ITP June Release Day #3

Welcome to day #3 of reveals at Ink to Paper for their June release which will go live on the 15th at 10pm EST. Today, we are introducing you to Vintage Travel Suitcase die + Vintage Suitcase stamp set + Walk With Me stamp set and dies + Just Sentiments: Wish You Were Here stamp set. Before I get to the details of my Featured Project cards, I will post this sweet little suitcase box created with a new die and a new stamp set.

I used some textured heavy weight patterned paper (retired from Stampin' Up) for the box then added the accents in Dark Chocolate card stock.

I curved the handle and attached it with tiny copper brads. The straps and corner pieces were just glued in place. These would make adorable favor boxes for a travel-themed party! The tag could be adhered to the side of the box with foam tape or tied to the handle.

STAMPS: Vintage Suitcase.
INK: Cocoa Bean.
PAPER: Dark Chocolate, Rustic Cream; Patterned 12x12 paper.
DIES: Vintage Travel Suitcase.
OTHER: Ribbon, Twine, Copper brads.

My first card is clean and simple. The water colored panel is a leftover center piece from a previously cut frame die you will see in tomorrow's post. Two of the layers are popped with foam tape. I took cues from the water color panel for my ink choices with the sandals. I'm noticing in the photos that the black twine is mighty hairy - lol!

STAMPS: Walk With Me.
INK: Berry Sorbet, True Black; Worn Lipstick, Festive Berries, Twisted Citron, Peeled Paint distress inks.
PAPER: Bristol Smooth Surface; Soft Stone, Weathervane, Pale Peony.
DIES: Walk With Me, Mix & Mat: Postal die; Stitched Circle.
OTHER: Black twine.

This is my fave of the 3 cards using these shoe images.  I used lots of texture with adding layers that are pierced, faux stitched or dry embossed with a pattern. These sidewalk chalk flowers will be introduced tomorrow but I sneaked some of them onto this card.

Some helpful tips are to angle your panels for a fun layout. I used a black gel pen to go over the stamped flower centers to make them a brighter black color.

STAMPS: Walk With Me, Sidewalk Chalk Flowers.
INK: Lovely Lady, Raspberry Fizz, Lemon Tart, Summer Sun, Bright Buttercup, New Leaf, Simply Chartreuse, True Black, Spring Rain, Enchanted Evening, Dark Indigo.
PAPER: Harvest Gold, White, Bitty Big: Green Parakeet.
DIES: Walk With Me, Sidewalk Chalk Flowers, Pierced Frames, Border Bling: Tin Stitch, Mix & Mat: Scallops; Stitched Rectangle.

Last but not least is a mini slimline card. I used this beautiful patterned paper from PTI's Share Your Heart Collection. A trio of shoes and and sentiment and this was a quick and easy card to put together!
 

TIPS:
1. Layering the striped paper over black helps the design tie in with the black sentiment.
2. White ink or white gel pen on the shoe laces helps to define it.
