Father’s Day is coming soon on Sunday, June 15th so it’s time to make a special card for a special father in your life. Here’s an easy Father’s Day card you can make with this beautiful scenic paper. Just add a greeting and you have a nice card, the Beautiful Gallery Happy Father’s Day Card.
I chose a paper in the Beautiful Gallery 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. There are several choices you could make on the paper that would be similar to this card. I loved the orangish sky in the background behind the scenic hills and mountains with a little stream coming down next to the tree. I cut this paper at the usual size – 4″ x 5 1/4″ for the front of the card, but I decided to add a layer of Peach Pie cardstock (one of the In Colors continuing on this year from last year) behind the designer paper to accent that orange sky. That cardstock is cut at 4 1/8″ x 5 3/4″ which makes for a very narrow margin around the edges. The card base is Early Espresso. I tried out several colors before I settled on this dark brown color.
The greeting is an ephemera piece in the Greetings For All Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. That makes it easy! No stamping necessary! If you didn’t have an official Father’s Day stamp or this ephemera pack, you could certainly choose another greeting from your stash! Something about love, being awesome, being incredible, you are special….anything along those lines will surely convey your feelings and you can write “Happy Father’s Day” inside the card. I trimmed down this greeting just very slightly to make it a tiny bit smaller on the card and even sponged a little Peach Pie ink on the greeting to take away some of the bright white. Probably Crumb Cake or another brown would have looked good too. This ephemera pack is “currently unavailable” but you can check off that you want to be notified when it comes back into stock if you like.
This Beautiful Gallery DSP is something special with its old-world art gallery look. You can make the paper into cards or projects or simply add to a picture frame for some home decor! Here’s another card I made using a different patterned paper in that package, but in a slimline style. Notice how it does not have a “Father’s Day” greeting on the front, but the greeting it does have would be perfectly suitable.
