I❤️TRAVEL - PILLOW BOX TRAVEL TREATS | with Karen

Each year at the end of summer, my two daughters take a final road trip with their dad out to a fair. I have to start back to work during the fair, so it's a road trip that the family takes without me. And while I love the alone time (shhhh....don't tell them), I also miss them dearly! So I usually pack a picnic lunch and a car full of treats for them to take on their adventure. The new "i ❤️travel" collection is the perfect set for me to add some crafty goodness to the travel treats! And with so many stamps in the "i ❤️travel" and "let's getaway" sets with coordinating dies, I could create little pillow boxes for each day of the trip!
And the best part is that these stamps have just enough detail that they don't take a huge amount of time to colour! Colour them up with some alcohol markers or pencil crayons to coordinate with the papers you choose and you are all done...
...except for the embellishments! I think a few cute mini paperclip and some great sprinkles will do the trick, don't you?
Whether you are sending loved ones off on a road trip, off to camp or even off on a life adventure like a new job or a new move, I hope these little pillow boxes inspire you to add a little bit of crafty goodness to your well wishes!
Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Amanda, pillow boxes are really easy! Essentially, they are just a tube of paper with rounded tops that you pinch a bit! While I cut these ones out with I cut file I created, you can just do a search for "pillow box tutorials" and you will get many different ones that you can trace onto your paper and then cut out. I hope this helps!
