Last Minute Father’s Day Card

Hi everyone!! In case you forgot… like me… that this Sunday is Father’s Day.

This month has gone by so fast and this holiday just snuck up on me. So, while Daddy is at work… time to make a quick card, with kiddo’s help! It is from him, after all. :)

Supplies I used for my card:

  • Lil Dude by Jennifer Fox, Nikki Epperson, and Melissa Bennett, available at The DigiChick
  • card stock
  • adhesive
  • scissors

Lil Dude

    1. Design the card in your editing program and print out.

    2. I like to layer my papers and mat with black paper… optional.

    3. Trace the hand of your willing assistant and cut out the shape. If your child is too young to sit still, you could always paint their hand and stamp it on paper. Another option in place of pattern paper is to have the child decorate the hand shape with markers and glitter.

    4. Place two foam dots on the middle and ring fingers…. this will create the I love you sign in American Sign Language.

    5. Fold down the two fingers to the palm.

    6. Decorate the inside of the card.

    7. And finally, the card isn’t complete until it is signed.

    This will be a card that will be treasured for years to come!

    I’ll have to remember the black paper trick – I hate flat looking cards even when they are really layered – gives it such a pop! Oh….and LOVE the “willing” assistant part LOL

    Great idea! I love the matting with black card stock! I think I’m going to do that with my hybrid stuff from now on. Looks so nice!
