My dad's birthday often coincides with Father's Day so he usually gets one gift to cover both occasions. He's a big-time Detroit Tigers fan, so I made him a baseball-themed gift this year.
The card is simple: a strip of patterned paper, three stars, a baseball, and "Dad" stamped on the card. Of course I chose navy and orange for the Detroit Tigers. The stars were made on my Cricut. To make the baseball, I cut two of the same circle. Then I laid the 2nd circle on top of the first, slightly overlapping. I traced the curve of the 2nd circle on to the first with a red marker. Then I added the little "stitches" with red marker to make the baseball's seams.
He got a Tigers shirt for his birthday, plus a variety of ball-park snacks like peanuts and Cracker Jacks. I also made him some baseball cookies. You can see how I made those by clicking here.
Happy birthday and Happy Father's Day, Dad! I hope the Tigers are good this year!
