When I came across the iDad at Charlotte's Fancy, I knew I needed to get (ok - create) my husband one for Fathers Day. How super fun is that, right? And let me tell you the iDad is MUCH cheaper than it's Father, the iPad!
My husband and I both have iPads and both love them, so this is perfect for him. But of course, I had to do mine all digital 'cause that's how I roll.
I took an iPad image, found all the icons I wanted and placed them on it. I even did the mirror image of the icons on the bottom. And if you look close it even says iDad in the top left corner.
Once I printed it on cardstock, I cut it out and used an exacto knife to cut the icons that I wanted to fold up. I put sticky notes on the backside of the tabs and sprayed the inside cover with adhesive (a glue stick would work well too). I then took the sticky notes off and stuck the two pieces of card stock together.
I handed it over to my kiddos to work their magic and we have a sweet little personalized card for dad come Father's Day! I am currently customizing a box for the presentation of the iDad.
I love Father's Day cards! Last year CRAFT had the coolest Google card that I recreated digitally as well - find it here.
Two years ago I created my own original idea - SUPERDAD!

Do you mean under the flap or the icons? I'm a graphic designer so have the tools necessary to create this. I do have the file available as a download. Under the flaps I just had the kids use markers to write notes to dad. :)
