Wish you were here...

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.
