I am totally loving the travel theme of this month's Papertrey Ink Release. If I could, I would travel all the time. I'd even live in an RV if my husband would let me....but he won't. So instead, I am stopping in today with 3 cards about traveling.
This first one is my favorite. The set is called Get Lost and it has so many fun elements included. I used 5 of the sentiments to make this little background panel....
And then I used the US die cut and heat embossed another sentiment in the center. I tucked some Dark Chocolate behind the panel for a little contrast. I did cut the card down just a tad, so the panel would stick up just a little.

I found some inspiration on pinterest for this next card. All I did was search for suitcases and found tons of pictures of brightly colored bags, so I came up with this...
This set is called Pack Your Bags. It has a great set of coordinating dies to go with it as well. I cut out 3 suitcase dies and then stamped them each in a different color. The 2-step stamping for the handles is so easy to line up and so much fun!
For this last card, I used the new luggage tag die, called Tag #11. Except I turned it over and saw a phone...
I used an element from the Monthly Moments: Travel Plans, in the background and then made a little map using the Hawaii die. I stamped the sentiment from These United States and added in a little heart. I added in the "call me" sentiment from Desktop Design on a vellum banner to finish it off. OH, I added in the little signal bar, also from Monthly Moments: Travel Plans, just to give it a fun little phone element.
For more fun travel themed cards, check out the rest of the DT...

Cool cards, Laurie! I'm thinking I need to start encouraging my friends and family to travel just so that I can use this set to its fullest! :-)
