Supplies: 
two sheets of white card stock
white cardstock cut to 3 1/4" x 4 1/4"
black cardstock cut to 3 5/8" x 4 5/8"
black cardstock cut to  9 1/2" x 6", scored in the middle at 4 3/4" and folded in half
red cardstock or paper folded to make a small pocket
black and red dye ink, red pigment ink, red glitter embossing powder, heat gun, black ink pen, double stick tape or glue, cutting board or scissors, playing card

Ink up the Diamond Background with the red pigment ink.  You don't have to worry about the center of the image because it won't show.  Stamp it onto a sheet of white cardstock and cover with the red glitter embossing powder and heat with your heat gun.
Crop the Diamond Background right up against the edges.  Using double stick tape or glue, affix it to your folded black cardstock.  Next affix the cut black cardstock to the center so it lines up with the Diamonds, hitting the tips at the top and bottom and cutting the diamonds in half on each side.
Stamp the Happy Father's Day in the upper center, then the Gimmee and then stamp the dice image twice.  Affix this to the front of the card centering it.
On the other piece of white cardstock, trace around a playing card five different times and cut them out.  Using the Curly Alphabet stamp the K on four and the A on one.  Using the Hoyle, stamp your suits.  Next using the Curly Alphabet again, stamp "Good For".  You'll need to stamp it in sections, "Go", "od" and then "For".  Use a black felt pen for the colon.
Using the red cardstock or paper, or you can even cut into an envelope, make a pocket to hold your playing card coupons.  You can write something different for Dad on each one such as "car wash", "dinner", etc..  I adhered this poker chip to the pocket which I got years ago from Studio Blackbird.
