Father's Day | June 17th

Just like moms, we wouldn't be here without our dads too.  And while a card isn't a new tool, new car, or other new toy, it is still sending your love to one of the most important guys in your life. 
Father's Day Love
 To make the card: 
  1. Cut a plain color of card stock to fit your envelope.
  2. With a base paper, cut a rectangle out just shy of your card's front size.
  3. Cut a strip of stripped card stock that matches your base paper.
  4. Using a paper cutting machine, or a steady hand and stencil, cut out your "DaD" letters.
  5. Using a paper cutting machine, or a steady hand and stencil, cut out another set of "DaD" slightly smaller than the ones cut in step four. 
  6. Attach step five letters to step four letters and then attach to card.
  7. Like step four, cut out "No" in a paper that will "pop" off your base paper and attach. 
  8. using the hole from one of the "D" top paper layer, attach to card right after "No".
  9. Like steps four and five, cut out a number one of substantial side in comparison to your other letters and then attach like step six.
  10. On the inside of the card, cut out a complimentary paper in a rectangle to serve as a mat.
  11. Cut out an ivory colored rectangle slightly smaller than your mat and poke holes in each corner. To make the holes, use a tooth pick, needle, awl, something sharp.  Punch holes on a piece of cork so it does not damage your table or work surface. 
  12. Use brads/tacks that compliment the color pallet of the card and insert in the punched holes.  
  13. Attach message your ivory colored rectangle to your mat created in step ten.
  14. Write your message, put in your envelopes, attach a stamp, give it a quick kiss and send it off.
