The Big Guy
Every Big Guy has his favorite lounger, and this card celebrates that fact. Combine brown card stock, jumbo-size brads, and a clever central image to let Dad know that he can relax on his special day.
Editor's tip: The lounger/TV stamp is used on solid and patterned papers to create shapes for the shirt, chair, and rug. The shapes are then cut out and adhered to the basic rubber-stamped design. In this version, the jeans, shoes, and TV are colored in with markers.

All About the Paper
Choose a boldly patterned paper for the background of your card. Then stamp a logo such as "completely loved" and used a circle cutter to create a brand-like look. Finish it off with a small piece of ribbon attached to the bottom of the card using a staple.

Make a Waterfall Card
Create the look of this waterfall card. Start by cutting a 9x2-inch inch piece of paper (piece A). Score Piece A at 2 inches, 2-3/4 inches, 3-1/2 inches, and 4-1/4 inches. Attach Piece B (3/4x4inches) to the front of the card using eyelets or brads (don't use adhesive because the card won't slide). Attach the scored end of Piece A to the center and top of Piece B. The unscored portion will slide under Piece B to create the waterfall effect.

Create a Fishy Masterpiece
To create this card, start by letting your little ones splatter finger paint on a sheet of white paper. Fold the sheet in half, allowing the paint to smear together to create the beautiful colors of the fish. Allow the paint to dry overnight. Use a stamp or draw fish onto the smeared paper and let your kids cute them out. Tear blue paper to create the waves and the sun. For extra sparkle, top it off with glitter glue.
