My mom celebrated her first birthday as a Great Gramma last year, so I thought she might enjoy an Instacube card where I could showcase photos of her new great granddaughter.
Little Evie and her mom and dad had just come for a visit a couple months before my mom's birthday so the timing was just right to get photos for her card.
Used a photo of Evie on the top of the cube and photos of her with her great gramma, gramma & grampa, and her mom & dad on three sides of the cube. Our birthday sentiment went on the fourth side of the cube.
As with all Instacube cards, this rubber band activated card folds flat to slip into a sleeve. I decorated the sleeve for mom's card very simply by using a print and cut image from Miss Kate's Cuttables and adhering it to the front with foam adhesive. Honestly, mom didn't seem too surprised or impressed about the pop-open action of her Instacube birthday card, but she definitely seemed pleased about the photos...that's good enough for me!
Oh, what a lovely pop up card/photo cube gift! After a certain age grandmas and great grandmas really appreciate real photos which can be displayed and looked at all day. You made the perfect card even if she didn't appreciate the paper engineering involved. 😏
ReplyDeleteI think your mom is just a little bit "spoiled" after seeing all of your extraordinary creations, lol, but you can bet she appreciated your photo cube! What a wonderful keepsake!
