I am super excited to share today's project with you. One of my son's best friends is getting married next month, and I thought it would be fun to include a Honeymoon cash gift packaged in a mini-vintage suitcase made out of cardstock and decorative paper. I used Lori Whitlock's Silhouette cut-file for the suitcase, and added some decorative paper to the outside using Carta Bella's Well Traveled 6x6 paper pad. The vintage looking stamps were all hand-cut from one of their paper designs. I also lined the inside with their papers. I mean, all vintage suitcases had linings right?
I don't know about you, but I always attach a tag to my suitcase while traveling so it's easier to spot. Well, the Waltzingmouse Stamps Opera Tags set had the perfect little image to frame the new couple's initial, "R", that I stamped using Waltzingmouse's Victorian Alphabet. It was Rock~n~Rolled with Brick Red and Jumbo Java (VersaMagic), to give it an aged look. Isn't that tag the cutest!! The handle is just a piece of Suede Lace. I used Scor-Tape to attach a 1 1/4" x 2 1/2" piece of cardstock on the inside to hold the lace in place instead of knotting it in order to avoid some bulk.
Here's a view of it laying down.
Now for the fun surprise on the inside.
I'm sure you've all seen the fun Origami folded money. I thought it would be fun to include their gift of money in the form of clothes. I used two Youtube tutorials to learn how: Origami Pants, Origami Shirt with Tie
That about sums this little project up.
Thank you so much for dropping by.
Happy Stamping!
