Bouquet Flower hand-crafted Hair Clip

Create a stunning hand-crafted gift that will beautify babies to your best friend (or gift yourself).  This Bouquet Bigz Die is a wonder - creating 10 different leaves that make a huge variety of flowers.  Taking our fun die-cut and using it for more than paper crafting and creating a wonderful gift for a beautiful baby girl - what a great way to get more out of our crafting supplies!

Creating leaves with a punch using material can be a real challenge (or even impossible!).  Here taking the Felt from my daughter's birthday party sleep mask craft (we created custom sleep masks - lol - for her sleep-over).  This is not able to be punched in a paper punch.  Using our new Bouquet Bigz Die (from the Occasions Mini Catalog) and Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine I can cut through two sheets of felt with ease (like butter!!).  

Here die-cutting four of the smaller leaves and six of the medium leaves gives me the makings of a beautiful flower out of this ivory felt.  Note the split on the bottom of each leaf.  These are to be overlapped to create a curved petal.
Start with the smallest leaves and thread onto the back of our Antique Brad and overlap them as you do.  The larger leaves I sewed and then added to the back of the brad and felt.  Using Hot Glue to add a ribbon to the hair clip. Add the flower to the ribbon/hair clip with more hot glue.

This would be a lovely gift for a wedding bouquet, gifts for the bridal party (sorry, my oldest daughter, cousin's daughter and as of this weekend my neice are all engaged - it's on my mind) and gifts for my daughters to create for their friends.

Of course, one has to try out and model this hair bow - lol.  My dear friend has a STUNNING baby girl - an answered prayer - who is full of joy and lights up the lives of all she touches.  I created this pretty hand-crafted bouquet hair bow gift for this angel of a girl.  I loved giving a little bit of my crafting to adorn a beautiful little baby and lovely enough to last her a long time.  Give a little bit of yourself in a gift that keeps on giving.  I love knowing that every time she wears this, a little bit of my love will be with her.

Sometimes you take a moment and look about your home, realizing that there is a need for something pretty.  It doesn't have to be expensive, can be fun to create and will add some interest to your home and/or office.  This Vintage Flower was created to jazz up my refrigerator - I wanted something pretty on it to add interest and joy to my kitchen.  The New Bouquet Bigz Die and Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine gives me a fun new magnet that does all of that and more!
Create this lovely 3D Flower Magnet with:
Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper (133704)

Basic Grey card stock (121044)
Antique Brads (117273)

I love vintage accents in my home.  Creating a fun and interesting magnet to add some paper-crafting joy and inspiration to my kitchen was fun and easy to do.  The new Bouquet Bigz Die took my scraps of the Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper and created this big blossom of a flower.  Die-Cutting 6 of the two sized leaves.  The centers are split up so that you can overlap it and create this curled leaf look.  Adhered together using my Hot Glue Gun for an over sized WOW flower.

Die-Cut the Center with the Blushing Bride card stock.  Center using the Antique Brads for a fun and easy accent that ties into the style of the hand-crafted paper flower.  Using my Bone Folder to curl the edges of the die-cut leaves.

The large variety of our double sided Designer Series Papers gives so many options to personalize your flowers.  The Bouquet Bigz Die (from the new Occasions Mini Catalog) is designed to create a large variety of flowers and accents for your hand-stamped cards to gift giving.

Give it a base.  Here the scallop punched Basic Grey card stock is a great base to this flower.  Adding the magnet will allow for it to accent an office or my kitchen!

Create a new accent in your home or office that will bring in some joy to your environment.  Here a simple hand-crafted 3D flower in vintage paper and accents allows for a happy holder to my refrigerator.   This hand-crafted flower was created and highlighted on the Gettin' Crafty Stampin' Newsletter - one week before this post!  Join the fun and be in on the 'know'.  This hand-crafted flower makes for a pretty accent and/or gift!

Combing colors can deliver wow results.  Here the Color Coach pairs this trio for a stylish look.  Stamping the Thanks from the Seasonally Scattered rubber stamp set in Cherry Cobbler ink on the Daffodil Delight card stock pops.  Soften the edges with the Cherry Cobbler ink sponged along the edges using the Stampin' Sponges.  This adds warmth and age to this pretty image. 
 
Using the 1-1/6" handheld circle punch pierce where you want to add your antique brad.  I love the look of this scrolled, vintage and nature look to this brad.  It really adds to the style of the stamp.  Layer and adhere using the SNAIL adhesive for a quick but pretty hand-crafted card that will say so much more than just 'thanks'.

Fabulous You lacy hand-stamped card

Give the gift of an elegant, lacy, immortal hand-crafted rose with a pretty hand-stamped card that is easy and fun to create!  I am not super girly but creating a card that is ultra feminine is a fun way to step out of my comfort zone.  With coordinating stamps, tools, papers, accessories, ribbons and inks you can quickly create a hand-stamped card that will make them stop and enjoy the roses! 
Create this lacy rose card with:
Million & One stamp set (wood 126375/clear 126377)
I Love Lace background stamp (wood 134033/clear 134036)
Typeset Specialty Designer Series Paper (133704)

Blushing Bride ink pad (131172)

 I Love the look of tone on tone. Our stunning top-quality colors come in coordinating and matching colors so that you can create many looks.  Here stamping the I Love Lace background stamp with the Blushing Bride ink on the Blushing Bride card stock creates a tone on tone look that is elegant and subtle, making for a vintage vibe. 

Take the vintage feel up when you distress the edges.  Simply age it and soften it with the Stampin' Sponges in the Blushing Bride ink pad.  Rub the ink along the edges, more in the corners (like on the right side of the card, above) for a softer, subtle accent that with tone-on-tone will add age to this card. 
Create these stunning 3D roses to accent your hand-stamped cards, gift bags, tags, and more using our Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine and the Spiral Flower Die. 
 
Laying both the Typset Spiral flower over the Blushing Bride one.  I like to use my Bone Folder (102300) like on ribbon and pull it softly to make the shape curl.  Punch a whole in the base piece with the 1/8" Circle Handheld punch and add the Antique brad of your choice.  Roll the flowers together and add hot glue to the base around the Antique Brad to hold the rose together.  Adhere it to the card front with the hot glue for an extra strong hold.
Tie on some fun... using the Venetian Lace Crochet Trim and tie on this pretty accent.  You can either lay it out on the card or tie it into a bow... both are lovely.  I love how they accent the Million & One sentiment in the Jet Black Stazon ink on this card.

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
