Easy Father’s Day Cards Using the May 2024 Sheetload of Cards Sketch
In this video project from June 2024, I made Father’s Day Cards using the May 2024 Sheetload of Cards sketch by Call Me Crafty Al, with the Reminisce Gear Head Paper Pack. This sketch is a fractured card style. Products used are listed below.
Please forgive the picture quality, this project is from when I had just started my channel.

A2 Card Base: 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" when folded

Card Instructions
For the cards, I used the Call Me Crafty Al’s Sheetload of Cards Sketch for May 2024. Her video is linked in the box above, and it is where you can download the card sketch. This card sketch makes eight cards if you follow the directions exactly. There are also instructions on how to make one card if desired.
I picked out a few patterns from the Reminisce Gear Heads paper, and cut them according to the card sketch instructions. For the focal image, I used the Hero Arts Fancy Dies Happy Father’s Day with matching cardstock to the card base, and used Simon Says Stamp Vellum for the shadow layer. I glued the die cut to the shadow layer and added it to the card front.
Inside of Card
For the inside of the cards, I cut card panels out of white cardstock. Then I used inks that matched the card bases from Pinkfresh Studios in Slumber and Misty Coast, through the Tim Holtz Gears stencil, to decorate the inside of the card.
Finishing up the card project
I cut additional pieces of white cardstock in A2 size and embossed them with the Tim Holtz Mechanical Embossing Folder (shown on bottom left of picture above). I used these pieces to cover the card fronts, before putting the cards in the envelopes, as it helps to protect the cards when mailing.
