No gift warms a mother’s heart as much as photos of her family. It doesn’t matter if she is 24 or 74 years of age, memories of loved ones are very precious. Today’s tutorial will show you how to make a Precious Memories card that holds 8 photos as a special gift for Mother’s Day.
This card design was inspired by a waterfall flipping mechanism I was making for my Israel album. I wanted to be able to display my postcards but I didn’t want to use up a lot of space to do it. Once I had created the flipper cutting file, I realized that a few changes would turn it into a great Mother’s Day gift as well.
Be sure to watch the video to see how the flipper mechanism is folded and assembled. I also show you how to make custom sized photo flippers in the Inspiration Studio Software. Don’t forget to download the cutting file too. I have given you the files for the card and for the postcard flipper.
Have fun and Happy Mother’s Day!
