I love how my Fast Fuse adhesive holds the pretty paper down to the card stock and the Stampin' Dimensional adhesive pops up the greeting.  So easy to create interest on your hand-crafted cards.

Quick, cute and perfect for so many reasons - this handmade card is a great one for anyone's collection. 
~ Die Cut this Sunburst Thinlit Die on the Gold Foil Sheet for this golden card with the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine.
~ This pretty patterned vellum was from the recent Sale~A~Bration collection but our Vellum card stock works so well in this cloud from the Tree Builder Punch.  
~  Stamp this saying on the die-cut gold foil with the Black Archival ink pad (but caution, it can slip while stamping on a slick surface like this gold foil).  
~ The Glue Dots are so easy to use on this hand-stamped card.  NOTE:  Hide the glue dots as they'll show on the vellum (I hid some of the adhesive and cloud under the sun for ease and interest).

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
