Today is a great day for several reasons…it's Friday…the remaining Blendabilities are now available (woot-woot) and today starts an exciting promotion that Stampin' Up is offering for the Big Shot! WOW…so much to take in so lets go!
This fun card is so classic and crisp! I used the new Smoky Slate Blendabilities for this simple card and you know how I feel about these single stamps….love them! This one is appropriately called Snap Shot and it is one for you! WHY? You can put just about any sentiment with it to make it work for your needs!
I am having fun playing with these blendabilities and I am learning each and every-time I use them! The best tip is WORK IN A SMALL AREA….and be PATIENT because if you do this….YOU'LL HAVE FUN!
I know that it is hard to see in the pictures but I used the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder for the top layered black piece! Trust me on this one…when you see this in person, it is one cute card! So fun because it is so simple!
After I played and had fun with the new markers…I punched a simple hole on the side of the camera and simply placed a small piece of Black Ribbon and used a piece of sticky tape to anchor it and then the stampin' dimensionals did the trick!
Remember that I have been sharing with you colors that I do not use a bunch…and today is Black. I use Black all the time as an accent color but I forget to use the boldness of black as the base of a card and WOW – it looks sharp!
This card will look super with a BOLD color and let the "neutrals" of the camera make the statement! I chose not to put a sentiment on the card and let the sentiment shine on the outside of the envelope. I just love doing this…TIP – stamp the ends first and then go back and do the center! Much more forgiving doing it this way! The stamp set is called Hi There!
The Back To Black DSP seemed to be the PERFECT fit for this card…I am just crazy about this paper! I works perfect for today's card!
The texture of the embossing folder is just perfect. Darn, I wish that you could see it better!
Now to an exciting promotion that Stampin Up! is offering and it is all about my main man…"Mr. Big Shot" This is one tool that is a must and I love what my daughter Hannah says to me….Now she is super smart and says to me…."Mom, I cannot figure out how that simple black thing does so much"

I love the “strap” on the camera. Just makes the card for me.
Love this card. Love the Black & White too. Clean & Simple.

Good morning, Susan! What an elegant card … I always think of black and white cards as elegant like black tie and tails! Your use of the big polka dot embossing folder and the whimsical ribbon strap for the camera are a great addition. Thanks so much! Have a great weekend! Hugs, Suzie
I finally have internet again. Missed seeing your posts this past week. Great CAS card. Loving that stamp and I like how you used the ribbon for the wrist strap. Nice touch. TFS
I have tried 2 times to send this message to you and it won’t go. Third time is the charmer….I hope.
Anyway, I received this stamp the first day of convention, but haven’t played with it yet. This card gives me inspiration. Love this black/white. Thanks for sharing, and have a great weekend.
Susan , that’s the best iv seen with that set , love , so cute ,love the strap , lol
Hugs frenchie ,
This is just plain fun! That strap made me smile even! Great coloring! Love all the layering look! So crisp and bold! Then that envelope is just so fun! Great job as always. I can’t wait to see someone using the grays or the crumb cake markers on the koala bear!
Love this card. First time I have wanted that camera, but my sis is a professional portrait photographer and my husband and nature and landscape photographer. Guess I just had not seen it quite like this. GREAT job Susan, as always.
