Give Dad a unique Father’s Day card this year by following this easy Crisscross Card Tutorial. I made the card have an “Old World” feel by using DCWV Industrial Chic paper, burlap texture and a Haberdashery Wood Button.

Crisscross Card Tutorial
Typically, cards I make are full of pretty flowers, glitter and cutesy stuff but brown, especially brown wood can be fun to create with too.
- Cut a 8 1/2 x 11 piece of card stock in half, lengthwise.
- Score each piece at 5 1/2 inches.
-
Over lap the two pieces of card stock.
- Adhere together with Glue Dots®.
- Your card will now be 16 1/2 inches long.
- Using s paper trimmer, trim off the top corner of each end diagonally.
-
To keep your card close, cut a 1 x 12 inch Belly Band to wrap around card.
-
Measure and trim out patterned paper to embellish your card with.
- Ink the edges of the paper with Colorbox ink.
I used my Silhouette CAMEO to cut out a Father’s Day cut file from Loni Harris and zig-zag stitched around the inside of the card.
I love the rustic, Old World feel of this Crisscross Father’s Day card. The burlap embossing folder n the belly band provides a unique detail too. Perfect masculine card for Dad!
