 Last December I made duct tape wallets to give cash and gift cards to my Dad and nephew for their birthdays. I never got around to sharing them, but I thought they'd be appropriate now for Father's Day. If you are going to give Dad cash or a gift card, make it fun with a duct tape wallet. I made the one above with camo tape and trimmed it with silver. The one below was made for a Christmas party gag gift and I made it solid camo. I used the same tutorial I used when I made my hubby a skull tape wallet . Check out more Father's Day Gift ideas HERE .

I needed to get a card made for my Daddy and I was about to run out of time. I pulled a Phindy's Place image from my stash that I had already colored this morning and turned to some challenges for some inspiration. I used the sketch over at CPS and some jute twine for the Crazy4Challenges call for twine, floss, or string. I thought this was a nice masculine touch. I also played Simon Says bingo . I used the bottom row - shape (Nesties label), ribbon and sentiment. I colored my image with the following Copics: C4, N9, G29,E39, E35, E07, B24, B18, C10,C6,G85,YG67, Y17, E17.  Papers are from K&Co. I used sentiment stamps from Stampendous and Stamping Bella. Do you stampers ever combine images or sentiments from different companies on a project or stick to the same line for each company? Thanks for stopping by!

Clip art is a great way to dress up a gift bag.

I just wanted to post a reminder that etsygreetings street team is having a buy 3 get 1 free promo until May 31. So.. get your graduate a card, get one for Dad (Father's Day is fastly approaching), and get a couple of birthday cards or all occasion cards to stash for those last minute emergencies.
