Fishing Vest Father's Day Card

My father-in-law and son both love to fish, so when I saw this free fishing vest card SVG file over at Dreaming Tree, I knew what card I would be making for both of them for Father's Day this year! If you have any anglers you'd like to make a card for, here's the link to the free SVG file: Fishing Vest Gift Card Holder Premium SVG File for Cricut, Silhouette CAMEO, ScanNCut - SVG Files For Cricut and Silhouette - 3DSVG.com.

After choosing my olive and tan papers and cutting out all the little elements using my Silhouette Cameo 4, I inked the edges of the tan elements to give them a weathered look and used a fine tip black marker to trace all the lines of stitching. Then I adhered the pockets using foam tape to give them some dimension. The inside can hold a gift card, so for my son's card, I added one to his favorite store: Amazon😁! Then I stamped the "Happy Father's Day" sentiment onto the back. For my father-in-law's card, I added the sentiment to the middle of the card and covered the gift card tabs that way since instead of a gift card, he'll be getting whatever tool my husband picks out for him this year. I made a few extras of this card design to donate to a fundraiser at my local library, too, because it's  just so darling. 

The sentiment can go inside: 

Or on the back of the card:
