It is time to update the Father’s Day Mario card printable.I have offered it in years past, and I always think it is a big hit. If you haven’t seen it before, here is how it works. I have created a Father’s Day printable that looks like the Mario title screen. You can simply print out this first image and you are all good to go.
Click on the image to get it full size and either save it or print. The full size image should fill a regular 8.5 x 11 sheet.
Option 2 is for those who are comfortable with Photoshop or some other program that will edit PSD files. You can customize your card to make it fit your need a little better. You can change:
- Dad’s Name
- Dad’s Birthday (Currently the date of Father’s Day in there)
- Number of Kids (Coins)
- The year(In case you use next year or beyond!)
Here is what you need to do to customize your own:
Step 1: Download the font “Press Start” and install it – It is a must!!
Step 2: Download the MarioCardDownload2012.psd file. (After you click the download link, there will be a 20 second delay before you can actually download the file.)
Step 3: Open in Photoshop(or GIMP)
Step 4: Select the text layer you want to change
Step 5: Using your Text Tool change the text to your desired text
Step 6: Print and enjoy!
I am a little bummed I can’t just keep using this same card every year for my husband. I still really like it! Maybe I’ll have to get creative and come up with another video game themed printable. Is your husband or Dad a gamer? What is there favorite video game?
Thank you so much for this post. I want to let you know that I posted a link to your blog in CBH Digital Scrapbooking Freebies (please, notice the new url for my blog), under the Page 5 post on May. 26, 2012. Thanks again.
This is hilarious! I’d love for you to share it at my new linky party:

That is adorable!!! I actuallyjust pulled my old Original Nintendo out last week and tried to teach my kids to play Mario 1! Love this! Pinning!
This is fabulous. Great work! Saving this to print out. Thanks!
This is too cute! I might just have to print this off for the kids to give to my hubby this Father’s Day. We both group up on Mario Bros! 🙂 Thanks for linking with What are little boys made of. I featured this today.
It’s hard to go wrong with a miniature gymnast plumber. Super cute idea!
Thanks for sharing (I pinned it!) 🙂

Love this printable! Thanks for sharing!
So cute! So a game suggestion I know a lot of dads are playing out there. Call of Duty. Just an idea for ya if you decide to try a new card:)
Awesome card. I’d like to use it as a featured image on our web-site for a Father’s Day article. Would that be alright? Contact me at kent@thegamepop.com Now as for future entries, maybe a Mega Man one would be cool. Like the intro screen of Mega Man 2 where he is standing on the building. Great work ^_^
