Since Father's Day is just around the corner, I have one more card idea to share.
You will need:
5 x 7" notecard
4 1/2 x 6 1/2" patterned scrapbook paper
Glue the scrapbook rectangle to the front of notecard.
Cut out pocket from cardstock. This is the pattern I used: Pocket Template
Glue the sides and bottom to front of card. Add decorative pen markings along edges.
Print out or write approx. 5 coupons. Ideas:
-Uninterrupted Nap
-1 batch homemade cookies
-1 Lawn mowing
-1 Breakfast in bed
-1 Back scratch
Cut coupon card stock 2x3" with the coupon slightly smaller. Glue to cardstock.
Slip coupons into pocket.
You can also decorate the front of the pocket with any leftover scrapbook paper.
This pattern is great for other occasions, too. This is a new baby card.
Instead of coupons, I used a short poem, a few lines on each rectangle.
Punch a hole in the top of the cards and tie a ribbon bow.
I dabbed the edges with a pink stamp pad.
I hope you have enjoyed this week's project!

I was trying to think of what to get my husband for Father's Day. I like the coupon card idea.
What clever ideas!!
Kelli, I think you should go into the card making business! Yours are so much better than Hallmark:)
This is just the thing! Great as usual. If you get a moment, come see my garden update. I am tickled pink because this is my first real try at a garden and I did not have high hopes. Here's the link:

What a nice project for Father's Day! And I wish a happy one to your husband!
Hi Kelli,
Love that Fathers Day coupon card.
I'm sure all dads would love a nap, and to have their lawns mowed and etc.
I hope to be around blog land a bit more now. As I am back home to my family and not working anymore.
Great card idea! That's a keeper. I already made my Father's Day cards so I am saving this one for next year.
hugs, Linda
