Capturing Smiles from OnStage

I had a thought, and I love how my idea turned out… I used my Capturing Smiles bundle, and photos from the Stampin’ Up! OnStage demonstrator event in Long Beach, CA (March 2026) to create little memory cards to send to friends! I was inspired by some cute projects Natalie White shared with my team last month!

I used the Capturing Smiles bundle (a March Online Exclusive release) to stamp the camera images and die cut the film strips for my cards. Each card also features a piece of the new 2026-2028 In Color designer paper for the background.

A handmade card with a large blue camera cutout on peach stripes. The camera lens shows a group photo. Next to it is a black film strip with three small photos. A tag reads "EVERYDAY moments" with a red heart. The card has "PattyStamps.com" at the bottom. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I also stamped Everyday moments for each card from the bundle as well.

A handmade card features a blue paper camera with a round photo of three smiling women in the lens. Next to it are two black filmstrip cutouts displaying small group photos. A white label reads “EVERYDAY moments” with a red heart. Background has blue polka dots. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Tip: to stamp multiple greetings like I used on all of these cards, I grabbed my stack of 1″ wide strips of Basic White cardstock and stamped it over and over, then just trimmed in between each one at an angle with my snips.

Tips for using the Capturing Smiles bundle:

A hand holds a paper camera cutout with a 1-inch circular photo of two women in the lens area. Other camera cutouts and small photo strips are scattered on a table. Text reads, "I found that using a 1'' square photo for the camera lens or filmstrip seemed to work best. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Printing 1″ square photos worked the best for me for both the camera lens and the filmstrip. I used the 64 square collage template in PicMonkey to make my sheet of photos, then printed on my color laser printer.

A film strip die cut, three small photos in a vertical row, and a line of glue on white cardstock are shown on a table. Text explains gluing photos to cardstock before attaching the black film strip die cut on top. An arrow points to the glued photo strip. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Example of my collage of photos created in PicMonkey:

A computer screen displays a photo collage with 64 small, square images of people smiling and posing together. Bold text over the collage reads, "example of the collage page I created in PicMonkey with 64 photos to use." The watermark "PATTYSTAMPS.com" appears at the bottom.

How I created the filmstrips:

Several black and white filmstrip-shaped paper frames are arranged on a table, each filled with tiny, colorful photos of people. Loose mini photos and empty frames are also scattered around, suggesting a photo craft or scrapbooking activity. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

After cutting all the camera lens pieces with the Capturing Smiles dies, I had a bunch of these center circles… I just couldn’t see anything except smiley faces with those circles!
