Handmades of the Week #3 - Father's Day Buttons and Handmade Cards for Dad

As we all know, this coming Sunday is for all the Dads in Australia and New Zealand and perhaps in other countries as well. I made these buttons and cards specifically for this special day and it may be a bit late for this Sunday but they still are available in my online shop.

These are the Dad's buttons I made which can be pinned on Dad's shirt or pinned on their hats.

 Sample of where the buttons can be pinned.

And these are the handmade cards for Dad which were printed from my old inkjet-printer.

Whichever you choose, all you have to do is click on any of the images above to check them out and I hope you all have a wonderful and fun day celebrating Dad's special day on Sunday.
