Retirement Suitcase Card - FREE Suitcase Silhouette Studio Cut File

Hey Everyone!

Today I have a FREE Suitcase Silhouette studio file to share with you all 😁
Recently I was asked to make a card for a friend and colleague of mine from work who recently retired and loves to travel. So making a suitcase card for her was a no brainer!

Of course when I make a design I love to share it with my followers, just more fun that way plus it makes my heart happy seeing what other people create with them!

So all you will get with the download is the suitcase (no card or base). I think suitcase would also look great used in a scrapbook layout.

The stamp set I used on the card comes from Altenew - Succulents, it was the only stamp set I had that had a retirement sentiment! I must rectify that soon 😜 Let me know if you have any favorite "Retirement" stamp sets I need to shop for!

I kept the inside simple with just a congratulations.

For those of you that want to watch me piece the suitcase together and assemble the card, I have a process video for you to watch. For details on the supplies I used check the links below.

Vacation Pictures of Peru | Travel

Hi Everyone!

I finally had a chance to put together some pictures of our trip to Peru to share with you all! Not my usual kind of crafty post, but I think photography is an art and I love to practice it when I can. I tried to capture our experience, the people, the culture and of course the breathtaking views. Here are some of my favorite shots. 

The worried man. Sitting outside a church... wonder what's on his mind? 

This poor man was passed on the steps - One too many Pisco Sours!

Peruvians have their bases covered... Rooftop offerings both Gods! 

This beautiful lady showed us how they weave and make their very colorful lama and alpaca yarn.

Rescued Ox! Jose our driver stopped the van to untangle this Ox from the fence.

One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen and stayed during our trip. Arawana Sacred Valley Hotel.

Another one of my favorite pictures... when I took this picture I never noticed the man sitting in the bush!

Prickly pears... so delicious, had no idea they grew on a cactus!

Beautiful Bloom!

The three Caballeros...

put on a traditional horse show and dance for us!

Peruvian Moma and her baby at the local market! Aren't they gorgeous!?! Love the colors!

Can you tell we are a bit excited! That... or we chewed a few too many coca leaves, lol! 

Thank you to our friends Luis and Isabel for the fun times and wonderful memories!

One more checkmark on our Bucket List!

Machu Picchu the highlight of our trip! Literally breathtaking!!!

I hope you enjoyed my very condensed version of our trip... 1500 pics thought might be a bit too much for you all... If you really want to see more I recommend you go visit this majestic place!

Personalized Etched Glass Souvenirs | DIY

It's almost time for our Portugal vacation!!! Can't wait to see all our family! I didn't realize how much Canada stuff I had bought to give away, I think I'm going to have a suitcase full just in souvenirs! I hope I have enough room for everything! Hopefully, I'll be able to get some blogging time of my adventures there, if not I have scheduled posts for while I'm gone!

Anyways, I always find it hard to decide on what to take everyone. So for a few people that I know love crafts I decided I would make them a personalized etched glass mug. This one is for my Aunt Judite (Judith in Portuguese)! Hope she likes it, I know she loves crafting so I know she will appreciate it!

On the backside of the mug I added a maple leaf!

 Love how it turned out. If you want to know how I did this check out my previous blog posts on etched glass projects! Here, here, and here!

Happy crafting everyone :)

Banff | Personalized Water Bottles

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend... I sure did :)

This weekend we escaped to the beautiful mountains of Banff  National Park, with some friends of ours. For those of you who love to ski or enjoy the great outdoors, this is the perfect place for you to visit. Since the weather is getting better, the timing couldn't have been more perfect.

Here are a few pics from our trip...

Our little family!

Maia, Tomas and Annabella :)

Awwww! Love this pic ;)

And here are the water bottles I personalized for my kids to take on our trip... no more wondering/fighting about whose water bottle is whose! They already had enough to argue about in a 4 hour road trip :(

Here is a link on how I personalized the bottles, but on a tumbler cup.

Happy crafting everyone!

Ilda :)
