Say cheese! This greeting card for photographers is one that I made for a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator only swap, using my new Capture the Good stamp set. I went with a monochromatic theme with a little pop of colour.

I went with Smoky Slate Cardstock, with Silver Glimmer Paper for an accent. Memento Tuxedo Black ink for the main image and Stazon Jet Black ink on the Silver Foil Sheet (dries better on the glossy surface). I added the colour with a Stampin’ Blend Marker (I -think- I used Blackberry Bliss…but I’m not sure anymore LOL), being careful not to work the image too much or get too close to the lines, as alcohol markers will react with alcohol ink (i.e. Stazon). Extra bling from the rhinestones because I could.

Actually, I just realized that I have bling on my actual camera….LOL – on my lens cap holder!! So perhaps that’s why I added the rhinestones…it’s a greeting card for photographers who appreciate a bit of bling…like me!

In any case, with or without rhinestones, this camera card is great for any photographer in your life, or for your scrapbook pages! The sentiments can be applied to many card giving occasions too. This set was inspired by Demonstrator Tami White – when Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators reach 1 Million in Sales (!!) they have a big ceremony and presentation, and the demonstrators get to work with the Stampin’ Up! Artists to come up with a stamp set.

So whether you’ll be creating a greeting card for photographers, scrapbook pages featuring photographers or (ahem) photos, or other paper crafts, I’m sure you’ll find lots of ways to use this stamp set – I think it’s one of my new favourites from the current catalogue. I will try not to overuse it for future sharing!

That being said, I did use it for a black and white card for July’s Card Class and Stampers Club Class….hahaha! Monthly Card Class is the first Wednesday of each month (usually), so you’ve missed that chance, but if you join Stampers Club before Monday, July 15th, you’ll get the opportunity to make your own camera card (similar but different to this one). Don’t forget to check out the upcoming events on the YamStamps Events Page (you can also see more details about Stampers Club there) or sign up for the YamStamps mailing list to get crafting inspiration and event reminders in your email! Hope to see you in class soon!
