Poppin’ By Photo Card

This card is going to our friends Ed and Jenifer, just because. I also made a different version of the card for Bob’s scrapbook – we will tuck it into a pocket as a fun memory.

It’s based on a card that is part of my Bingo Class, and I converted the gift-card part to become a Photo Card.

See below for instructions and for a gallery with other ideas. There is also a video on YouTube here. If you want to see other Photo Cards, you can click at the top or here.

I love this card sketch. It works great for sending a gift card, and it works great as a Photo Card. I hope you use it to surprise someone today 🙂
