A DIY Father’s Day greeting card is an opportunity to put your thoughts about dad (don’t forget grandad!) down on paper in a personalised and heartfelt way. Sure, a greeting card can seem too simple for dad. But with a bit of flourish and a message that tugs at his heartstrings, you just might make him tear up.

But what if you’re not the artsy type and have “not-so-good” handwriting? Don’t worry; you can still create a personalised greeting card with Father's Day printables and templates. Simply choose your design, digitally add personalised details and print. You can also embellish your cards by hand using stamps and custom calligraphy (courtesy of your friends if you don’t feel up to the task).

We’ve put together a list of six Father’s Day printables and templates that you can download and print at home. Whether you’re looking for something sentimental or tongue in cheek, we’ve got you covered.
