Hello, my friends!
Today's card couldn't be more fitting. My husband surprised me last week for my birthday with a trip starting in Nashville, Tennessee, and ending in Asheville, North Carolina. If you want to check out the highlights of our adventure click HERE for the Reel. He had this trip planned since December and I wasn't sure I was going to be able to go as I have been dealing with a herniated disc in my back since January. Thankfully I have come a long way with lots of physio and rehab. This trip was just what I needed both physically and mentally as these past 6 months have not been the easiest for me. Hopefully, my 48th year will be a better one!🤞
CARD RECIPE
Paper - Grab Your Passport Paper Pad
Frame 1 - Lovely Layouts: Posted - Dies
Frame 3 - Sweet Stacks: Rectangles
Suitcases - Lovely Layers: Small Suitcases Dies
Flowers - Lovely Layers: Globe Dies
Sentiment - Plane Awesome Stamps
Tools - Ink Blender Brushes
Pearls - Travel Pearl Stickers
- Begin by die-cutting and assembling the Lovely Layers: Small Suitcases Dies
- For a fun detail, I added white stitched lines all around the suitcases using a gel pen
- Die-cut the largest frame using the Lovely Layouts: Posted - Dies and paper from Grab Your Passport Paper Pad
- The next frame comes from the Lovely Layouts: Party Frames - Honey Cuts. Add foam to the back and glue to the previous frame
- Die-cut the smallest frame using the Sweet Stacks: Rectangles, add ink blending to the edges to distress the paper, and give it a vintage vibe.
- Stamp the sentiment out using Plane Awesome Stamps in Bee Creative Intense Black Ink
- Add foam to the back of the suitcases and arrange them onto the card front.
- Glue the die-cut flowers from the Lovely Layers: Globe Dies in place
- Add the Travel Pearl Stickers to the center of the flowers
I love how this Suitcase Birthday Wishes Card turned out. The travel, birthday, and vintage vibes are just so pretty! The Lovely Layers: Small Suitcases Dies are so versatile I will definitely use them more in the future. Make sure to stop by my Instagram next as I will share how to reel there.
Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
