We love this gorgeous card from US based company, Stampin' Up!. Men can be tricky to craft for, but hopefully we've given you plenty of ideas in issue 8 for Father's Day this Sunday! Get some inspiration from this one too – the text background, colours, ribbon and slide are all fab, and you can personalise it easily to show dad how much you care. Try incorporating a photo to capture a special moment you shared or include a meaningful quote inside the card.
