White Car Great Dad Card

The occasion has not been specified on this card and so it can be used for Father’s Day, for a birthday card for Dad or just to tell your Dad how great he is! Change the peel off word from ‘Dad’ to something else like ‘Uncle’ or ‘Brother’ to make the card for another relation.

Shown below is the finished card, further down there is a picture taken at an angle to show the decoupage layers.

Silver/White Car Great Dad Card

Items used to make this card:

  1. A6 Luxury Pearl White Card Blank
  2. White pearlised card
  3. Die-Cut Decoupage Sheet – Cars
  4. Family Mix 1 Peel Off Sheet – Silver for the words ‘To a Great’
  5. Family Mix 2 Peel Off Sheet – Silver for the word ‘Dad’
  6. Sticky foam pads
  7. Craft knife, pencil, ruler & cutting mat

Directions to make:

Measure and cut out a 13cm x 2cm strip from the white pearlised card.

Remove the words ‘To a Great’ from the silver Family Mix 1 peel off sheet and the word ‘Dad’ from the silver Family Mix 2 peel off sheet. Stick the words spaced evenly along the white card strip using a ruler or a straight edge to ensure you apply the words straight.

Push all of the image ‘C’ sections out of the decoupage sheet. Turn the card blank to landscape / tent fold orientation and using sticky foam pads layer the decoupage sections onto the top centre of the card blank.

Finally stick the peel off wording card strip to the bottom centre of the card blank using more sticky foam pads.

Dad Birthday Red Sports Car

This gorgeous 3D decoupage red sports car makes an ideal Birthday card for any car enthusiast. Why not make the card for another relation by simply changing the Dad peel off to suit or make the design for Father’s Day by changing the Happy Birthday peel off to Happy Father’s Day.

Pictured immediately below is an image of the completed card, further down there is a picture taken at an angle to show the decoupage layers.

Dad Red Sports Car Card

Items used to make this card:

  1. 7″x5″ White Card Blank
  2. Rioja Red pearlised card
  3. Die-Cut Decoupage Sheet – Cars
  4. Happy Birthday Peel Off Sheet – Red
  5. Family Mix 1 Peel Off Sheet – Silver for the words ‘To a Dear’
  6. Family Mix 2 Peel Off Sheet – Silver for the word ‘Dad’
  7. Sticky foam pads
  8. Craft knife, pencil, ruler & cutting mat

How to make:

Measure and cut out a 15.5cm x 10.5cm rectangle from the rioja red pearlised card then measure and cut out a 14cm x 9cm rectangle out of the centre of that rectangle. This leaves you with a 7-8mm card frame.

Use 5mm sticky foam pads to stick the frame centrally onto the front of the card blank. Turn the card blank to landscape / tent fold orientation.

Push all of the image ‘B’ red sports car sections out of the decoupage sheet and using more sticky foam pads layer them in the correct order inside the centre of the rectangle card frame.

Remove a ‘Happy Birthday’ wording sticker from the red happy birthday peel off sheet and stick this inside the card frame to the top right hand side, above the car.

Remove ‘To a Dear’ wording stickers from the silver family mix 1 peel off sheet and the word ‘Dad’ from the silver family mix 2 peel off sheet and stick these words inside the card frame to the bottom left hand side, below the car.

It is a good idea to use a ruler or a straight edge to place all of the peel off wording stickers to help ensure the words are applied straight.
