Vintage Bingo cards can be so fun to embellish with buttons. The grid makes a perfect surface to create patterns such as a heart outline. Our family tradition to play Bingo on the holidays and mu Dad is always the number caller. This card is for him.
Is the dad in your life a sports fan? This baseball Father’s Day card may be the perfect way to send your love on Father’s Day!
This simple Father’s Day card is based on only two main elements: a die cut and some of our fun 3D buttons!
A plain blank card takes on a baseball pinstripe look with the help of a background stamp. The texture of the blank card keeps it from stamping completely perfectly, giving it a vintage distressed look. A strip of patterned paper also helps to create a vintage vibe, which is perfect since baseball is a sport with such a strong sense of history. The die cut is cut from a red cardstock that matches to stitching on the baseball, and which creates a nice contrast to the blue. Once that is done, all that is needed is to attach the buttons. (The bat is attached with some embroidery floss, and the ball is glued.)
This baseball father’s day card could easily be themed for another sport with only a few changes. Simply change out the baseball buttons for other Buttons Galore sports themed ones such as basketball, soccer, or football, and then change the background stripes for stars!

Father’s Day is almost here, and that means time to make cards for dads, grandpas, and other special men in our lives! This quick and simple Father’s Day card is easy to make, and has a fun orange and turquoise color scheme that will make kids and grown-ups happy!
The card design is based on a preprinted journal card cut from a sheet of Simple Stories patterned paper. To keep it from looking plain as the basis of the card, embellish it with pearls that match the TV’s printed dials. The “screen” of the TV is the perfect place to hold the card’s sentiment. Stamp the sentiment on cardstock and then cut it apart to fit onto the screen. Adhere.
Next mat the TV card on orange patterned paper, and then mount it onto the card front. Finally, attach the card front to a blank card to complete the layers.
To wrap the twine, poke a hold in the spine of the card. Using the hole, wrap the twine around the card twice. Finish with the ends on the front. Thread a button onto each end of the twine, and then tie the ends together. To make the buttons lay more flat, glue dots can be attached behind them.

Sew a button and burlap pencil case for the guy in your life. It’s just right for the high school graduate who is heading off to college in the Fall or it would also be a great Father’s Day gift.
I know I’m always trying to keep my husband organized and he’s always looking for pens and pencils. Do you think there’s any chance a button and burlap pencil case is going to help? Naw, I don’t think so either, but it’s fun to make!
1. Sew ribbon onto burlap parallel to the side that measures 8″. Place it approximately 1.25″ from the edge of the burlap.
2. Sew the Velcro (R) Brand fasteners onto the 7.5″ inch sides. (These will be perpendicular to the ribbon.) I like to leave the top of the case without finishing it. The rough edge gives it a more masculine touch!
3. Fold in half, right sides facing (the side that you sewed the ribbon onto is the “right” side). The 7.5″ edges should be even. Press with an iron.
4. Sew the short sides closed.
5. Clip the corners and turn the bag right side out.
6. Sew buttons onto ribbon. I know it’s a bit harder to sew them on when the case is sewn, but it’s best to leave this step for last, so you can see the best placement for them.
Do you ever get stumped trying to come up with an idea on how to make a masculine card for the man in your life? Have you thought of making him a Criss Cross Card? A Criss… what???
Well, here’s a Criss Cross Card tutorial to make for that special man in your life embellished with a Haberdashery carved wood button.
Criss Cross Father’s Day Card
Most of us females would choose pretty flowers, glitter and anything cutesy before a brown and boring card. But brown, especially brown wood can be fun!
I actually like brown. I totally heart Kraft paper and when I received my Buttons Galore design team goodies, these Haberdashery wooden buttons totally caught my eye.

<insert “belly size” pun here>
Inside of Criss Cross Father’s Day Card
Even without flowers and glitter, a masculine card can still be fun to decorate. I chose to go for an “Old World” feel.
To embellish this Criss Cross card, I used paper from DCWV Industrial Chic line, added some zig zag stitching inside and a Father’s Day die cut from a Loni Harris cut file. Then, I embossed the belly band with a burlap folder and completed the masculine Criss Cross card with a Haberdashery wood button.
See, brown can be fun!

Let’s make a Card for Dad, shall we?
Just for Father’s Day, let’s step away from the flowers, the ribbons, the lace. Let’s go all MANLY! Blues, browns, etc. – safe color choices. I’m going for a mannish, woodsy feel here. My kids will give this to their dad with a gift card inside.
Thanks for joining me today. I hope the men in your life have a day they deserve.
Here’s a special gift for Dad- a handmade frame with a photo of someone who loves him!
