Wanderlust

Hey everybody, happy Friday! You’ve undoubtedly read in my previous posts that Ed and I are moving from Colorado to Iowa, so we’ve been super busy. Thank goodness for the ability to schedule posts ahead of time or I’d be SOL! I’m thrilled to share a Brutus Monroe DT inspiration project today featuring the amazing Road Trip stamp set along with our Pink Lemonade cardstock and Spring Splatter papers. Any kind of RV/camper stamp sets have a special place in my heart because we were full-time RVers for several years. We’ve met a lot of awesome people and had some really good times… great memories for sure! I saw this pop up block card year before last on Lisa Curcio’s blog and it’s one of my all-time favorite fun folds to make.

I cut the card base and blocks from our Pink Lemonade cardstock along with layering panels from our Spring Splatter 6×6 Paper Pack. I stamped the camper from the Road Trip stamp set in Raven ink on Solar White cardstock. I colored it with an assortment of markers, fussy cut it and then stamped a sentiment on it in Catherine Pooler Samba ink. I added a tiny bow fashioned from Keep It Simple Back To Basics Black & White Ribbon along with several of our Light Pink Flat Back Crystals.

I added a Solar White panel to the back which I embellished with a leftover strip of the Spring Splatter paper. I stamped another sentiment from the Road Trip stamp set in Raven ink, which completed the card. I included a shot of the card folded flat for mailing. Love it!

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We care for 15 feline rescues and just added a Forkie pup to the tribe (Frenchie + Yorkie)! I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty or puppy lovins! ;)

  1. well I totally missed you are moving! Good luck with the move. The thought of moving (my stamp room) – nope. Looking forward to new stories about Iowa! Be sure I get your new address please 😀. Meanwhile, loving this trailer card! We’re off for a week of camping. It’s been a year since we used our trailer!
