Classic, Cute - the polka dot and bows look is one that is timeless!  From cool color combinations to making it New and Modern to Vintage and Elegant.. you can have SUCH Fun with polka-dots and bows!!  This pretty hand-stamped card came to mind thanks to my newest accessory - this fashionable card  is cute and chic.  Join Me in making this pretty hand-crafted card with this easy tutorial.

So, back to school my kids go (a bittersweet time) and with them new backpacks.  I love that backpacks are Back In STYLE!!  SCORE - this mom loves the idea of having free hands again while being stylish.  THIS new backpack is for ME!!  SCORE - and of course it inspired a cool card.
Grab the new Decorative Masks - here the Dots and Stripes gives me the perfect tool to create these cute, colorful polka-dots that mimicked my new backpack.  Use the Sponge Dauber on my finger (it's such a FUN tool to use, like finger-painting without getting my fingers dirty!!).  Dip in the Cherry Cobbler ink pad (I like to use the corners that are used less in stamping and juicy with ink).  Rub into the openings for this cool design on the Crumb Cake card stock.
BAM!  Stylish, cool, adorable Cherry Cobbler polka-dots on the Crumb Cake card stock that perfectly mimics my new stylish (oh so cute) backpack.
Tie on some cute fun!!  The new Gift Bow Bigz Die creates the cutest collection of bows and oh so easily.  I was originally against this bow, until I played with it!  Having fallen in-love with it, see how easy it is to use.  I do recommend using the new Fast Fuse adhesive. 
 
Simply run the Basic Black card stock (the other half of this one sheet in making the card base) through the Big Shot with the Gift Bow die.  Adhesive the ends with the Fast Fuse adhesive (a super strong adhesive).  Use the 1/8" Circle handheld punch to make a hole for the Antique Brad.  Use the Fast Fuse to 'hide' the brad backing with the ends of the bow - already cut out for you thanks to the die.

It's simple, cute and chic - just like my girlfriends!!  So stamp this simple sentiment from the And Many More stamp set using the Jet Black Stazon ink pad.  These perfectly sized sentiments are great for so many uses!
This card was fun and quick to create - and I LOVE the look of it!  I am so happy with my new bag and this card shows how awesome hand-stamping and card-making can be inspired by fashion!

From fashion in the Roaring 20's to Coco Chanel; bows and polka dots are a timeless style that can be worn at any time.  The renewed trend of wearing backpacks, and uber cute ones, have me over the moon!  It sure is fun and easy to create a hand-stamped card that is classic and stylish.

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
