Best Year Happy Father’s Day Card

I made a Happy Father's Day card using the Best Year Stamp Set! Due to COVID-19 restrictions my dad Phil did not get to share the day with his family but at least I could send him a card to tell him how much he really means to me!

Happy Father's Day Card using the Best Year Stamp Set

This week I'm showcasing the amazing sentiments in the Best Year Cling Stamp Set. I've chosen this stamp set because it has 11 versatile sentiments that can be stamped on the outside or inside of cards. It can be found on page 133 of Annual Stampin' Up!® Catalogue.

I've used two of the sentiments for my Father's Day card: ‘TO THE WORLD YOU ARE A DAD, TO ME YOU ARE THE WORLD' is on the front of my card and ‘HAPPY FATHER'S DAY' has been stamped on the inside.

The Layers for my card:

  • Card base: Pretty Peacock cardstock (10.5cm x 29.8cm) then scored at 14.9cm
  • Card layer: Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (9.8cm x 14cm)
  • Insert: Shimmery White Cardstock (10cm x 14.2cm)
    • The ‘Happy Father's Day' sentiment was stamped with Pretty Peacock ink
    • I've adhered a left over strip (1.2cm x 10cm) of Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper to the bottom of the insert with Stampin' SEAL.
