C.R.A.F.T. # 51: Father’s Day Card

This is a great father’s day card for kids to make! Here was the original handmade father’s day card inspiration:  
Father's Day Card
 
I made a slightly more grown up version. Well, I actually made 2.  One for my dad and one for the BF’s dad.
I used 2 note cards, skinny markers, one piece of card stock, and a black pen.  I made it the good ol’ fashioned way!
Father's Day Card
My dads name came up in the first 3 spots of the google search for world’s best dad! If google says so… it must be true! Note: The last google search is an error. I fixed it before I gave it to him! Clearly, it should say husband, instead of wife, ha! The hardest part of this card is going to be tracking down all the sponsored links siblings to sign it!

Psst… See 3 more versions of the google Father’s Day card from other crafty bloggers! And here is a free printable Google card!

  5. Aw, this is a great idea! So clever and adorable. I bet both dads will love it.

    Thank you for participating in the Craft Therapy Session over at Life in the Pitts.

  6. Too cute. I think there might be a typo though.. or am I reading it wrong? Does it say he is "wife to a crazy lady who can't sit down"?

    • I noticed that too! I think it was meant to say “Husband to a crazy lady who can’t sit down”. It made me laugh when I saw it, but I’m sure it was an honest mistake. I love the card though.

  7. Just popping over from Life in the PItts…
