Amazing You handmade card

Rich, luxurious colors and a plume that amazes.  My niece lives in New Orleans and watching her post about her adventures with today's Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras I couldn't help but love the exotic colors, clothes, headdress and more.. one of my favorite birds and the most exotic is the Peacock.  With our 365 Reasons to Celebrate - see how this is my nod to celebrate today.  (Create for FREE with this Free Stamp Set, Free Thinlits Dies collection and then Join Us THIS Saturday and take the class for FREE with a minimum purchase!)

~  Cover the Elegant Eggplant card stock (3-3/4" x 5") with the Embossing Buddy.
~  Stamp the *Beautiful Peacock 2-Step stamped image in Versamark ink.  Cover with Gold Embossing Powder and Heat Emboss** what stuck.  
*The great thing about this stamp set is that you can have layers of wild feathers.. 
**My kids call Heat Embossing MAGIC.. because the dull green like powder melts into liquid gold.. beautifully!
~  Die-Cut the Celebrate Amazing You thinlits in the Gold Glimmer paper on the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine and Magnetic Platform.  Apply with Rolled Glue Dots to the card.  I found that the Celebrate was a bit toooo big so I left it off of the card front.
~  Layer over the Crushed Curry card.
Don't waste the pretty glimmer Celebrate!  
~  Apply to the inside of the card!  
People love a handmade card and decorating the inside is so easy and fun to do.
My Jr. Photographer (actually my youngest daughter) wanted to help mom.. so she actually took this photo!

Tool Tip:  A Rolled Glue Dot is a great adhesive!  Glue dots are so very strong and rolling them holds thin die-cut images like this.. 
Keep it in the family.... my girls (and even my son) are part of my family business.  They are my die-cutters, stampers, heat setters and now my youngest thought she should join the team of my photographer.  I just had to share.... this is my Mom Pride kind of moment.

  1. I will be CASE'g this since I have all the requisite items, except for the purple cardstock. I'm one of the few women I know who does not prefer pinks and purples over just about any other color. ☺ Give me greens, blues, reds, oranges, neutrals like kraft, etc. and I'm a happy girl. Another plus is that I love-love-love heat embossing. Isn't that what hooked a lot of us into this fun and addictive art form in the first place? ♥

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
