Oh what fun it was to peruse old photos of Great Grandpa in a quest for the perfect addition to this year’s Father’s Day card. I love including photos on cards as a way to remember the days of old. When working with original photos, don’t forget to make archival safe copies. Archiver’s has a convenient archival color copier to easily copy original photos and size them perfectly to fit your cards (and scrapbook pages too!).
The vintage vibe of 7gypsies paper offered the perfect backdrop for this carefree photo. I chose my three favorite scrapbook tools to work with, making it easy to construct the card: We R Memory Keepers Corner Chompers for sophisticated deco corners, my Tonic distress tool to add texture, and my trusty border punch and circle punches that always come through when I need them! And, when plain circles are just…well…too plain, use a dotted stamp with VersaMark to add a subtle background. I finished the card with brown twine in mini knots to accentuate the downright adorable photo of Great Grandpa.
Even though Father’s Day is this Sunday, there’s still plenty of time to make a card Dad, Grandpa and Great Grandpa will love!
