Hand-colored Father's Day card featuring a smiling father and son with the message "Happy Father's Day" in blue and green. The setup includes a blue beaded necklace, additional printable card with "Happy Father's Day!" text, and five Crayola crayons for coloring.

Printing these cards is easy – they’re made to fit just right on letter-sized paper (11 x 8.5 inches) when you set it to landscape. A simple ‘shrink to fit’ adjustment makes sure they print out perfectly every time.

These cards look best on cardstock, which is our top recommendation for a more polished look. But, if you only have regular printer paper, that works fine too. Choose cardstock if you want to add a bit of extra quality to your cards.

Fold the cards you printed down the middle to show the ‘Happy Father’s Day’ or ‘No.1 Dad’ picture on the back and the cute drawing on the front. We didn’t put anything inside the card on purpose, so you have space to write your own special message for Father’s Day.

Grab some coloring pens to decorate the card – these dual tipped coloring pens are really good because they let you be extra creative. Use these pens to add color and make your card really stand out, showing off your art skills in a fun way.
