Scroll down to check out yesterday's sample for Father's Day, using the Many Mower stamp set, which is only available for ONE MORE WEEK! Cute, right? I of course think so and used this set for both my father's and husband's cards...
Yesterday we went to a graduation party for my husband's nephew - yea, MATT! - and saw the card given to my brother in law for Father's Day. Yes, it was cute and had characters on it..
Guess how much it cost?!?!?$6.29
So today I figured out the consumable cost to make yesterday's card. Yes, there is an investment involved in purchasing stamp sets, ink pads, and punches, but the consumable cost is what I focused on...That card cost 51 cents to make!
Now I have that stamp set and the punches to make other things, like scrapbook pages and birthday cards, home decor and gifts!
Join us on July 1 for the New Catalog Kick Off to see how much fun making cards can be when you have the right supplies - email stampwithtara@yahoo.com to RSVP!
Here are some interesting facts about the Origin of Father's Day from www.About.com!
The origin of Father's Day is not clear. Some say that it began with a church service in West Virginia in 1908. Others say the first Father's Day ceremony was held in Vancouver, Washington.
The president of the Chicago branch of the Lions' Club, Harry Meek, is said to have celebrated the first Father's Day with his organization in 1915; and the day that they chose was the third Sunday in June, the closest date to Meek's own birthday!
Regardless of when the first true Father's Day occurred, the strongest promoter of the holiday was Mrs. Bruce John Dodd of Spokane, Washington. Mrs. Dodd felt that she had an outstanding father. He was a veteran of the Civil War. His wife had died young, and he had raised six children without their mother.
In 1909, Mrs. Dodd approached her own minister and others in Spokane about having a church service dedicated to fathers on June 5, her father's birthday. That date was too soon for her minister to prepare the service, so he spoke a few weeks later on June 19th. From then on, the state of Washington celebrated the third Sunday in June as Father's Day. Children made special desserts, or visited their fathers if they lived apart.
States and organizations began lobbying Congress to declare an annual Father's Day. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson approved of this idea, but it was not until 1924 when President Calvin Coolidge made it a national event to "establish more intimate relations between fathers and their children and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations." Since then, fathers had been honored and recognized by their families throughout the country on the third Sunday in June.
When children can't visit their fathers or take them out to dinner, they send a greeting card. Traditionally, fathers prefer greeting cards that are not too sentimental. Most greeting cards are whimsical so fathers laugh when they open them. Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad.
