Elegant & Easy Grievance / Condolence Stampin’ Up! Card

Creating a handmade card is extra important (and challenging) when it comes to celebrating the life of someone so beloved by so many (including my kids and I). Juanita Bouchard was an amazing woman who loved so many, a mother to two daughters and a son and so many grandkids (and great grandkids!). Her sudden passing is comforted by the knowledge that she loved the Lord and is reunited in heaven with her husband - on their wedding anniversary!!

I struggle in creating a card with such meaning... is it too shiny? Fancy? Upbeat or simple? Celebrating the life of a woman like this..

I just wanted to get this right!

My Recipe:

~ Scoring a 7"x8-1/2" piece of Smoky Slate card stock at 3-1/2" (on the 7" side).

~ Die-Cut with the Gorgeous Garden dies the Silver Foil (3-1/2"x8-1/2") in our Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.

~ Using the Brush end of the Take Your Pick tool to help with the hanging chads - I love using an old Paper Pumpkin box to contain the excess.

~ Adhere the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to the card front.

~ With Stazon Jet Black Ink, stamp the Something Fancy greeting and Die-Cut with the Bundle/Coordinating dies.

~ Stamp the inside with the Hope & Prayers greetings and Stazon Jet Black ink.

~ Accent with the Rhinestone Jewels with your Take Your Pick Tool.

With multiple textures.. this comes together to shine as bright as the life that represents Juanita.

Leaving room to write... when you have a larger group, like our homeschool community, this shape card allows for many to write their love and comfort.

Miss Juanita.. her laughter, heart and personality was as big as her arms and hugs!! She brought together so many people with the heart to create and send cards.... bringing love and cheer to so many!

(What a beautiful legacy she leaves behind for us all!)

A beautiful card to celebrate the many beautiful memories she was the center of....

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
