Tips When Making Your Fathers Day Greeting Cards

Sometimes choosing the right Fathers Day greeting card is harder than choosing the perfect gift. Will your dad find the card funny or just plain silly? Or, will he be embarrassed by something too mushy? Instead of buying an expensive card that you don't really like, why not design your own card? Even if you aren't an artist, you can still create a beautiful card that will perfectly compliment the gift you give to your special dad. In this article, we'll show you a variety of ways to make Fathers Day cards that show how much you appreciate him.
You don't have to be a mathematician or graphic artist to design a beautiful Fathers Day card. What's important is conveying a personal message to your dad about how much you love and appreciate him. To start, search the internet for web sites like Kaboose that offer templates for Fathers Day greeting cards. You can personalize cards with your own pictures, art, and messages.

These pre-designed cards really make the process simple. If you have an artistic flair, then you can use the templates as a guide but add your own headers, backgrounds, picture frames or fonts. When choosing a card style, select one that matches your fathers day cards. For example, if you purchased tickets to a sporting event, then choose a card shaped like an athlete or a card with your dad's favorite team's logo on the front.
Fathers Day crafts are a fun activity for the kids and dad will love what their imaginations comes up with. There are a number of ways that kids can make cards. Older children who can safely handle scissors can cut out colored pictures of objects or activities that dad enjoys, like gardening, boating or fishing from old greeting cards, magazines and newspapers.

Glue the pictures onto a piece of cardboard or construction paper and use a marker or felt tipped pen to write a message. For a final touch, carefully squeeze a strip of glue along the edges of the card and add glitter, beads, macaroni or even buttons for a fancy border. For younger children, use stickers or stamps instead of cutting out pictures.

There are a number of paper choices for your dad's card but any heavy paper like construction paper or Bristol board will do. You can purchase pre-folded paper or simply buy some card stock and fold it yourself. Use a ruler to get a nice, sharp fold. If you want to make an envelope, then just make sure that the card will fit inside. You can decorate the envelope with the same materials that you used on the card or use some metallic ribbon to attach the envelope to the gifts for father.

Keeping your dad's favorite things in mind is the key to designing a great Fathers Day greeting card. It can be related to sports, music, nature, cars or anything that he loves doing. Of course, you can never go wrong with family pictures. Try a few different designs and messages until you get the look and feel you want. Your dad will appreciate the time and effort you put into making a card that is as unique as he is.
