I’ve been sharing several sets of 5 cards with you over the past couple weeks, each set featuring the 5 new Stampin’ Up! In Colors coming out in May!! For this set of cards, I wanted to use the new 2026-2028 In Color ribbon in addition to the cardstock.

Hydrangea Hue is a gorgeous new In Color. If you loved Boho Blue or Orchid Oasis, you are going to love this new color. I love how it paired with Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends coloring. My floral image was stamped on a Beautifully Celebrated Die Cut.

And the 5th of the new In Colors is my personal favorite: Crisp Cantaloupe. It’s really kind of funny that it’s my favorite.. be cause I am not an “orange” person… but I love this color! It pairs so well with shades of peach, pink and even Poppy Parade.

Capturing Smiles from OnStage

| 6 Comments
A stack of handmade cards features pastel cameras and faux photos, with the text "Capturing Smiles from OnStage 2026" at the top and "Everyday moments" on each card. The cards are arranged in a fanned-out display on a light surface. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

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.

A handmade card featuring a blue paper camera, film strip with three small photos, gold polka dots, “EVERYDAY moments” text, and a red heart. The creator's watermark, “Patty Bennett PattyStamps.com,” appears on the bottom right. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

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. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

How I created the filmstrips:

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)
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)
Craft table with clear bins holding blue paper cutouts shaped like cameras and circles. Scattered on the table are filmstrip-shaped cards displaying small photos of people and a larger camera cutout featuring a photo in its lens. “PattyStamps.com” watermark present. 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!

A craft table shows blue and white die-cut camera lens pieces resembling smiley faces. Red arrows point to the smiling shapes. A card with a blue camera, family photo, and “EVERYDAY moments” is above. Text asks if anyone else sees a smiley face in the lens pieces. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

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!

A handmade scrapbook card features filmstrip die-cuts with small photos of people, a blue camera illustration labeled “LOVE SNAPSHOTS,” red hearts, and the text “EVERYDAY moments.” The card is signed “Patty Bennett” with branding and copyright in the lower right corner.
