Begin by preparing your materials. Cut the Misty Moonlight, Basic White, and Night of Navy cardstock to the desired dimensions. Have your Take to the Sky Bundle Stamp Set and Designer Series Paper ready, along with the Boho Blue Ink Pad, Blender Pens, Wink of Stella, and Industrial Trinkets.

Using the Take to the Sky Bundle Stamp Set, stamp the vintage airplane image onto the Basic White cardstock. Utilize the Boho Blue Ink Pad for a rich, vibrant color. Once stamped, use the Blender Pens to add shading and depth to the image, bringing it to life with intricate details.

Adhere the stamped image onto the Misty Moonlight cardstock, framing it beautifully. Layer this onto the Night of Navy cardstock for added dimension. Use the Designer Series Paper to create a backdrop, enhancing the vintage aesthetic.

Apply the Wink of Stella to the airplane image to give it a subtle shimmer that catches the light. Add Industrial Trinkets to the card for a touch of metallic elegance, perfectly complementing the vintage theme.

Score the Misty Moonlight cardstock to create the easel fold. This involves creating a fold that allows the card to stand upright. Ensure that the fold is crisp and precise, allowing the card to display beautifully.

Complete the card with a heartfelt sentiment. For Father’s Day, consider using phrases like “Happiest Father’s Day” on the front and “You always lift me up” on the inside. These personal touches make the card even more special and meaningful.
