Sports Car Father’s Day

Father’s Day is not that far away now so here is a Father’s Day card idea made with a lovely 3D decoupage green sports car.

Here is the completed card, at the bottom there is a picture taken at an angle to show the decoupage layers.

Green Sports Car Father’s Day Card

Items used to make this card:

  1. 7″x5″ Cream Card Blank
  2. Gold pearlised card
  3. Ivory pearlised card
  4. Die-Cut Decoupage Sheet – Cars
  5. Father’s/Mother’s Day/Brother/Sister Peel Off Sheet – Gold
  6. Woodware Mini Round Brads – Primary
  7. Sticky foam pads and sticky foam tape
  8. Craft knife, pencil, ruler & cutting mat

Directions to make:

Measure and cut out a 16cm x 11cm rectangle from the gold pearlised card and a 15cm x 10cm rectangle from the ivory pearlised card. Layer the ivory rectangle on top of the gold rectangle and secure them together by pushing a mini round green brad through each of the four corners.

Use sticky foam tape to stick the layered pearlised card rectangles onto the centre of the card blank. Turn the card to landscape / tent fold style.

Push all of the image ‘A’ sections out of the decoupage sheet and using sticky foam pads layer them in the correct order onto the centre of the ivory rectangle.

Remove a ‘Happy’, a ‘Father’s’ and a ‘Day’ wording stickers from the gold Father’s/Mother’s Day/Brother/Sister peel off backing sheet and stick the ‘Happy’ above the car to the top left and the ‘Father’s Day’ below the car to the bottom right. You may wish to use a ruler or a straight edge to ensure you apply the words straight.

DAD Card Topper Ideas

I find that cards for men are often harder to come up with new ideas for, so you may well find that these card topper ideas for cards for DAD may come in really useful whether you want to make just one card or a whole batch.

Craft punches allow you to make your own card shapes in the colours and paper or card types of your choice and this gives you greater versatility with your card making and craft projects.

A complete list of the items used to make these various card toppers is listed below:

  1. Woodware super duper square punch
  2. Woodware super star punch
  3. Woodware super gift tag punch
  4. Pearlised card – Gold, Silver, Rioja Red, Evergreen, Regal Blue & Ivory
  5. Gold glitter card
  6. ‘DAD’ wording gold and/or ‘DAD’ wording silver
  7. Burgundy ribbon bows, green ribbon bows, silver ribbon bows & gold ribbon bows
  8. 1.5cm Padded Material Stars – Metallic Gold & 1.5cm Padded Material Stars – Metallic Silver
  9. Red and gold brads from – Woodware Mini Round Brads – Christmas Colours
  10. Sticky foam pads & craft glue

The topper backing squares are made by punching out squares from the pearlised card with the super duper square craft punch. Then gift tag and star shapes are punched out with the super gift tag and super star shape craft punches. These shapes are then are layered onto the backing square shapes using sticky foam pads for a lovely three dimensional look. The ‘DAD’ wording and additional embellishments are attached using craft glue.
