Superman card tutorial - Crea Bea Cards

We all know Superman as a hero with incredible powers. Nothing can beat him. He always saves the day. There’s a Superman in all of us. “We just need the courage to put on the cape.” – Superman. A Superman could be anyone in your life. It could be your dad, a close friend or even a stranger on the street which helps you out.

This card can be crafted to show your appreciation for this person’s superpowers or to encourage this person to stay strong and keep going.

I originally crafted this card for my dad for Father’s Day. To me my dad is a superhero who has always been strong and brave. As a “grown up”, I still ask for his advice from time to time.
