I like to design appliques and find they are perfect for card embellishments. I have used my appliques to make handmade Christmas cards, Valentine’s Day cards, and Mother’s Day cards.
If you love to crochet, you can use crochet appliques to create a unique handmade card for your dad.

For my DIY Father’s Day cards I didn’t use any special tools like punches, die-cutters, or rubber stamps. But if you have those tools and would like to use them, you can add additional elements to your cards as you wish.
The messaging on the cards can be hand-written or computer-generated. Usually I type messages in a Word document, then I print them and cut them out with decorative-edged scissors .
If you have beautiful handwriting, you can write the messages by hand for the added personal touch. Even if you don’t think you have beautiful handwriting, it probably looks wonderful through your father’s eyes. Keep that in mind.
For the cards, you can use card stock or use blank cards from the store. If you are planning to use card stock, you will also need a paper trimmer.
