  Have fun, whether you can hit the beach or not, and send some warm wishes with this cool and quick card!
Create this card with:
By the Seashore stamp set (#126532)
A Dozen Thoughts stamp set (#131059)
Pool Party card stock (#122924)
Pool Party ink (#126982)
Very Vanilla card stock (#101650)
Soft Suede card stock (#115318)
Soft Suede ink (#126978)
Linen Thread (#104199)
Stampin' Sponge (#101610)
Stampin' Dimensional Adhesive (#104430)
Paired together with the help of my Color Coach (#130118) these colors are warm and welcoming.  Our By the Shore stamp set is a lovely version of beach shells and critters.  Their classic look stamps well with the Soft Suede ink on the Pool Party card stock.  Layering the shells so they land on each other or flow off the page looks so good!

This stamp set is a little aged looking.  Tie this in with a slight 'softening/distressing' of the edges.  The Stampin' Sponge in Soft Suede ink along the edges gives a soft vibe to this card.
Stamp this sentiment 'You made my day.' from the A Dozen Thoughts stamp set in Pool Party ink on the Very Vanilla card stock.  The cute crab from the By The Seashore stamp set frames the sentiment with the Soft Suede ink.  Layered over the Soft Suede card stock it pulls the colors together for a cohesive look. Soften the edges of the Very Vanilla card stock with your Stampin' Sponge and the Soft Suede ink.

Tie this look together!  The rustic look to the card pulls together with the Linen Thread tied on the side.  Leaving lose the ends for a distressed beach accent.  Layer them and create depth with the Stampin' Dimensional adhesive and raise above the 'waves' (lol).

Go ahead, send some of the beach to your family and friends (even in the midst of winter) with this quick card.  I love cards that are fast.... this 10 minute card is ideal for a busy girl, like me.  No matter the weather outside, or if you can hit the sand, this hand-stamped card embraces the glory of the waves while delivering warm wishes!

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
