And in anticipation of 1000 requests… I have included a PDF with the recipe and the dimentions and template. Just quickly though, I used the Manchester Designer Series paper, Twill Tape ribbon, and you can’t tell by the photo, but the collar is Always Artichoke which is the same as the darkest stripe in the shirt.
This is my gift to my wonderful followers for being patient with me for being an inconsistent blogger lately.
I am very excited to be a presenter at Josee Smuck’s Stamping Girls Convention in Ottowa, Canada starting tomorow. I’m a bit nervous as well and am hoping to impress!
As you can see by the detail shot (below) the top of the card is cut so that the collar doesn’t go above the standard sized card/envelope.
The knot for the tie is a trick… check out the PDF download for more information! I have some fabulous Father’s Day & Masculine card ideas coming… when I get home from Canada!

Hey Amy! I love the card….it is exactly what I have been looking for! My question is, did you free hand cut the top of the card or did I miss a trick for that? Thanks for sharing all of your awesome creativity with us!
Jean Fitch says
Thanks Amy for sharing so generously with your 1000’s of fans. This is one of my favs of all the shirt cards that have hit the board lately. Much simpler to make too!
Hugs and blessings from a sister Demo – Jean
PS: Good Luck in Canada – You’ll be smashing I’m sure!

You are JUST IN TIME to solve my card project dilemna for Club meeting June 3rd. BLESS you for being such a great Demo. And just to let you know, I made your Stationery Box Mini Covered Notebook cover into a card face and it was the number one hit at Stamp Camp this afternoon. Everyone ordered multiple packs of this DSP today to get in on the big sale.
Faye says
What a fantastic Father’s Day card. You truly are an inspiration for all of us (less creative people). Your presentation will go well. Thanks for your great blog!
Amy says
Sorry to have not realized that! It was nice seeing you anyway!!!
Tracey says
Did I miss where you had replied to my first comment? I was asking if you had free hand cut the top of the card. Thanks!
Lyria says
I’d like to have the answer to this question as well.
Love the card. Would like to make for Fathers Day.
Thanks.
Amy says
I did (sort’ve),I put the collar in place and then made a cardboard template for the top right and left hand side.
Jeanie says
This is exactly what I was looking for! I made one for my mom out of pink and white paper. She raised the 6 of us by herself, so I always try to do something for her on Father’s Day.
Thanks a lot! I think she’ll love it.
