1 Use the Travel Much die to
cut suitcase boxes from
coloured card. Crease along
the scorelines and assemble,
slipping the handle through the
slot at the top of the case.
Fold in the ends of the case, no
glue is required.
2 Ink the Big Cheesecloth
stamp and print onto card
in a contrasting shade. When
dry, cut tags from the printed
card. Ink flower and leaf
stamps and press onto white
textured card. Colour
in the designs.
3 Place the corresponding
dies over the coloured
images and lightly fix in place
with washi tape. Die-cut the
motifs and layer together
on the tags with foam pads.
Thread the labels using
embroidery strands and
tie to the box handles.
Stamp and colour
all images onto
one sheet to save
fiddling with small
scraps of card
