Making handmade cards for a dad is always a challenge. There are only so many topics you can hit before you have to repeat yourself. Sure you can do a camping design:
or focus on the grill:
or play up their love of golf:
or if they’re a beer or soda lover, make them a can cake:
and then what? This year I decided to play on something all dads seem to enjoy: puns!
For my dad, I went with a bear sticker (black bears are very popular where I grew up) and a “Beary Best Dad” phrasing.
For my Father-In-Law, who has been known to strum a tune on a guitar, I made a “You Rock” themed card.
Both cards used my layered scraps with punched edges techniques seen on my “Use Your Stash: Monkey Business” Post.
Happy Father’s Day Dad and Jim!
Supplies: Patterned Paper: K&Company | Stickers: Jolee’s Boutique | Punches: EK Tools, Stampin’ Up, Martha Stewart Crafts
