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:
- Woodware super duper square punch
- Woodware super star punch
- Woodware super gift tag punch
- Pearlised card – Gold, Silver, Rioja Red, Evergreen, Regal Blue & Ivory
- Gold glitter card
- ‘DAD’ wording gold and/or ‘DAD’ wording silver
- Burgundy ribbon bows, green ribbon bows, silver ribbon bows & gold ribbon bows
- 1.5cm Padded Material Stars – Metallic Gold & 1.5cm Padded Material Stars – Metallic Silver
- Red and gold brads from – Woodware Mini Round Brads – Christmas Colours
- 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.
