Baby inspiration

Vintage elegance in a hand stamped baby card... this was my goal when I knew my girlfriend and her hubby are expecting their newest baby (and finally) a girl!!  So creating this card with Rheana in mind was inspired by this Picture Challenge.  See how a modern home can inspire vintage elegance in a hand-stamped card that celebrates the new with the old.
Create this card with:
Very Vanilla card stock (#101650)
Blushing Bride card stock (#131198)
Blushing Bride ink pad (#131172)
Perfect Plum ink pad (#101889)
Sahara Sand ink pad (#126976)
*Ex Libris background stamp (#131992w/129496c)
*One in a Million stamp set (#132052w/126382c)
Pearl Jewels (#119247)
*Large Pearl Jewels (#125577)
*Victoria Crochet Trim (#118481)
*Sponge Daubers (#102892)
 Brayer (#102395)

Inspired by this Modern Home and it's cool garden, this lead me to create a vintage card!
I love this *Ex Libris background stamp is simply stunning!!  I love the vintage book plate feel.  A great way to color background stamps is to ink your Brayer and run it over the stamp.  This will prevent 'lines' that a stamp pad may make while spreading the ink for even coverage.
 
Add shading (like the flowers in this garden) with your *Sponge Daubers.  They are amazing!  Fun for kids and adults (or adults who are kids at heart).  Here the Color Coach paired the Blushing Bride with the Perfect Plum and the Sahara Sand.  Using the Sponge Dauber in the Perfect Plum I created this cool accent and depth that is very vintage.  Do the same with the Sahara Sand for even more depth.
The end result is a pretty, elegant and vintage looking card!  Adding this Baby sentiment from the *One In A Million (soon to retire - sigh) stamp set in Perfect Plum ink.  This is a two part set but using the Clear Mount Rubber I can line them up and stamp them at once!!
See my friend Rheana is stunning - probably one of the most beautiful ladies (inside and out) that you may meet.  So I couldn't leave the card as is... I had to take it up a notch!
 
Here the elegant (soon to retire) *Victoria Crochet Trim and the adhesive backed *Large Pearls are so elegant and simple to apply.  Rhea has two boys and a manly man at home... so this new baby girl who is on her way.. she is going to wrap this family around her perfect little finger!!

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
