📸 A Bundle That Truly Captured My Heart
For this project, I’m using the brand-new Capturing Smiles Stamp & Die Bundle from Stampin’ Up! — and let me tell you, this set had me smiling from ear to ear the moment I saw it.
With its camera imagery, scenic snapshots, and playful sentiments, it’s perfect for memory keeping, travel lovers, and anyone who enjoys celebrating life’s little moments. Even better, it’s part of the upcoming Online Exclusives Pre-Order launching March 3, 2026 (and demonstrators can grab it now!).

Even better, it’s part of the upcoming Online Exclusives Pre-Order launching March 3, 2026 (and demonstrators can grab it now!).
What makes this bundle extra special for me is how closely it connects to my love for photography and travel. I just returned from an incredible trip to the Lofoten Islands in Norway, and this stamp set feels like it was made for capturing those adventures in card form.
It also reminds me so much of my retired Million Dollar set Capture the Good — so seeing a “sister set” come along truly made my heart happy!
Let’s Talk About This Triple Z Fold Design
Now onto the card itself — and this super fun locking Triple Z Fold! This interactive fold opens beautifully while still staying secure when closed, making it perfect for mailing and gifting. I colored the camera with Stampin’ Blends Markers (which I walk through in the video with easy beginner-friendly tips), and paired it with the gorgeous Brushed with Beauty Designer Series Paper for a fresh spring feel.
To bring the scene to life, I used stripes on the front for contrast and florals inside to create a garden-inspired backdrop. One of my favorite little details is how I added patterned paper to the camera lens and film roll — it looks like the camera is actually snapping photos of the flowers inside the card!
