Hello, my friends! I love my son-in-law so much that I made him another Father’s Day card. It is called a Little Angel Father’s Day Card because it features the Whimsy Stamps Little Angel Father digital image.
Happy Father’s Day to the fathers who make a difference in a child’s life and are supportive, a pillar of strength, and help to ensure an end result of a well-adjusted child. My special son-in-law is one of those fathers. He exudes love for his daughter and is a great role model. His time with his daughter is of utmost importance to him, and he ensures he has time with her on a daily basis. He does not role cast her; he introduces her to tools, fishing, and other “male” activities. His daughter is 3 years old, and she LOVES her daddy! I am very proud to call him my son-in-law (SIL) and I think he is an exemplary and great father.
This is one of the cards I made for him for Father’s Day. It’s On The Fly Father’s Day Card that features the old Stampin’ Up! On The Fly stamp set. He is an avid fisherman! The card is a Step Ladder Center Cut card, and I posted a tutorial on making this style of card in my last post.
Did you know that Monday was the National Bow Tie Day? I did not know until it was brought to my attention by a Clean and Simple Challenge on Splitcoaststampers.com. The hostess challenged us to create cards with bows, and it was up to us to interpret the challenge. Well, I created this Shirt and Bow Tie Card and submitted it to the challenge.
This card is a masculine card and could be given for Father’s Day, New Year’s Day, Birthdays, and many other occasions. The card is quite simple to make. I simply used a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of white card stock, measured and marked at the 1″ mark down from the top of the paper, and cut toward the center on both ends, leaving about an inch uncut.
I folded the cut portions to form a collar for the shirt. I added the bow tie, buttons, and suspenders (i.e., ribbon) down both sides. I attached this to a Houndstooth embossed card base. How simple!!

Are you looking for a design for a Father’s Day Card? I suggest a side-step card with masculine elements. That was my choice for my card, “CottageCutz Happy Father’s Day Card“. Why did I title my card, CottageCutz Happy Father’s Day Card? Because I used several CottageCutz masculine dies to create my card. The Scrapping Cottage, the maker of CottageCutz dies, has so many wonderful dies from which to chose for any occasion. Check out its on-line store and blog.
The CottageCutz dies I used to create my card are the Fishing Pole & Boat Die, Jeep Die, Campfire Clothesline Die, Woodlands Dies, Rustic Sign & Trees Die, and Spring Grass Die. These and other dies used are listed near the end of this post.
I was feeling lazy when I made my card, so instead of cutting card stock and scoring it manually to form my card base, I used the Our Daily Bread Designs Side Step Card Die to create my side-step card base from white card stock. Then I cut a 3-1/2″ x 4″ piece of white card stock to attach to the back step of the base. Using various inks, I sponged the sky, water, and grass areas.
For the back step of the card, I die cut the fishing pole and boat from white card stock, colored the pieces with Copic Sketch Markers, glue together the pieces, and attached them to the step.
For the second step, I die cut the tent and flag with the Campfire Clothesline Die and from red, brown, and tan card stock; glued the pieces together; and attached them to the step. For the first step, I die cut from white card stock the jeep, colored the pieces with Copic Sketch Markers, and set aside. I used the Spring Grass die to cut from green card stock several pieces of grass and attached them to the three steps. Using the Lawn Fawn Road Border Dies, I cut the road from gray and yellow card stock, glued them together, and attached onto the first step. Then I attached the Jeep.
Using the Rustic Sign & Trees Die, I die cut the tree on the left side of the card with green and brown card stock, attached the pieces together, and added to the card base. I then die cut the sign from the Woodlands Dies, colored it with Copic Sketch Markers, added foam tape to the back, and attached it in front of the tree. That finished my card.
I love the card! What do you think of it?
God’s Blessings!

“My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.”
Yesterday I posted a photo of the Father’s Day card I made for my son-in-law. I asked for viewers to guess what the card represents. I gave you a clue that it is something that most men want in their garage! Here’s the photo again.
Thanks to those who emailed me their guess! The photo below will definitely give you the answer.
It’s a 3-drawer tool cabinet! When you pull open the first drawer (or pull down…lol), you see tools that most men, and women, will use: hammer, nail, measuring tape, and drill. I certainly use these tools regularly!
When you pull open the second drawer, you’ll see a bolt, mallet, and channel-lock tongue and grove pliers.
Pulling open the third drawer, you’ll see a screwdriver, wrench, and needle nose pliers.
The three drawers and their contents are on the front part of the card and the inside contains my Happy Father’s Day greetings. I die cut and colored with copics the tools in the cabinet. The tools die cuts are from Our Daily Bread Designs Workshop Tools and Tool Time die sets.
Just for the record, my son-in-law LOVED the card. I hope you enjoyed it and will leave any questions or comments in the comments section or send me an email! Have a great day!
