If you are looking for a whimsical card for Father’s Day, this Zoo Crew Father’s Day Card might do! If you don’t have “official” masculine stamp sets, look through your stash because you will find something you can use! Maybe just change the colors to make a card look more masculine if that’s what you want.
I thought it would be fun to try to make a Father’s Day card using the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper with all its cute, whimsical characters. Depending on who you are giving the card to, the page with the celebratory animals, like for a birthday, might work the best. But if you have a hiker, camper, or outdoorsman, the page with those images would be perfect.
This elephant holding a colorful banner seemed like it would work for a Father’s Day card. I diecut the elephant with a die in the Something Fancy Dies. Then I layered it on two Deckled Rectangle die cuts, one in Pumpkin Pie cardstock and one in Pool Party cardstock.
Once I decided on this scalloped wavy line pattern for the card background, I decided to color each line with a color in the elephant’s banner. I used Stampin’ Blends in Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Lemon Lime Twist, and Pumpkin Pie. I really like the look of the colored lines. The elephant is colored with the Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends.
After layering the elephant and the two rectangle layers together, I popped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. For the greeting, I used one in the Zany Zoo Stamp Set and then die cut with the hexagon shape die in the Something Fancy Dies. I stamped it a little off-center by accident, but since “there are no mistakes in stamping” I just added a few black Classic Matte Dots.
If you need a Father’s Day card for Sunday, you don’t need everything to be masculine and specific for Father’s Day. See what you have and just choose something you can use. It’s the thought that counts!
