Of course, this wouldn’t be a Designs By Miss Mandee card without a little interactive element, now would it? So, for this design, I decided to incorporate the “printing” capability of a Polaroid camera into the card by allowing the recipient to pull out a long strip of paper from the mouth of the camera. This is a great way to add a personalized message, or even include a few small photos into your card!
This is a pretty straightforward, layered card (with the exception of the little inside pocket that holds the “photo paper” in place); but, if you have any trouble putting it together, be sure to check out my short assembly video on Instagram (coming soon!).
I use Adobe Illustrator for all of my designs, and a Cricut Maker to bring my creations to life. For tips on creating fun paper cuts like this one, see the FAQ section on my website. Also, be sure to check out the other fun freebies available on my blog!
Enjoy putting this retro Polaroid camera card together. And don’t forget to share your cute finished project with me on Instagram!
