The Most Incredible Fathers' Day Card Ever

For this dadcraft project you will need:

• Card
• Clear plastic sheets (old overhead sheets)
• Marker pens
• OHT pens

Massively Optional...

• Lightbox for image tracing or...

Really massively optional...

Smart Projector

1. On A5 card create a full image for the inside of the card. We made some featuring The Incredibles and some involving Darth Vader. Add your message. 

2. Cut the acetate sheet to fit the design and choose one key feature of the image to outline. Using a small piece of card hinge the sheet onto your design.

3. Fold a full sheet of card to create a windowed envelope. We folded the top and bottoms back to wrap around the design, using an extra bit of card at the back to patch it together. Cut a window in the front of the envelope. Slot, and glue, a sheet of white paper in the middle to 'hide' the design. Make sure you glue it on tabs (the paper needs to be a bit bigger than A5) otherwise the card won't fit.

4. Slide in your design and away you go. Our eldest decided that the Darth Vader card should say "You are my mummy" which I actually thought may make it the funniest, most ironic fathers day card ever!
