Road Trip
Pack the Suitcase, buckle up in the Road Trip Car and take off in the Airplane. These general travel icons, including a Camera, a Globe and a Hot Air Balloon, are made for trip journals, travel-themed party invitations and bon voyage cards. To stamp a specific place instead, head to Travel Icons, or leave the pavement behind with Camping.
Telling the Story of a Trip
Road trip stamps work like a visual itinerary. Start a journal spread with Travel Tickets or Destination Sign, mark each leg with Road Trip Car, Taxi or Airplane, and close it with Travel Photos or Travel Graphic. Sleep Mask and Luggage Bag add a little humor to long-haul pages.
Beyond the journal
- Going-away and retirement parties: a Hot Air Balloon or Globe on invitations and the guest book.
- Bon voyage cards: Airplane on the front, the departure date inside.
- Graduation gifts: an Adventure Banner on a card tucked into a new suitcase.
- Kids' car games: stamp a page of icons to spot along the route.
Layout tip
Run a dotted line by hand between stamps, Suitcase to Road Trip Car to Mountain Landscape, to turn a page into a map of the journey. Left Turn Sign makes a playful marker where the plan changed.
Road Trip Stamp Questions
What should I write next to travel stamps?
Short facts sit well beside a stamp: the date, the place, the weather and one detail you want to remember, such as a meal or a song on the radio. Keep a consistent spot for the date, for example under each icon, so the journal is easy to skim later.
Can I make a bon voyage party with these stamps?
Yes. Stamp Airplane or Globe on invitations, a Suitcase on each place card, and Travel Tickets on favor bags for a matching set. A guest book page with a Hot Air Balloon at the top gives everyone a spot to write travel wishes for the guest of honor.
Which ink colors suit a vintage travel look?
Navy, rust red, mustard and faded teal echo old luggage labels and postcards, especially on cream or kraft card. Stamp slightly off-center and let a few prints run to the paper edge for a well-traveled feel, then add handwritten place names in a fine black pen.
