Stuck To You Father’s Day Card

Hello there =)

Father’s Day is right around the corner and nothing says “I love you dad” like a homemade card.  I wanted to keep this card simple, sweet with a little bit of awww factor and a touch of how dad would do it.  Shall we?

Supplies Used

• DCWV paper in The Weekend Neutrals
• Sheet of blue vellum
• Changito Knee Hugger stamp by Stampendous!
• StazOn black ink
• Adhesive
• Corner rounders (not shown)

I selected a nice wood grain piece of card stock from the pack.  Cut to the length and width of a spare envelope I had laying around.  Rounded the corners because all paper seems to be nicer rounded.  Then I folded it in half.

[Tweet “All paper is nicer when the corners are rounded”]

I cut a piece of the blue vellum to fit in the center of my card.  Rounded the corners then got to stamping.

I love this monkey stamp.  I bought a few different ones from the same line just because.  Finally getting to use them =)  I did a few practice stamps on scrap paper before I ventured on to my vellum.  Do you practice stamp?

Just about done!  Now to affix the vellum to the cardstock.  Normally I use a tape runner to adhere everything, but with vellum you would see it and it would look awful.  Just awful.

What would dad do…?

DUCT TAPE!

Duct tape fixes everything ;)  This card was no exception; it was the perfect tape to get the job done.  This is one homemade card dad will appreciate and love!  All that’s left to do is add a message inside and sign it.

Did you make cards for Father’s Day?  I’d love to see them!
