Celebrating the Great Outdoors in a handmade card

This week we've been at our home-away-from-home - Big Bear Lake, CA.  We love it here.  With June being Great Outdoors Day and Summer starting.. we decided to celebrate it all with many lake and hiking.  We even hiked through shoulder high bushes along the lake and we had a blast!  So celebrate with me - the 365 Reasons to Celebrate make it easy and fun to do so.  This pretty handmade card was created in our recent Getting Crafty Club class.. a technique series we have fun in each month.

I love how each month we create with fun new techniques.  Here is a fun and easy one that makes a big 'impression'! 
~  Stamping the mustard seed stamp from the Enjoy Life stamp set on the Woodland embossing folder in Daffodil Delight ink.
~  Layer the grass in Granny Apple Green over the bottom.
TECHNIQUE:  Create an impression when you place the Whisper White card stock across the front and emboss in the Big Shot die-cutting machine. 
~  I love how this comes out with layers and a wow look.
~  Stamp this greeting from the Itty bitty greetings stamp set in Memento Black ink on the Granny Apple Green card stock.
~  Using the Classic Label punch create this cute little image.
~  Add sparkle to the inked image with Clear Wink of Stella glimmer brush and a Rhinestone next to the words.
 The Great Outdoors Month is worth of celebrating!  It's out there, it's free, and this week we embraced it head on!  Hikes, kayaking, boating, fishing... we are blessed to live in such a beautiful area.

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
