You can put little bath and lotion bottles on one side and a bath sponge or washcloth on the other. You can put candy in it or candles. For Father's Day, you can make one of these and decorate it to look like a tool box.
Very cool! Come back soon!
The background was stamped using Papertrey's Polka Dot Basics stamps and Versamark ink. If you've never heard of Papertrey, I highly recommend you visit their web page. Their stamp sets are simple, but so classy. The Polka Dot Basics background stamp set is one of my best investments. It's something I'll be using again and again. If you are just starting out in stamping, I really suggest you buy this stamp set.
Here's a close-up of the box front. I added some gold embellishment to match the gold line I drew around the mat.
I decided to use velcro for the closure instead of ribbon because it's for a guy. I like it because it keeps the box looking "clean".
Here's the bank book inside the box.
I added the message inside the bank book.
Hope you like it!
Here's the bank book that holds the cash and is stored inside the box.
The cap and gown stamps are by Studio G. The sentiments are from Stampin' Up!
I used the half pearl from my Pretties Kit.
I thought about making a masculine version for Father's Day. Instead of using the scallop circle for the cover, I used another Top Note Die. I also used a shorter piece of cardstock for the handle.
For the enclosure, I poked a couple of holes and inserted a piece of elastic cord which I tied on the back to secure it. To hide the holes, I used one of the labels from the Matchbox Die and placed a sentiment on it. The cord goes around the large brad and keeps the case closed. You could also use a large button, but this was all I had.
Here's a picture of the back and top.
Everything I used for both projects are from Stampin' Up except the large brad on the briefcase. 
Here's a picture of my main set of markers.
I love Stampin' Up products because the papers, cardstock, stamps, inks, markers...everything coordinates which makes it easy to create. So, if you use Stampin' Up papers, you really should get the entire set of markers. Actually, even if you don't use Stampin' Up stuff, these markers are great for stamping multi-colored sentiments. Just color directly onto the stamp with different colors, breathe on it, and stamp! The results are awesome.
Here's a picture of the back. I love it!
I had so much fun making the first one, I decided to make another.
I had to add this little flower because my youngest child went into my room and got a hold of my snips. She also found the pieces of this backpack on my desk and decided to "try" the scissors. I was not a happy camper, but I improvised.
I'm sure I'm going to make many more of these. They would be perfect for holding gift cards to give to teachers at the end of the school year or for giving friends who are graduating. 
Here's what I made.
I really like the color combo of this paper.
Since recovering from the flu, it's really taking me a while to start feeling creative. First, I had to catch up on all the work I didn't do while I was sick. I'm still not quite caught up, but I needed to have some creative time. This was a nice sketch to get me motivated.
Being tired, I had to keep my card very simple. My creative energy was a bit low today. Still, I liked my card. I used one of my new stamp sets from My Favorite Things.
I love the swirly steam that's coming from the cup of coffee! That's probably what I need right now...a nice hot cup of creative caffeine! Although, a good night's sleep would be great too. The bummer is I submitted this card too late for the contest. Oh, well! At least I had some fun! Have an awesome weekend!
This was a challenge for me. I had to make several adjustments to my card. My first image was on white cardstock with the sentiment on the bottom. When I attached the tag, I realized that my sentiment was too low and would not show when free standing. So, I had to cut off the image portion and trim it. I actually like it better trimmed with the oval behind it.
