Spring Loaded Colorful Stampin' UP! Card Making

 A boo-boo is something that I've grown to expect from my kids.. but when a dear friend went through what should have been an easy surgery to have it go all wrong... I paused to create a hand crafted card that is SURE to brighten her day.  Debbie gives to EVERYONE in her life and is an amazing crafter and card maker.. so this fun spring loaded handmade card is JUST for her!  These items are RETIRING Last Chance Items - sooo they are ONLY Available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!!  See the video below on these amazing SPRINGS* also.  Taking time to COLOR during our recent Crop for Kids was a fun way to create alongside of the amazing ladies - knowing that Debbie would have been there led me to create with her in mind.

I hope that you enjoyed this Video. 

Coloring is a FABULOUS way for me to center my thoughts.  Using our Stampin' Blends makers allows me to build and build color that LOOKS like I actually drew and/or painted the image.

USUALLY I stamp with our Memento Black Ink Pad but this time I stamped with the Just Jade ink pad TWICE (stamping ONCE, flipping the paper and Stamping OFF a second time without reinking for a light stamped image).
Using the Stampin' Blends (alcohol markers) as you LAYER and LAYER colors.  The COMBO of the two coordinating colors can be expanded with MULTIPLE Colors - like these sweet critters are.  Starting with the darker of a combo, I add the light and then blend in other shades of similar colors.  The MORE you do - the more it blends together for a dynamic look.
Add a WINK!
Our Wink of Stella glimmer brush is a liquid sparkle.
I find that the added sparkle - NOT COVERING Everything but rather dashes and accents that highlights the varying colors is a great way to add depth and interest.
Layering over this STUNNING Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper is a non-traditional way to create this scene.  I love the flashes of gold and coordinating colors (one of the reasons I ADORE the coordination of Stampin' Up! products!!).  
I love thoughtless crafting - it all comes together easily and stylishly!!

Creating an interactive card is a FUN way to add to the joy and beauty of a hand stamped hug - like this card.  These Springs are sooo easy to use and I STOCK PILE them lol!

Quick WOW Christmas Cards that are Whimsical, Dr. Seuss and 1950's Retro inspired

 What is your favorite Christmas movie?

My childhood memories, laying on the floor of my Grandparent's home, watching Dr. Seuss and The Grinch to Charlie Brown... to these days and Hallmark type movies - The Christmas Card (a few years older, 2007, but has stuck with me and become a favorite!).  I'm so very excited to live in the CUTEST little town that has wonderful movie type feels - our first Christmas here has me so excited!!  

In a nod to Cindy Lou Who, the Grinch and those pink Christmas decorations - lol.... these two PINK Christmas Handmade Greeting Cards come to life!

From the cutest whimsical tree stamped inside - in PINK - lol.. you can have such fun with wow but quick and easy non-traditional Christmas cards.  TWO for ONE on this one!
~  Embracing the Expressions in Ink STUNNING, vibrant and gold foil accented Designer Series Paper... here I trimmed the paper to 3-3/4"x5".
~ Stamping the Whimsical Trees stamp set greeting on the card fronts (here we did Stazon Black on one and Polished Pink on the other) before you adhesive it to the card front.
~  Framed with Polished Pink card stock (4"x 5-1/4") on a Thick Basic White Card base (Scored at 4-1/4" Cut at 5-1/5") adhesive together with our Stampin' Seal + adhesive.  
~  Stamping the ornaments in Stazon Black Ink (a solvent ink that can stamp on non porous surfaces) and Die-Cutting them and the Tree in the Gold Foil with our Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine.
~  Die Cut the tree 'string of lights' with Basic White card stock.
~  Adhesive this to the Gold Foil Tree using our Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and using a Silicone Sheet to adhesive it down with less mess!
~  Using Stampin' Dimensionals and the Mini versions (those tiny ornaments!) for a pop or WOW to this handmade card.
Like any good artist... 
Sign your cards!
Stamping the back of the card in the Polished Pink is a fun way to add fun (do this to your envelopes also!).  Then WITHOUT RE-Inking - stamp the inside for a stamped-off soft image that you can write over even!

WHICH of these two cards are your favorite??

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
