If you're running on a tight schedule but you'd like to make something sweet for your father, just print out one of Angela's super-cool beer glass or trophy printables and layer it on to patterned paper with sticky foam pads for an instant cool effect! You can get the printables by following the link below...

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!
