NOTE 1: the example used in this tutorial includes 2 frames cut into the centre pages for including photographs. I have endeavoured to be as comprehensive as possible but if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Producing this tutorial has also been a labour of love. I have made these predominantly for the arrival of new babies, but have also adapted them for other special occasions such as weddings, confirmations and special birthdays. It is something of a labour of love, requiring a significant amount of time and patience to create, but the end results are worth it. This type of card has been a firm favourite with my friends, relatives and customers. ![]()
