Back in the June issue of Papercraft inspirations (issue 100) we brought you a wonderful set of Father's Day cards by the very talented Kirsty Neale. They've been such a hit and we love them so much that we've asked Kirsty to create a bonus set of printables for you to design your own dad! With this set you take a basic 'dad' figure and customise him from a highly entertaining choice of hairstyles, glasses, clothes and even beards and moustaches, to recreate your own dad in paper form - or to give your dad a funky makeover!

Make sure you have 17th June underlined in your diary as the day to say thanks to your Dad. For Father's Day this year the lovely Kirsty Neale has created an amazing collection of cards to celebrate the men in our lives.
