DAD Card

Father’s Day is coming up and today we’re sharing a really simple idea for a card for dad.

All you need is patterned paper, cardstock in the colour card you want to make and one for a layer, glue, letters to trace, and scissors.

First of all find some letters that you can trace and cut out. We are using the Silhouette to cut our letters, but if you don’t have one, no worries, just find letters in Word and in the font and size you want and print and cut them out to trace.

Pick a colour for your card first. We chose a dark brown for our card colour as it matches the patterns that we like. We made the card our regular 6 ¾ x 4 ¾ inches.

Now choose a layer the top. We went with Kraft as it matches the card and pattern well. On this layer, you are going to using a cutting machine to cut out or trace on top and cut out, the letters DAD. Our card is vertical but if you want to do a horizontal one, then that works too.

Pick one pattern or multiple patterns to put behind your DAD. Our letters are roughly 1 ½ x 1 ½ inches in size. We are using the same pattern for the top and bottom letter so we just glued one strip down for both and then a small piece of different pattern paper to go under the A. If you’re using multiple patterns then you can glue pieces of each behind the letters.

Now glue the top layer onto the card and you’re done.

We left ours blank inside but you can stamp or print words on the inside if you like.

Soooooo simple, but a really neat looking card for your dad this Father’s Day.
