Hello crafty friends! This time, I want to share an idea with you for Father’s Day. This card has a fun colorful stenciled background. It is also not too hard to make.

Skill: Intermediate
Time: 30 minutes

Directions:

Step 1

Make an A2 size card out of heavy-weight white cardstock. One piece of 11 inch x 8.5 inch cardstock can make 2 cards.

On the front card, tape the stencil with washi tapes to secure it in place while you add colors with some sponge daubers.

Add the VersaColor ink one by one using a different sponge dauber for each color you use. Make sure the colors you pick can blend well.

When you are done adding colors, remove the stencil, set aside the stenciled card to dry.

Step 2

On a piece of white cardstock, stamp the image with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad using a stamping tool.

Use a craft heat gun to dry the ink quickly.

Step 3

Next step, cut the sentiment with a rectangle die.

I also cut out a piece of black cardstock using 2 different rectangle dies to create a frame. This step is an option, if you want to add more layers to the card.

Step 4

Add the sentiment panel at the center of the stenciled card with Tear It! Tape, and add the black frame to the card with the same adhesive.

Step 5

On the inside card, stamp the sentiment with the VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink pad.

Use a craft heat gun to dry the ink after stamping.

This card looks like it has a couple layers of die cuts but still flat enough to send it out on regular mail without extra cost.

I hope you will give it a try to make this fun colorful card for Father’s Day! Thanks so much for stopping by our blog today. Have a wonderful day!
