Handmade Father's Day cards - only not by your own hand
When your kids are still too young to break out the glitter glue and make dad a Father's Day card--or too old--a printed card can still go a long way. So to keep you from the card aisle crush the next Saturday, I searched through Etsy (with the help of some of our friends over there--thanks Adam!) and tracked down a few clever handmade Father's Day cards that help show your love both for the rockin' dads of the world, and for independent artists too. -Liz I'd imagine this "daddy issues" Father's Day card (above)was designed for adults to give to their own fathers, but it's kind of more hilarious coming from a two year-old. Find it at Wit and Wistle - and on our own Father's Day Gift Guide.


Traditional icons like cars, baseballs and tools get a humorous jolt from a line of Superman logos in this handprinted Gocco Father's Day card from Chunky Pineapple. And the shipping is free!


Because the nerds have inherited the earth, I love this "uncool" Father's Day card at Shop Giberrish, with a hilarious message and the word FATHER spelled out using the periodic elements.


Sentimental-yet-manly types will appreciate this wonderfully designed handmade Father's Day card with a message that's perfect for any great dad.



Perhaps the most clever of all is this Golden Ticket Father's Day card which, when you open it, has a lottery-style scratch-off bit that reveals your own custom message. But order now! It takes 3-7 to ship from NYC.
