If you find yourself without a Father's Day card or the ones at the store are lame, I have come to your rescue.Materials
2 pieces of cardstock
1 piece of cardstock scrapbook paper
double stick tape
Tools
paper cutter or scissors
glue stick
The first step is to download and print this and this on white cardstock. Change your page set up to "borderless letter" otherwise some of the end photos may be cut off. The first download gives you an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper with photos of various foods called "pop" in polaroid frames.
Place a piece of double-stick tape on the back edge of "popcorn" and carefully line up and adhere it to the front edge of "corn pops". You should have a piece of paper 4 1/4" x 22 1/2".
Score the center (on the front) with either a bone folder or a table knife. Score on the front, 3 1/2 " from either end. Turn the card over and score on the back side, 7 " from either end. Fold on score lines. You should now have an accordion folded card. Trim top and bottom, if necessary. Don't fret if the card isn't folded perfectly, the cover will make that much less noticeable.
Cut 2 pieces 3 3/4" x 4 1/4" from card stock; perhaps a piece of scrapbook paper. Glue the pieces to either end of the accordion. Print the photo of the "tootsie pop" on white card stock and cut out. Glue it to the front cover.
Place a photo of the best pop ever into the frame on the last page.

Thank you so much for sharing this! I just love it!
I love the idea! I linked it to my blog - love it!!
I love this SO much! So, so creative! I'll be linking.
This is so cute! But I am unable to download it because it is disabled on the documents :(
It worked great! Thanks for letting me steal your creativity. You are linked to my blog!
Emily- I'm so sorry that you can't seem to download the pdf files. I just tried it and it works perfectly. Did you click where it says "here"? That brings you to Scribd and to the documents. Right above the picture of the document is the word "Scribd" and next to that is "more" with an arrow. If you click on "more" there is a dialog box that says "print"
Sorry that this is a bit complicated. I wish that Blogger would let us download pdf files directly to our blogs, but they don't. You have to go through a third party, like Scribd.
What a FUN and CREATIVE card... I love it! I'm going to keep this in mind for next year. :):) Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks so much...I guess it was pretty obvious to everyone else!

Absolutely wonderful! My kids didn't have a card yet-I was going to throw (I mean hand them) some construction paper, crayons, scissors and glue tomorrow and hope (pray) for the best-now I don't have to...thank you so very much!
