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.
I also stamped Everyday moments for each card from the bundle as well.
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:
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.
Example of my collage of photos created in PicMonkey:
How I created the filmstrips:
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!
I used one of the faces from the Bee my Valentine set to stamp the eyeballs. Watch my video this Friday to see what I did with the smiley faces 🙂
Lastly… I made a card for myself.. It’s a 3-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ slimline, and will sit on my desk to remind me of my dear Stampin’ Up! friends!
