Sailing Home for Fathers Day card is a great way to celebrate Dad who spent time on the water.  My  Dad  served  in  the  Canadian  Navy  during WW2 and  was  posted  to a small  frigate  off  the  coast  of  BC.  And,  when  he  married Mom, they opted to stay in BC and raise our family. When us kids were teenagers, he also built a speed boat that we learned to water  ski behind. Dad is 97 years young and his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren hope that we get to celebrate more Father’s Day with him.

Create the Card

• Gently fold the middle panel. Attach the DSP to the card base and the middle panel,  Apply adhesive to the tabs (fold to the back) on the middle piece and attach to the back panel (line up the center folds).

• Fold the tabs on the long piece to the back and attach to either side of the card base.
• Die cut the words from Basic White cardstock and attach to the Misty Moonlight strip.  The strip will lay flat when the card is laid flat.
• Stamp the sailboat on Basic White with Tuxedo Black ink, the anchor on Basic White with Granite Gray.  Die cut with matching dies.
• Die cut the rope and wheel from Cinnamon Cider cardstock and sponge with Early Espresso to bring out the embossed features.
• Use Cinnamon Cider Stampin’ Blend to color the boat hull and Granite Gray Stampin’ Blend to shade the sails. Attach the elements to the center panel and the back panel.
• Stamp the lighthouse with Misty Moonlight ink on one of the panels and the sentiment from A Wish for Everything stamp in Misty Moonlight on the other panel.
• Attach these to the back of the card..
• Tie a bow with the Baker’s Twine and attach to the upper fold of the center panel.

The a Wish for Everything stamp and matching dies can create just about any type of sentiment for any occasion.

So by changing up the sentiments, you can have a different card and it would still be similar to the Sailing Home for Father’s Day card.
