Mother's Day card, a Sizzix project

I used a Sizzix die to cut the components for this card for Colton to give to his mommy. It wasn't difficult, but it was time consuming. The most time consuming part may have been selecting 12 photos and scaling them down to size.

The card should have been flatter. I don't know if it was the cardstock I used for the pop up inside, or the rubber bands. I weighted this down overnight but to no avail . A ribbon tie helped.

There are three rubber bands inside this pop up. Directions called for #16 rubber bands....whatever they may be....but I used what I had. I'll look for #16 bands the next time I am in an office supply store.

The hands are a recent punch purchase. I think it will get a lot of use.

The pop up holds 12 photos. I used a heavy duty double sided tape to construct the pop up. That part was easy but the tape did make a mess of my scissors which needed cleaning later.

The pop up rotates, thanks to a base held onto the card by a brad. After photos were added, the pop up was attached to the base by double sided tape.

I will definitely make this card again, but not for just anyone. It was a bit of work and would be costly to mail. Both of Colton's parents loved it, but who wouldn't with Colton as the subject!
