It’s an image that complements all kinds of expressions including a friendly hello, thank yous, sympathy, and birthdays.

Motorcycle 117657 Price: $8.95

Our Motorcycle single stamp is sure to get some engines revving on your projects—especially for the men in your life. For those of you with a road-rider in your circle or a son or father who is into bikes, the sketch-like look of this stamp will be a cool addition to a scrapbook page or card for a lot of different occasions.

Some sentiment ideas to get you rolling: congratulations, bon voyage, retirement, and birthdays. This stamp looks great colored in – to match a special bike – but its also great in simple black! Some fun embellishments to try with this stamp are embossing heavy duty aluminum foil for a background, or adding a layer of Crystal Effects to get a nice sheen to your color.

Masculine cards are sometimes hard to come by, but I bet with this stamp in your collection you will always have the coolest cards around!
