Here is what we will be making! It can be adapted to a birthday project as well...not just Father's Day but I thought it would be nice!

What you do with this is fill it up with goodies and hang it on a bottle of wine.  In this case, it is a bottle of Port for my dad!  He also has a major sweet tooth and I have added some chocolate for him too!

CPS Sketch 165 and Curtain Call Colour Challenge #28

Only 2 days away until my next turn as a Design Team Member for the Stamp-A-Holics and the 10 Minute Challenge!  I am so excited to share my creation!!!  I also took pictures throughout creating it and I also took pictures of my timer!!  Did I make my project in time?  You will have to check back to see!  I am going to be offering some Blog Candy with my post on Friday!  This is the first time I have offered Blog Candy, so I hope you will stop byon Friday to check it out!

I have been eyeing up the CPS Sketch Challenge for a couple of days now and I finally had an idea pop into my head tonight.  Here is the Sketch. I decided to use Stacey's awesome Colour Challenge as well!  Stacey had said these colours could be masculine and I decided to go with that idea!  My sister's fella loves Motorcycles and so I thought I would pre-make a Birthday Card for him!  I turned the sketch...here is what I came up with!

My card measures 5x5".  I used my Texturz plates to emboss the Kraft Paper.  I am all out of Rose Red Cardstock and so I used some of the Sweet Pea DSP for the centre section.  The Motorcycle is from the new Summer Mini and is inked up in Not Quite Navy.  The sentiment is from the "All Holidays" set.  I found some old eyelets and used my Crop-i-Dile to adhere them to the little panel above the Motocycle.  I thought they looked kinda cool with this image.  What do you think?

Stampin' Royalty #15-KISS (Keep It Simple Sweetie)

Hooray! I finally received my newest shipment from SU! and my new "Motorcycle" stamp has arrived!!  As soon as I saw the challenge at Stampin' Royalty I knew that I needed to make a simple masculine card! I chose Sahara Sand, Black and Vanilla for my cardstock.  The image and sentiment is stamped in black.  The sentiment comes from the "Watercolour Trio" set which is also new in the Summer Mini!  I inked up an old BG stamp called "Print Pattern" in Sahara Sand and stamped it onto my card base.  I used some Vanilla Satin ribbon on the bottom of the card.  I was on such a roll with this simple layout, I made another card using the Extreme Skateboarder!
