Father’s Day – Embellishments For Your Own Cards

For readers resident in the United Kingdom or the United States, Father's Day is now not far away, occurring on Sunday 18 June in 2017.  Although many may think it as a recent invention, perhaps cynically designed to help the card industry sell lots, it has it has been celebrated on St Joseph's Day (March 19) in Catholic Europe since the Middle Ages.

Rather than buy ready made cards for your father, this celebratory day provides the ideal opportunity to design your own card or use a card design template. You can personalise it with all sorts of embellishments relevant to your loved one.  This is the time to be adventurous and even quirky, adding different levels of detail as you feel inspired.  For some interesting ideas to get you started, you might like to check out other people's handcrafted father's day cards.

You can choose to reflect Dad's interests and hobbies on the card - for example, you could add beer related card toppers for a home brew expert, sports motifs for an athletic dad or even birds for a keen ornithologist.
