Adventure truly does await… and today it comes in the cutest, most nostalgic little package! I’m so excited to share a brand-new project that pushes creativity, transforms a simple kit, and celebrates all things travel, adventure, and retro charm.
Today, we’re taking the Adventure Awaits 9-card kit from the Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection and turning it into an adorable, fully functional MINI ALBUM shaped like a VW van! 🚐✨
A Card Kit… turned into a Mini Album? Yes, please!
This cute little card kit is something special! The Adventure Awaits kit has such a fun, versatile vibe—vintage vehicles, playful travel themes, and artwork that celebrates every kind of journey:
vintage truck
beach cruiser
old Cadillac with a cityscape
outdoor adventure icons
bold retro colors
All of those cute components gave me the perfect base to create a retro, playful, adventure-ready VW Van Mini Album. And the coolest part? You can still see the original kit pieces, but the project as a whole is completely transformed. That’s my favorite kind of crafting magic. ✨
Watch the Full Process Video
This project is step-by-step, with voice-over instruction, and paced so you can follow along without feeling rushed.
