Centre the template on top of the coloured cardstock bingo card and draw lightly around outside edge, with pencil. Then cut out centre of the bingo card, using a black marker and a ruler.

Step 3
Cut piece of contrasting coloured cardstock to 5,5 x 7

Step 4
If you’d like to laminate your piture frame mat, laminate both the bingo card and the 5,5 x 7, coloured cardstock piece separately at this point. Cut out bingo card centre again and trim all outside edges.

Carefully centre and tape the photograph to the back of the bingo card, with photograph facing out from printed side. Centre and glue bingo card to coloured cardstocks. Set aside.
