Since we are going to be traveling on Father’s Day, we celebrated Father’s Day a week early. I bought my husband a Father’s Day card from me, but I wanted Buddy to be able to give his dad a homemade card. There’s just something extra special about a homemade card, especially when it’s from a child.

I’m including a copy of our template in case you want to make your own Father’s Day photo card.

Dad photo card template

Here is what you’ll need:

• A printed copy of our template
• Two 8.5″ x 11″ pieces of cardstock
• Three 4″ x 6″ photos
• Scotch tape
• Double sided tape
• Scissors
• Permanent marker
• *Optional * – paint and paintbrush

Directions:

1. Print the template and cut it out.
2. Trace the template on one piece of cardstock. (I did this with permanent marker.) 
3. Cut out the design on the cardstock.
4. Use scotch tape to tape the photos in place and trim to fit.
5. Fold the second piece of cardstock in half vertically (hot dog style).
6. Place the folded cardstock behind the DAD photo card. Line up the bottoms of both pieces of cardstock. Trace the DAD card on the folded card.
7. Cut the folded card so that the extra parts of the card won’t show behind the DAD card.
8. Use double sided tape to tape the DAD card to the folded cardstock.
9. *Optional* Paint the child’s hand and put inside card. (I actually did this first before I folded and cut the cardstock, but if I did it again, I would do it last.)
10. Use permanent marker to write a message inside card.

Here’s what the final product looked like:

I hope you have a wonderful Father’s Day celebrating the important fathers and father figures in your life. Hubby loved his card, and I hope your dad will too. If you make this card, I’d love to see a picture!
