Life's an Adventure

Hello!  Playing with some old pattern paper and some other items from my stash to create this card with a Travel theme.  The pattern paper by Teresa Collins was a great place to start and I added some stickers from Creative Imagination and a sentiment from my stash of stamps.  I stamped the words on a scrap of tan CS with Memento Tuxedo black ink and inked the edge with black. Added a Brad Camera that I have had (hoarded) for years waiting for the right card to use. Used a Kraft card base and a Black mat to assemble the card.  Like the collage look of the finished card.
Challenges:
Stamp, Ink, Paper: Challenge 112 Travel
Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge: August Challenge use pattern paper
As You Like It Challenge: Theme is to showcase a project using your Favorite Embellishment (& why).  I love Brads especially special ones like the Camera on my card.  They give such a individual and personal touch.

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Safe Travels

 

Hello!!  Guess I have traveling on my mind since we traveled about 1200 miles this past week.   When I saw the Challenge #39 at Tag You're It!,  I thought of this trailer stamp from an old set by Flourishes.   I stamped it on white CS with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics.   I matted it on Green CS and wrote the words Safe Travels.  Added a bit of twine  to complete the tag.  This will be for a gift for someone leaving on a trip.   Must hurry before the challenge closes.  By for now.

Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Traveling by Camper

Hello!  Today this card was inspired by Challenge 24 at Retro Rubber which has a Travel Theme.  When I saw the graphic, I thought of a Flourishes stamp set "S'more Fun"  that I won a couple years ago and never used.  I know it is old because I won it shortly before Flourishes went out of business.....I so love their stamps.
 Anyhoo, back to my card...I stamped the Camper with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored the image with a bunch of Copics and Memento Markers and even added some Glossy Accents to the windows and pots. After cutting the image with a circle die and then a rectangle die which I did not like, I freehand cut the image and placed on Navy CS and then on to some leftover scrapbook paper of a map.  Finished with some old Creative Imagination stickers from stash and attached to Navy card base.

A fun card ...maybe to send to someone leaving on a trip or even retiring.

My DH asked what state was the map for and I had no idea. It appears it might actually be part of Ohio not far from our home.

I have never traveled or stayed in a camper and do not have any desire to do so.  My idea of camping out is a motel with all the amenities of home.
Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Ticket for Traveling

 Hello!  I hope your weekend is going great!  I took time to make a card for some challenges about travel and tickets.   I was thinking about a bulletin board made with ribbons to hold memorabilia  as I designed my layout so my card resembles a board holding tickets attached with paperclips on bands of organza ribbons.   I stamped the Baggage Claim Ticket (cut out from pattern paper) with a sentiment from Heartfelt Creations with Memento Espresso Truffle ink.  This ticket was attached with a brad so the ticket can move to reveal a message underneath.  I will add that when I use the card and thought it would be appropriate to wish Bon Voyage, Happy Retirement or even  Happy Birthday, etc.. All pattern papers are from Heartfelt Creations Celebrate the Journey Collection papers.   The card base is Oyster Pearl Glossy CS from my stash. Tiny paperclips are from Ranger and ribbons and brad are from stash.

Challenges:
Simon Says Stamp:  Monday Challenge is Ticket, Please!
City Crafter Challenge Blog: Week 276 World Traveler. Inspiration board on right.  Inspired by the tickets and colors.



Have a great day! I love reading your comments. Theresa

Road Trip

Second Post :
I am still playing with travel theme cards....maybe thinking of all the traveling done over Memorial Day weekend.  I recently received Doodle Pantry Classic Cars 2 digital images and could not wait to use the Ford Ragtop Image.  I printed and fussy cut the red car and used with some old  Paper Pizazz road map paper.  I used orange Core-dinations canvas texture as card base layered with a red textured card stock, then the pattern paper that I embossed with Cuttlebug EF Tiny Bubbles. I lined the road with a narrow Satin Orange ribbon and added the car with pop up foam. Finished with a sticker from Creative Imaginations.  Thought this came out rather colorful.

Challenges:
Crafty Ribbons Challenge: Theme is Drive Time with ribbon
Simon Wednesday Challenge: Theme is Vacation/Travel
Paper Crafting Journey: Theme is For That Special Man... my special man loves convertibles and travel
Crafty Catz Challenge: Embossing....used Tiny Bubbles EF


Wishing everyone a happy and safe Memorial Day!
I enjoy all your comments. Thank you. Theresa
