Birthday Cards for Dad
Dads are famously hard to shop for, but a card that nails his favorite hobby is a safe bet. This set covers the classics: two backyard-barbecue designs for the grill master, a sunset fisherman and a lake scene for the guy who'd rather be on the water, and a retro pop-art toast for the dad who appreciates a good cheers.
There's also a Super Dad illustration with a caped hero and his kids, and a comic-burst 'Best Dad Ever' coloring page that younger kids can color in before the card is folded.
Most of these designs leave room for your own front-cover text, so you can put his name right on the cover — then rewrite the inside message and print it on one sheet of letter paper.
