Fathers Day greeting cards are big business. A look on the back of one will tell you why! Even a simple card can be quite expensive, and the cost can add up when you have a spouse, parents, grandparents, and extended family to buy cards for.

Why spend the money when you can make a funny, sentimental card to compliment your gift for dad? This personalized touch is a lovely way to show you care.

You don’t have to be a mathematician or graphic artist to design a beautiful Fathers Day card. What’s important is conveying a personal message to your dad about how much you love and appreciate him.

To start, search the internet for web sites like www.kaboose.com that offer templates for Fathers Day greeting cards. You can personalize cards with your own pictures, art, and messages.

These pre-designed cards really make the process simple. If you have an artistic flair, then you can use the templates as a guide but add your own headers, backgrounds, picture frames or fonts.

When choosing a card style, select one that matches your Fathers Day present. If you use old family pictures, snapshots of your kids, or even a funny pet picture, then your cards will become special gifts for Fathers Day themselves.

Fathers Day crafts are a fun activity for the kids and dad will love what their imaginations comes up with. There are a number of ways that kids can make cards. Older children who can safely handle scissors can cut out colored pictures of objects or activities that dad enjoys, like gardening, boating or fishing from old greeting cards, magazines and newspapers.

Glue the pictures onto a piece of cardboard or construction paper and use a marker or felt tipped pen to write a message. For a final touch, carefully squeeze a strip of glue along the edges of the card and add glitter, beads, macaroni or even buttons for a fancy border. For younger children, use stickers or stamps instead of cutting out pictures.

There are a number of paper choices for your dad’s card but any heavy paper like construction paper or Bristol board will do. You can purchase pre-folded paper or simply buy some card stock and fold it yourself.

Use a ruler to get a nice, sharp fold. If you want to make an envelope, then just make sure that the card will fit inside. You can decorate the envelope with the same materials that you used on the card or use some metallic ribbon to attach the envelope to the Fathers Day presents.

Regardless of the card you choose to make, the loving thought behind it will be something that your dad will always remember.
