Father’s Day is Sunday, June 16th! Do you have a card ready? This Bright & Beautiful Father’s Day Card is an easy one for you. But that’s not a Father’s Day card, you might say, because it doesn’t say “Happy Father’s Day” on the front. If you don’t have that exact greeting, there are many others you can use for the important father in your life! Just look through your stash! Even just a “Celebrate” or “Love” will do just fine. I pulled out this Circle Sayings Stamp Set, forgetting that it retired recently, but that’s okay because it illustrates how you can use another kind of greeting for a Father’s Day card.

I looked through some of my designer papers, and decided this Bright & Beautiful 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper would make a good card for a father. There were several different papers I considered using but I settled on this one with little blue stars and a solid blue background.

The card base is Blueberry Bushel cardstock, one of the several blues that goes with these papers. I cut the solid blue designer paper at 5 1/4″ x 4″ for a layer, and then I just added two rectangles of the stars paper to two corners. Those two rectangles are cut at 2″ x 2 5/8″. Yes, that took some math! Half the width of 4″ and half the length of 5 1/4″.

If you made a card design like this, you could stamp a greeting and cut out with a rectangle shape or with a die. I used several circle punches but you could use circle dies. Whatever works for the greeting you want to use and the size. For my greeting, I have a background circle of Blueberry Bushel and then the center circle is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I had also added some Blueberry Bushel Stampin’ Write Marker around the edge just to give it a tiny bit of color to help it stand out.

I thought I was finished, but I decided to add a bow. I took the Lemon Lolly Baker’s Twine in the Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack and colored it with the Dark Blueberry Bushel Stampin’ Blend marker and adhered it with a Mini Glue Dot.

If you like this card, you could use it for another occasion besides Father’s Day! It’s a good design, easy to make, and you can add any greeting and use any designer paper to make it!
