Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Project | Simple Clear Front Father’s Day Card


Looking for something a little different for Father’s Day? This clear front card is a fun twist on a classic design! The middle section of the card front is made with acetate, giving it that see-through effect. I used adorable Polkadoodles digis of a father and two kids on the outside, and when you open the card, you’ll find the same father image inside with a sweet Happy Father’s Day sentiment.



It’s simple, unique, and perfect for showcasing your favorite digi stamps - whether it be for Fathers Day or any other card you'd want to create!


 Materials Needed

  • White cardstock
  • Pattern paper – Polkadoodles Gnome Men Football USA
  • Digi stamps – Polkadoodles Dad Father Family Bundle
  • Sentiment – Happy Father’s Day (from the same bundle)
  • Acetate
  • Tim Holtz Guillotine Paper Trimmer
  • CutterPillar Crease Score Board
  • Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue
  • Foam Tape

Instructions

1. Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4.25 x 11 inches.



2. Score at 5.5 inches on the long side.



3. From the score line, trim the right side of the cardstock at 1.5 inches to create your card base.



4. Take the trimmed piece and cut it down to 1.5 x 4.25 inches.



5. Cut your acetate to 4.25 x 5.5 inches.



6. Fold your card base and adhere the acetate to the inside edge of the 1.5-inch panelAttach the 1.5 x 4.25-inch cardstock strip to the lower outside portion of the acetate. 


7. Trim 2 pieces of 4 x 1.25 pattern paper and adhere it to the white panels of the front of the card.




8. Prepare your digi stamps. Adhere the father image to the center of the acetate panel.
Add the two children on each side of the father.





9. Inside the card, adhere another father digi in the center—position it so it lines up and hides behind the front image when the card is closed.




Add your sentiment inside the card.

And that’s it—your clear front card is ready! Feel free to mix and match with other digis for different occasions.

This design is such a fun way to play with layers and transparency while keeping everything clean and simple. It’s also a great way to stretch your digi stash and create something interactive without complicated steps.
