If you need a Father’s Day card on Sunday and you have the Tailored Tag Punch, you can make a fun card like this Tailored Tag Punch Father’s Day Wood Tile Card.  I don’t know who thought of this idea of using the Tailored Tag Punch like this, but it is perfect for a Father’s Day card or any masculine card.

The card base is Early Espresso but the pieces are also layered on a piece of Early Espresso. I used the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack for the paper punched with the Tailored Tag Punch to make the “wood tiles”.  You can start anywhere placing the punched pieces.  Just leave a little bit of space in between each of them to form your pattern.  For the very small spaces around the edges, you can just punch an end in the punch and glue onto the Early Espresso piece.  It’s easiest if you let the pieces hang off the edge and trim them later when placing them so you don’t have to cut smaller pieces.

Choose the pieces so they contrast or whatever effect you are going for.  I just chose different shades of the wood colored paper and kind of balanced them out.

For the greeting, I stamped the banner from Thoughtful Banners and then added the words, slightly curved, onto the block.  Luckily, they just fit!  When I punched the banner, stamped on Whisper White, it left a fair amount of white space, so I trimmed that off, which narrowed the banner, then I could punch out an Early Espresso banner on which to layer the stamped banner. It still needed something, so I grabbed a piece of 5/8″ Burlap Ribbon which I loosened up a bit by pulling off the two outer large threads.  It just adds a little texture to the card.

With the Tailored Tag Punch you could make a card with a bowtie like this one!

You could use other cardstock or other papers for the tiling. Let your imagination go! And change the greeting for whatever occasion.  But if you need a Father’s Day card idea, try this Tailored Tag Punch Father’s Day Wood Tile Card.
