June is a busy month for celebrations around here. Last week, my husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary and this week, we have Father’s Day and my sister’s birthday! I have been making cards, cakes and wrapping presents for two weeks straight! I love planning parties, though, so I don’t mind too much 🙂
With Father’s Day just a few weeks away, I sat down yesterday to make some homemade Father’s Day cards – one for my dad and one for my husband. As I searched the internet for Father’s Day card ideas and inspiration, I came across a folded shirt card tutorial that was perfect! The cards were adorable and didn’t seem too difficult to make, so I got out my craft paper and gave it a try.
I absolutely love how these Father’s Day shirt cards turned out, plus I had all the supplies so they were free as well! They were so fun to make and really easy to customize. I know the fathers in my life are going to love receiving these homemade father’s day cards!
