Oh boy are we lucky today because we have not one but two ways to learn how to make a Father’s Day card that will WOW anyone who sees them.
When Preeti sent these over she called them “clean and simple” and while they are in terms of design, each of them features a super fun little secret that gives them both that extra little oomph that can be hard to add to a masculine card. It’s not like you can stick a bow or some glitter on it in most cases!
Read through to the end for a little bonus!
Preeti chose just a couple of colors from the patterned paper she used keeping the look clean and simple but with loads of visual interest thanks to her arrangement of the “spilled” tools and her artful coloring of the tool box. The speech bubble for the sentiment was hand drawn to look whimsical and funky using a pencil and fussy cut with scissors. As handy as die cuts are, sometimes adding that randomness of hand cutting can be just the thing to echo movement on a card.
Preeti’s second card is a little more complex: it is an interactive shutter card. Here’s a peek at the outside with the belly band she used to help keep it closed to hold back the surprise.
The image above shows the inside of the gate fold card and how the elements are revealed inside the shutter. It makes it easier to see and understand how this card works when you watch the video.
WAIT!!! There’s a video???Yes! Preeti has made a video for us showing how she made not one but BOTH of these awesome cards! We will post it tomorrow so be sure to come back and check it out!
