How to Create a Polaroid Photo Greeting Card

May 25, 2025 by Heather Holbrook

As scrapbookers we are always snapping photos to include on our layouts but we should also be sharing them in other ways with family and friends to cherish and remember. So let’s take those photos off the page and onto a personalized photo card that uses some of our scrapbooking products and techniques for a card everyone will treasure.

Laura used a brand new kit from Simon Says Stamp called “Capture Joy” that features stamps and die for creating our own retro inspired Polaroid pictures. She stamped and die cut the Polariod frames twice, adding stamped sentiments and tucking the photos behind. She created her own beautiful rainbow background for the card with thin strips of colored cardstocks. There’s also a heat embossed white sentiment die cut from teal paper too.

Watch her video tutorial over at the Simon Says Stamp blog.

80’s Inspired Boombox Shaped Mini Album

I was a teen in the 80’s so this totally rad Boombox shaped mini album from Traci really speaks to me! She created a rectangle shaped black acrylic album with rounded corners, adding buttons and a handle on the top with a cover decorated to look like a real boombox with speakers, a tape deck, buttons and more. She used the Totally 80’s collection of products from Simple Stories that has lots of bright pink and teal colors with cool 80’s inspired patterns like black and white check and colorful graphics. There’s also load of fun embellishments like a Walkman, high top sneakers, retro TV, camera, hair spray can and more. 

I had huge hair in the 80’s and am embarrassed to admit how much Aquanet hair spray I used!

Traci has included her totally tubular signature flaps and pockets in the album too for some radical interactive elements too.

Visit the Artsy Album blog to learn more about this bodacious mini album project.
