Surprise all the special Dads in your life with a personalized Father’s Day card! Follow these simple steps to create a tri-fold card sure to melt his heart:

materials   11x17" cardstock 1 yard ribbon 4 favorite photos, cut to 3x3" 1 - 3x3" printed card   tools   12" paper trimmer bone folder ruler double-sided tape

directions

• Begin by cutting your 11x17" cardstock down to 5 x 17"
• Using the tip of your bonefolder and your ruler, score cardstock into thirds. Measure from the left 5" and score. Then measure in 5" from that score mark. The right panel should be a bit smaller than the others.
• Next, fold both outer panels towards the center with the left panel on top. This will create your album with the left panel being your cover.

• Place double-sided tape on the cover and back of your album in a horizontal line about 3" down from the top. Secure the ribbon to the tape leaving the excess ribbon on the open side. You will use this to tie your bow.
• Adhere your father’s day greeting to the center of the front cover with double-sided tape.
• Tape a 3x3" photo to the center of each album page.
• Tie the ribbon into a bow to complete your album.
