You make me happy hand-stamped watercolor card

Color is so in and I couldn't be happier!!  This year the introduction of color back into my crafting (and wardrobe) has me doing the happy dance!  This quick, cute 4" square hand-stamped card has a fake you out watercolor look that embraces color while being cute!  So tie one on and create this cute frame card with me (ribbon, tie, lol)
Create this card with:
Happy Watercolor stamp set (#133191)
Whisper White 12" card stock (#124302)
Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper (#132994)
Smoky Slate ink (#131179)
Island Indigo ink (#126986)
Daffodil Delight ink (#126944)
Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon (#125583)
Circles Collection Framelits (#130911)
Big Shot Magnetic Platform (#130658)
Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (#113439)
Stampin' Dimensional Adhesive (#104430)
 
Cutting this 12" Whisper White card stock gives me many cute 4" square cards per page!!  Square cards are very trendy right now and look so cute... so go ahead, use that 12" scrapbook intended paper for cards!
Cutting this Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper into a window is easy with the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Magnetic Platform and the Circles Collection Framelits.  (Don't toss this circle away, find a great way to re-use it in another project!!)
 
Once you cut the center out of the Watercolor Wonder, lay it down on the 4" card.  Using this as a guide, stamp the flower from the Happy Watercolor stamp set in Smoky Slate.  (Using the colors listed in the book that ties to each paper pack allows me to look coordinated and sharp.) 
Layer the 'You Make Me Happy' sentiment over the stem in Island Indigo Ink.
 
This Happy Watercolor stamp set has a 'fake you out' watercolor stamp!  I LOVE IT!! It is supposed to not be perfect, making it perfect for me (te, he, he).  It has a ombre / variegated look pre-done so it's soft and pretty (while being trendy).
 
Tie it together and highlight the frame/window when you tie the Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon.  Adhere the 'frame' with our Stampin' Dimensional Adhesive.  This gives dimension and highlights the frame.

Doing the happy dance over this frame/window look, color filled, hand-stamped card!  Embracing the use of color (in my card-making, paper-crafting and fashion) this card with a mock-watercolor look.  So create a cute hand-stamped card and send some color to those in your life!

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
