Handprint Father’s Day Idea & Card


I can’t believe we’re already into the middle of June and Father’s Day is just around the corner. My little guy is so close to my Dad, his Pop Pop, and each year I give Dad a Father’s Day present from Cory.

This year, Cory's giving Dad a painted set of handprints:


This project was really quick and easy to make.  You just need black acrylic paint, heavy cardstock, alphas and a willing toddler.  I painted my son's hands then he stamped them on cardstock.  It's best to do this right before bathtime.  Just sayin'. I got the idea for this project from pinterest.


Last year, Cory gave Dad a green tie:

 
And I’m giving Dad this card:


Which was published last month in PaperCrafts magazine's Card Creations:


How about your kids? What are you working on for Father’s Day?

Linking handprint project to Tip Me Tuesday here.

  5. Love the handprint idea, and the saying that goes with it. I wonder if Alexa would cooperate for this? LOL! The tie idea is adorable too. When I saw the card you're giving your dad, my first though was, "This should be published!" and it was!! Congratulations on the publication. It's a wonderful masculine card!!

  13. That was a great idea with the handprings. My kids are very grown up now, but I remember Thanksgiving cards making turkey's out of their hand prints. Great card.

  14. Very nice! To be honest, we're not doing a Father's Day project. Not because Daddy and both Grandpas aren't awesome, but because we're up to our eyeballs in homemade thank-you notes (and still exhausted from Lego crafts!). We always do a bunch of homemade stuff for Mother's Day, but the males get short-changed due to the crazy-for-us time of year.
