Every now and then, my creativity needs a little helping hand.

Living with an autoimmune disorder means there are days when I’m simply not up for designing something from scratch. Instead of putting my supplies away, I love to CASE (Copy And Share Everything/Copy And Selectively Edit) projects from talented artists. It’s a wonderful way to keep creating, learn new techniques, and most importantly, find a little joy on the days when my body and brain aren’t cooperating.

This adorable suitcase box card is slight variation on the beautiful original design by Sarah Leese. I fell in love with her version and recreated it almost exactly, with slight edits for a few of my own little touches. I firmly believe it’s perfectly okay to recreate another artist’s work, as long as you give credit where it’s due and never claim the design as your own.

A huge thank you to Sarah Leese for sharing both her creativity and a fantastic tutorial showing exactly how to make these fun 3D suitcase box cards. If you’d like to make one yourself, you can watch her tutorial here:

I hope this little tropical getaway in a suitcase brings a smile to your day as much as it did mine while I was making it. 💕🌴✈️
