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.

Create a Spring Loaded Colorful Stampin' UP! Card Makingquick and easy handmade card in this Video Tutorial.
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!

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
