Hi everyone! It’s Jessica here. Did you make a Father’s Day card this year? I wanted to share a fun card idea for all of the dads working in the corporate world. This design features a black suit that is perfect for a Father’s Day card, but it can easily be changed into a wedding card for the groom as well. Let’s make a simple suit and tie card for Father’s Day!
Step 1
Trim a piece of Stardream Metallic 5 x 7 Onyx cardstock to 4 ¼’’ x 5 ½’’. Then, center the “V” shaped die from Stampin’ Up’s Suit and Tie set to create the suit opening. On a different piece of Stardream Metallic 5 x 7 Onyx cardstock, die cut the lapels of the suit jacket.
Step 2
Adhere thin strips of double sided tape to the back of the die cut. You could apply adhesive to the entire backing, but I wanted to leave the edges adhesive-free so that I can curl the edges of the die cut. This would add a more dimensional look to our suit. I love the subtle shine of the Stardream Metallic cardstock – it mimics the sheen of suit fabrics so well.
Step 3
Next, die cut the shirt collar with Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. For the skin, I used Environment Desert Storm cardstock.
Step 4
Finally, pick a piece of patterned paper to die cut the tie. I chose this geometric print from the Chalkboard Prints 6×6 card stock pad.
Step 5
Adhere all of the die cut pieces together and this suit and tie card for Father’s Day is complete! I adhered the tie underneath the shirt collar first, then I glued both pieces to a piece of Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. After that, I lined up the black suit with the white cardstock and stuck it both together. I hope you enjoyed this quick and fun tutorial!
