Just for Dad


Remember the pocket cards I made a couple of weeks ago that held teabags? (see below)


I decided to make a Father's Day card with reds, which is one of my husband's favorite colors. For a tutorial and measurements see Tea With Alice.  Instead of dividing the pocket into two sections, I left it as one longer slot so a gift card would fit inside.


  • Basic Grey, Girls Paperie and DCWV card stock
  • Barn Door Distress Ink
  • CropADile and eyelets
  • label maker and black tape
Unfortunately, all the iTunes cards were pink and purple so they do not coordinate! Oh, well~ The front of the card has a quote about fatherhood on it, and I also stamped the envelope the card will be given in.


The greatest thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.

My husband is thoughtful, selfless and generous. This quote was meant for him! College Girl also made him a card...but this one is for his silly side ~

  5. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!! I love how this turned out and I am going to try to work some more with brown/paper colours in stead of always pink and red liked colours, but this will be a challenge for me!

    Love from The Netherlands,
