Another great feature of Storyboard That is creating cards! Use the amazing scenes, characters, and items to make a card that celebrates Mother’s Day.
Storyboards of any layout can be converted into a folding card, but only the first three cells will appear. Titles and descriptions are not printed on the card, so use text boxes inside the cell if you want to include text.
There you have it! A Storyboard That Mother's Day card perfect for showing Mom how much you care!

Student Instructions
Create a three-cell storyboard for a greeting card!
Cell 2 is the left inside page.
Cell 3 is the back of the card.
After you save your storyboard, click "Make a Folding Card."
The right inside page is a pre-selected message. Choose the artwork and message that works best for you!
Print out pop-up image, and fold.
Hold the paper so the front of the card is right-side-up in the bottom right corner. Then, fold the paper in half away from you (you should see the back of the card on the left and the front of the card on the right). Fold the paper again so you only see the front.
Don't forget to sign your card!
Enhance your Mother’s Day cards by adding student photos to make them truly unique. Upload a photo to the storyboard, crop as needed, and position it in any cell. This adds a special, memorable element moms will cherish!
Facilitate a quick class brainstorm of sweet, meaningful messages students can include in their cards. Write a list on the board and encourage each student to choose or adapt one that fits their relationship with their mom or caregiver.
Invite students to think beyond flowers! Suggest backgrounds that reflect their mom’s interests—like gardens, books, or favorite colors—using the scene library. Personalized details make the card more special.
Demonstrate how to fold and assemble the card step-by-step so everyone can follow along. Hold up your sample, show each fold slowly, and check that students are matching your steps for a polished final product.
Organize a class event where students can present their cards or write about their favorite part of the project. This builds confidence and celebrates creativity before the cards go home.
