For the Dad you loves to work on cars Catherine’s created an amazing garage scene by combining lots of different stamp sets. The little stamped mice are working on a cute red die cut car surrounded by tools, tires, shelves of supplies. I love the details of the brick wall, splattered floor and scalloped awning, so clever! Find all the details at the Lawn Fawn blog.
It’s almost time to let our Dad’s and all the Father figures in our lives know how much we love and appreciate them. One of the best ways to let someone know how much they mean to you is by creating a heartfelt handmade card just for them. Make your Father’s Day cards personal by including things your Dad enjoys doing like sports, travel, grilling, gardening, etc. Whatever your Dad is in to there’s stamps, dies, stencils and paper that will help you create the perfect personalized card. Here’s some ideas to inspire that special card for those special guys.
For the dapper Dad who loves to dress up here’s a fun shirt card. On the clean white base there’s die cut rainbow suspenders with gold metallic clips, a shirt collar with a purple bow tie and the large stamped sentiment. Find more stylish ideas at the Hero Arts blog.
For a guy who likes to scuba dive or loves amphibians is this beautiful design from Andrea. She’s glazed, splattered and stenciled the wonderful ocean background, adding clear gems for bubbles along with the darling Father and baby stamped sea turtles and large die cut and stamped sentiment. These products can be found at Picket Fence Studio.
For the guy who is a grill master comes this yummy card from Tracy using stamps from Purple Onion/ My Favorite Things. This darling animal family is enjoying a day outside grilling with a stamped bear, hedgehog and fox under a glittery sun on plaid and striped pattern papers with stamped sentiment. I spotted this idea on her Craft with Me 101 Instagram page.
For the sports fanatic is a fun foam finger card. This die cut design has an arm with the finger die cut from bold red with a white outline (use his favorite team colors), it’s over layered diamond shapes reminiscent of a baseball diamond and a heat embossed sentiment in white on dark blue cardstock. Find more sporty card ideas at the Spellbinders blog.
Change the birthday sentiment to Father’s Day on Laurie’s card and it’s ideal for the gearhead Dad who loves to drive or work on cars. She used lots of metallic cardstocks for the dry embossed textured “metal” layer and die cut gears and cogs. There’s also a speedometer and lots of fun stamped sentiments. This card also has elements that pop out and fold for a cool display. Find directions at the Stamp with Laurie blog.
A trendy faux postage stamp card leaves lots of space to include loads of things Dad enjoys like sports, grilling, reading and relaxing. This layered stenciled design creates realistic looking designs with coordinating dies to cut the perforations and stamps for cancelation and cents. These products are from Waffle Flower.
For the fisherman Amy’s used different rectangles of pattern papers to create a cool patterned background, tying twine with a stamped bobber and die cut flag with stamped sentiment too. Also the card base has a nice rope dry embossed texture added as well. Find more details at the Stamp with Amy K blog.
Kelly’s wonderful design has vintage inspiration with pops of gold. There’s a die cut “torn” and inked paper layer with a frame, lined paper with a die cut and stamped sentiment combo held down with a metallic paper clip. The case (with metallic buckles) could be for travel or work related and there’s another word strip with gold embossing. Take a closer look at the Papertrey Ink blog.
For the outdoorsman is this stunning woodland and deer scene card from Rick. He combined alcohol markers and colored pencils to color in this beautiful stamp design. To add some simple texture he scored lines after the stamping and coloring, this is easily done with a scoring board and bone folder. Find all the info at the Unity Stamp blog.
For the guy who loves music is Carissa’s card with a cool retro die cut radio. She included a colorful striped background, lots of music notes floating around and a large layered sentiment with another gold “thanks” to let Dad know you appreciate him. Take a closer peek at the Concord and 9th blog.
And for the guy who loves to golf Christine has a very funny design. She started with pre-printed scene paper, stamping the sentiments on it in black ink, then added the frame with inking added and a die cut golfer and bag, all on a rust card base that matches the trees. Find directions at the Brass and Bliss blog.
I hope you’ve found the perfect inspiration to make that perfect personal card for Dad!
