I will have to say that Instagram is probably my favorite app on my phone! I’m not a professional photographer nor do I want to be one, but I just LOVE taking pictures! Its such a fun app to play around with and create one of a kind photos.

I found a great step by step tutorial by House of Smith’s to print your Instagram photos. You can find that link here. I used the printing company House of Smith recommended…Persnickety Prints. They are based out of Utah. Let me me just say how awesome they are! I placed my order late last Tuesday evening, and by Wednesday the Instagram photo order was printed and shipped. And I received the photos on Saturday (here in Southern Illinois). I order fifteen 2 x 2 pictures that had a 1/2 inch white border for nearly next to nothing. I will definitely be using Persnickety Prints again!
So now that I had my Instagram photos, I wanted to make some cards with them. I bought some awesome scrapbook paper and embellishments from Simple Stories awhile back at Michael’s. The collection is called Sn@p! Life. I love the bright colors and funky patterns.
I used the 6 x 6 paper pad, cardstock stickers and pockets all from the Sn@p! collection to create six fun cards.
All I did was make six cards from white cardstock. Then I adhered a piece of paper from the paper pad to the cardstock. I embellished the cards with the stickers and placed the Instagram photos into the pockets, clipped them the clothes pins and adhered them to the cards. Done! These cards were SO much fun to make. I love how they turned out!
If you love your Instagram photos as much as I do, I would totally recommended making a craft project like these cards. You can either share the cards with friends and family or keep them for yourselves and display them in a frame on on your mantle.
Have fun!!!
Great Project. I love the idea of printing my Instagram photos and making them into cards. ;o)
