Dragonflies and friends handmade card

I love stained glass.  I have some in my home and if I could, I would have a window in each room - just to paint the room in color.  I created this card, inspired by a piece of stained glass that I have in my craft room.  Dragonflies have a special meaning to me, not just because I love nature.  Create with us at our upcoming card making classes.. this stunning class will be in March along with 20 handmade cards.

I love the clean look of this easy KISS (keep it simple sweatheart) handmade card.  I love the lack of waste on this, too!

Create this dragonfly friendship card by:
~  Stamp your saying from the new Dragonfly Dreams stamp set in our Occasions Catalog (this stamp set and coordinating thinlits dies are so lush!).  
~  Stamp these little dots from the stamp set on the corner of the Whisper White card stock.
~  Die Cut this strip of flying dragonflies from the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies (that bundles with this coordinating stamp set - saving me a bonus 10%) on the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine.  The Precision Base Plate helps to create a sharp cut for detailed designs like this.  
~  Using the Big Shot Die Brush to eliminate any bits and pieces.
~  Adhere the piece of the Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper behind the hand-stamped piece of the Whisper White card stock with Stampin' Dimensional adhesive for depth.  Add four Stampin' Dimensional pieces to the back four corners so that it holds across the front of the Thick Whisper White card stock.
~  Use Glue Dots on the die-cut dragonflies to the front of the card and Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper.  This will help the wings to pop up and gives a fun dimensional/stained glass look to this hand crafted card.
~  Adhere to the front of the Thick Whisper White card stock (I like to have a long type card for a longer design like this so I score at 5-1/2" and cut at 4-1/4").

A handmade card can be dynamic while being clean and pretty.  I love how easy this handmade card was to create!

Stamping Blessings, Jamie

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
