Travel Postage Collage Card Tutorial with the May 2026 Crafty Crew Kit
Today we are cheering on sweet Danni B. with another adorable creation featuring the May 2026 Crafty Crew Kit! This card is such a fun take on the travel theme, and we love how she used the Toad Trip 4x6 Stamp Set with a postage collage style layout to showcase several of the tiny travel images all at once. From the suitcase and airplane to the sunny island and camera-holding frog, every little section feels like its own mini adventure.
Here’s what Danni had to say about her card:
Hey crafty friends! I'm back today with another card using the fabulous May 2026 Crafty Crew Kit!
I knew that for today's card I wanted to use the Toad Trip stamp set. I can't get over the cuteness of the frogs and all their travel accessories! I wanted to use quite a few of the stamps, so I decided to pull out one of the postage collage dies from my stash.
Once I had the images stamped, I colored them up with Copics and started building my card.
How I put this card together:
- I began by die-cutting my postage collage panel from white cardstock.
- Next, I stamped several of the travel-themed images from the Toad Trip 4x6 Stamp Set into the different openings. I used a mix of small accessory images along with the adorable frog holding the camera.
- After stamping, I colored each image with Copic markers and softly added blue around the images for a sky-like background inside each section.
- I chose the green polka dot paper from the Adventure Awaits 6x6 Pattern Paper to use as the layer underneath the collage panel. That bright green frame really helps the white collage layer stand out.
- Once the layers were adhered to the card base, I added the sentiment across the center and popped it up with foam tape for dimension.
- To finish the card, I added white gel pen highlights for extra detail and a little shine.
I love how this card lets you feature several smaller stamps in one design. It would be such a fun card to send to someone heading off on a trip or starting a new adventure!
