A Fun Photographer's Card Using Stampin' Up! Capturing Smiles Bundle

Gate folds are a classic fun fold, especially if you're just getting into card making or are looking to advance your skills a little further. We loved decorating the card with the bright Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper and the Balloon Festoon Bundle!

Project Details & Inspiration

This card started with an Azure Afternoon Cardstock base, and we layered on Waterside Retreat Designer Series Paper matted on Basic White Cardstock for the background, leaving a crisp white border peeking out all around. For the focal point, we stamped the camera pieces in Azure Afternoon ink onto Balmy Blue Cardstock and die cut them with the Capturing Smiles Dies, layering everything together and tucking a die cut heart right into the center of the lens.

We also stamped and die cut three little picture squares with the Capturing Smiles Dies and ran them down the left side of the card over the patterned paper, plus stamped our "Everyday Moments" sentiment in Azure Afternoon ink and die cut it with the Stylish Shapes Dies. Stampin' Dimensionals gave the camera and sentiment some fun dimension, and we scattered three rhinestones across the front to make everything sparkle!

Supplies Used on This Project

We used a mix of classic Stampin’ Up! favorites and a few fun new releases to bring this project to life. From richly colored inks to perfectly coordinated paper and embellishments, every product helps you create professional-looking results with ease.
