This tutorial will show you how to create this card based around a shirt and tie. This card is ideal for a male on any occasion, especially birthdays. It can also be used for Father's Day.


Take one of the shirt and tie peel-offs. Carefully cut the tie section out of the shirt.

Stick the shirt part to a piece of the blue check paper and carefully cut it out.

Stick the tie section of the peel-off to a piece of the pearl blue card. Cut it out carefully so that the top of the tie fits the collar of the shirt. You need to do this for two shirts. (See figure 1)



Figure 2


Stick the two shirts to the centre of the pearl white card and using the silver letter peel-offs, spell "Dad" across the pearl blue strip.




Figure 1

Cut a rectangle of the white pearl card, it should be the same width as the blank card (when landsape) and about two-thirds the height.

Cut a strip of the blue pearl card to fit along the bottom of the blank card as shown in figure 2.


You could make the card more personal to the recipient by using their favourite colour instead of blue.
