Travel card
We travel a lot, often with an RV tour group. Each tour usually includes about 50 people, plus the tour leaders. It’s great fun because we travel in our own RVs but camp and explore together. Some of our tours last more than two months, and we truly enjoy seeing the countryside while traveling with like-minded friends.
I made this card as a thank-you for our tour guides. It’s a little hard to see in the photo, but the black cardstock was embossed with Lacey Leaves, which adds beautiful texture. I used the Tunnel Arches die set to create the layered design on the front of the card.
Inside, I used the Windowsill Flowers set so it looks like you’re gazing out a window at a warm, inviting summer scene. I scored the two smaller arches at ¼" and adhered them to the sides of the large arch. If you look closely, you can see wherethe center arch overlaps the smaller arches in the photo below.
This versatile card works for almost any occasion. I used diecuts from the Field Notes and Specimens die to create the layered front. First, I cut a layer from black cardstock, followed by a patterned paper layer. I offset the centerfold of each layer so that a 1/4" border would show at the scalloped and bottom edges. I then added another patterned paper layer on top, trimmed ¼" shorter so the black scalloped edge peeks out.
Inside, there’s a pretty vase of flowers cut with the Windowsill die set, along with a coordinating sentiment from the patterned papers. It’s a beautiful way to let someone know you care.
